So he gives his name as the crossbow cannibal in court, mmmmm not guilty

[jno]

sounds like the beginnings of a plea of not guilty on grounds of insanity.

[sandyRoe]

He'd need to be very sick to murder at least 3 young women. Whether he's sick enough to avoid a murder conviction and be convicted on manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility remains to be seen.

[Garmard]

For this type of crime, if he's found guilty he should be completely isolated in a cell for the rest of his life.

4getmenot has found him guilty already, judging by the title of this question.

[Greedyfly]

How can he be allowed to claim insanity when he studied criminology? As much as I hate to admit it he is probably quite intelligent. I hope to god he had nothing to do with the Claudia Lawrence case - she is missed greatly around here. I hope they find the others (im sure I heard on the radio they think there are more). I hope he goes down for life!

[LoftyLottie]

Insanity has nothing whatsoever to do with intelligence though Greedyfly. It is very often those who are most intelligent that end up 'insane'.

[Garmard]

I was gobsmacked when i heard about about the Claudia Lawrence case, me and my wife love York and could not envisage any kind of crime going on there.

[Greedyfly]

I understand that but insanity is often just a great way to relieve your sentence, high security mental ward/room or prison - I know which I would choose!

[Greedyfly]

Gamard your telling me, she used to be my neighbour - we have since moved away.

[McMouse]

I'd rather be slammed-up in Belmarsh than Broadmoor Greedyfly.

[Garmard]

OMG Greedfly.....What was she like as a person?

[Greedyfly]

TBH I didnt know her personally, I know friends of hers etc... Such a shame, it was horrible when it happened. I feel so sorry for her family. I hope they find her soon, alive. The world we live in beggers belief sometimes.

[Garmard]

Very cruel world yes....and i hope she is safe.

[Garmard]

Bye the way, you are lucky living in York, would love to live there instead here in boring Derbyshire.

[Greedyfly]

Lol thanks - I find it a tad boring at times, not much to do in ways of sociallizing etc... As I age I like it more, so thats a bonus. I moved up north over 15 years ago and have been here since, I do miss the south though =)

[Garmard]

York is my spiritual home greedfly....you can swap with me if you like?...lol!

[Greedyfly]

Lol - rent/house prices are quite high here - dependant on the area. Like everywhere, there are good parts and bad. It would be a nice place to raise children I think (not my plan though).

[Garmard]

My dream home would be a apartment or house overlooking York Minster......fantastic!

[Greedyfly]

I used to have a flat/house (quite big) above a shop - you could see the minster from our roof terrace, was nice. Had to move a few months ago. You should move here Garmard, soudn slike you belong. Sorry 4get we have taken over your serious post with tourism and houses =)

[Garmard]

Rather talk about York now.
