Absolutely awful. Some stories just hit you so much harder than others. It’s just wrong that an innocent little girl could have her life ended just like that.
Can’t imagine what the emergency services dealing with that has to go through. Thankfully they’ve arrested the guy and aren’t looking for anyone else so at least her family have that tiny relief. Terrifying to think kids that age being knifed in the street and that this is something happening in the UK.
I saw that picture of her earlier tonight all smiley and childlike and it choked me right up. 9 years old ffs. Can only hope she didn’t suffer.
I’m not pro the death penalty but I’ve always said if it was a family member killed I would want the person responsible if it was murder dead. But this story this week makes me think anyone who can murder a 9 year old in the street should be in the ground. Is that a reactionary view because of the emotive case or for the most extreme murders (this is assuming his guilt of course I concede) such as cold-blooded child killers be killed? It’s difficult to think there’s any reason a scumbag like that deserves to live. |  |

Until we know all the circumstances, very difficult to form a judgement of the murderer's character. What if, for example, they were having a schitzophrenic episode? |  |

What sort of sick b@stard stabs a 9 year old? Horrendous. |  |

It's a horrific thing to have happened and something that no family should ever have to go through.
I will point out that you've essentially said you're not in favour of the death penalty except the cases where you are, hence I think you might need to give this a little more thought.

It’s an horrendous thing, I simply cannot imagine how her poor family feel. Tragic on so many levels as I don’t believe anyone is born a murderer, maybe we need to address why these things happen and look to prevent them? |  | | |

Have thought about it some more in a more sober light.
But I still can’t unite come to the conclusion the fella who did this deserves to continue living his life. Even if that’s via her majesty’s pleasure | |

Problem is Rommers, if you hang convicted child killers, sooner or later you hang an innocent person. Miscarriages of justice happen and with them come the reality of what you are proposing. Stephan Kisco was found guilty, beyond all reasonable doubt of murdering a child. He'd have hanged for a crime he didn't commit. |  |

A heinous crime and incomprehensible to anyone with a scrap of human decency. Devastating for all who loved the child.
I was also disgusted that the BBC chose Rebekah Vardy and Coleen Rooney as their lead story for their news programmes (radio and TV) on the day it happened. Never mind relegating the cost of living, War in Ukraine etc, but a 9 year old child brutally murdered is seen as less important than two overhyped nobodies blowing a whole heap of cash on nothing but hubris is a further indictment of where we are at. |  |

It’s a good point BL. It’s hard to argue with that as killing someone who didn’t commit any crime is the ultimate mistake.
It just horrifying to think people who are guilty are allowed to carry on living their lives, albeit in prison. | |

Agenda setting is weird at the best of times. Even the BBC seem to have given up and are competing for clicks and traffic by appealing to lowest common denominator stuff.
Arguably, it's disgusting the whole WAG circus got so much air time given the behaviour and contents of the case. But it's an easier piece of conversational fluff than cases like this, Ukranian misery etc. so people will flock to it in a chicken and egg manner.
It does seem likely if we continue down the path we are on, the next Tory government will offer up the death penalty as some red meat for the media and its base to me. The prospect alone, terrifies me. |  |

We've done this, pardon the expression, to death.
Capital punishment doesn't work. It's consistently been proven that it doesn't work as a deterrent, there's a terrible rate of wrongful executions, and it's extremely expensive/a waste of everyone's time. |  |

It hits you much harder once you have children of your own.
Many reasons why I still wouldn't want the death penalty but there are many stories involving children that really get to me now - this one among them. |  |

Genuinely sick maybe, as in with a severe mental illness rather than the metaphorical 'sick' that people often use in these cases. Otherwise I cannot see any possible motive for it. |  |

No civilised society can have the death penalty, it fundamentally doesn't work.
But this guy needs locking up, for the rest of his life, for a crime as evil as that. |  |

Right, so to confirm, your first post isn't correct and you are actually in favour of the death penalty.

Chill out Stokie.
I am not in favour of the death penalty. In this specific instance it’s hard to justify that stance to myself that this sort of person can continue living his life after stabbing a 9 year old girl to death in the middle of the street. | |

There's just zero benefit in killing the offender, in my eyes. Even if the family think that's the right thing to do to bring them closure. Any decent society should recognise that as a whole.
Just my opinion. | |
