Russell Bishop who was found guilty of the "Babes in the woods" murders in a park in Brighton has died in HMP Durham. He had brain cancer. He had initially denied the murder but with new forensic techniques, he was retried in 2018 and found guilty.

Horrid, evil man. Thats what I call Karma!

Evil people but a society which has so many child murderers and molesters has some deep questions to ask of itself.

Why are the police and the whole justice apparatus so ineffectual ?

Do-gooders with too much time on their hands, Rollo, or they are people in power with undesirable relatives in danger of doing time.

They come up with some cockamamie ideas which are jumped upon and carried forward by fast-tracked civil servants with an eye on their futures.

I don’t believe in karma, I’m afraid - unless there is an afterlife that I know nothing about ….. yet!

I like the USA idea of life means life and they get terms of 99 years no getting out on good behaviour I'm sure if we applied that over here maybe we would not have so many murders
