regarding hanging - I too always think of Timothy Evans in the Christie case - that is why, even with DNA, w can't justify hanging - one mistake is one too many |

Ann it's a tragedy that will stay with the girls parents for the rest of their days. Also my thoughts go out to the parents of the young man responsible for the girls death. What a dreadful burden they will have to carry. |

Not just Gloucester is it Dermot? actually Gloucester is not too bad, this is not the first murder here in the past couple of years admittedly but mostly the perpetrator is known to the victim (not that that is excusable). On the whole the quality of life is not bad at all here, the usual yobs who think it fair to relieve people of their hard earned possessions. the usual youngsters who have too much to drink in the clubs. But, considering we are very much a multi cultural town there is not much unrest between ethnic groups etc. |

What does it take to be stabbed to death in Gloucester nowadays? |

But, according to the TV news at lunch time she wasn't, killed by her own scissors that is. Seems somehow the papers have been given wrong information and it was a knife which the police have. Doesn't make it any better except if it had been the scissors he may have had a manslaughter defence but if it was a knife he carried, that makes a difference to his offence. |

Taking photo's of an 'incident' scene is quite beyond me. a completely weird/macabre thing to do. As for capitol punishment, OH and I often discuss this and I think both us feel 'no', instinctively, we feel, yes hang the swine, BUT, are we not reducing ourselves to the level of these awful people? I have to admit I don't really know, but I always think of Edward Evans(?) in the Christy case, and what an awful miscarriage of justice that was.; Obviously there were plenty more, and once someone is dead - well they're dead, if you see what I mean. Killed with her own scissors? Oh how terrible. |

The value of life has been eroded. |

When we walked past yesterday there were quite a few members of the public, mostly young, pointing their phones at the white tent over the doorway. I had to admire the police officer who was there to talk to the press. One young girl pointed her phone right at his face and he didn't flinch or say anything. Not only a sad world but a strange one too. |

Seems Hollie was probably stabbed with her own scissors. How tragic for her and her family, friends and colleagues. Why can't people understand that when a relationship has run it's course, there is no good to come out of threats and such? |
