Murder-Accused 'Liked Idea Of Causing Pain And Suffering'

[naomi24]

This really is the most dreadful case.  Chilling.  Whatever causes kids to harbour such thoughts?

Given the notes found she could hardly claim any different.

 

Seems like they blame each other hoping to get lighter sentences because the actual individual can't be identified ? Probably end up both being found guilty anyway.

 

The mind is a strange thing in that it can generate any thought. It's a miracle most are as rational as they are, but I guess evolution has ensured the antisocial or otherwise damaged doesn't occur too often. And on top we all have different experiences. Two meeting up and egging each other on to more & more extremes is a bad situation.

If they have encouraged each other, as far as I'm concerned, they are as guilty as each other. Dangerous individuals who need taking out of society. I wonder if either of them showed sadistic tendencies when younger, pulling wings off insects etc, sometimes a first sign something is badly awry.

While I'm on the soap box, the outdated premise that a 'child' who kills is too young to be named needs bringing up to date. Old enough to kill, old enough to be named, in my view.

Every so often Mother Nature throws up a wrong 'un.

Its how we catch and deal with it that matters.  I am with Roo.

Seems like a classic case of folie a Deux.

Together they would do something that they'd only fantasize about on their own.  

Whatever the cause they're both evil.

So was i wrong un when I was a nipper, pulling legs of daddy long legs, burning ants with a magnifying glass, swinging cats by to their tails?

Once again, trying to find rational reasons for brutal psychotic behaviour yields nothing but a sense of baffling tragedy.

"the outdated premise that a 'child' who kills is too young to be named needs bringing up to date. Old enough to kill, old enough to be named, in my view."

they are only accused so far, not guilty.  When(if) they are found guilty they will be named?

piggynose did you really do those things,?
