Wedding murders in Dore Sheffield

[AT1969]

Perhaps this ruling will finally guarantee there is no possibility Hutchinson is released.

This case has made the news again, an apparent backtrack on their previous rulings. Possibly a fudge to make it look like Europe aren't interfering.

 

Surely this means he will never be released.

The way I see it is that if the sentence had been life imprisonment until death with no hope of appeal whatsoever, then the European Court would have ruled it illegal as being inhumane in denying any hope whatsoever.

 

However, the Justice Secretary has it within his power to parole him if he so wishes.

 

Therefore, he isn't officially 'without hope', and that is sufficient to allow the European court to allow the matter to remain as it is.

 

The reality being that this sorry excuse for a human isn't coming out.

 

As I mentioned in an earlier post, Basil Laitner was my solicitor and he was a kind and decent man who did not deserve the horror that was visited on him and his family by an evil and violent man.

 

I also met Basil's brother who has had to live with this nightmare for the rest of his life.

 

Hutchinson deserves to die where he is and no doubt that will be his fate.

[RichK]

Yes, that's my take on it as well.

 

Of course, no justice secretary who wants to remain so is likely to release any mass murderers.

It's also being reported on R.S. too.

 

Hutchinson is now 73, he'll be trying to do a Biggs.

 

The big difference between Hutchinson and Ronnie Biggs is that Hutchinson is a maniac who is a danger to the public, whereas Biggs is simply a train robber and a danger to nobody.

The chances of him being released are minimal. This is about whether whole life sentences should be reviewed - as they used to be in this country after 25 years until 2003. There's nothing to stop the authorities reviewing his sentence and then saying "Nope - you're staying inside".

 

I'm not even sure that letting someone build up their hopes that they might get released only to have them dashed is not worse for the inmate that just being told you're never getting out.

 

What the judge should have done is sentence Hutchinson to separate life sentences for each Laitner that he murdered - so for the murders of Mr and Mrs Laitner and their son, that could be 75 years per person - or 225 years. Even if he only served half of each of those sentences, that would still leave him with at least 35 years per person or 105 years. I think that seems reasonable.

must have been an unlucky home, because 2 friends of mine bought it. He fell off a high place and crushed his pelvis, never walked properly after, his wife had a brain tumor whilst living there, she was ok after, but the 3rd thing was that their daughters baby died of a cot death

Some years before the murders, the Laitners had a child drown in a pond, and the mother had cancer-all at the same address.

There are 55 lifers.

 

That is, 'never coming out' and that's since Strasbourg backed off interfering with British Law.

 

Brady is the prime example but of course most folk are too young nowadays to remember what real horror, real evil actually is.

 

Those who make up the other 54 realise that as long as Brady stays confined - 40 something years now - then they have no hope of release.

 

Ultimately, when push comes to shove and despite all the hot air of the Farages of this country, our law will stand and resist anything that Europe says.

 

Let them remain behind bars, confined, restricted and only able to remember freedom in their dreams. It is a wonderful punishment. Let them long for death [as Brady does] but live long empty, pointless, unfulfilled lives.

Its almost fifty years, now, owethem.... It was 1966 if i remember correctly.

Their crimes were beyond horrific.

 

The terrible thing was, in relation to the timing of their arrest and trial was that the DP was abolished just two weeks before Brady and Hindley came to trial.

Im not a supporter of the DP, but for their crimes, but part of me does think that it would have been a fitting option for them.

I also knew Basil Laitner through business,and I believe Basils brother would not have to live so much of a nightmare if Hutchinson had been executed!...........long term imprisonment where a person rots is medieval in the extreme.Give a sense of closure to those left behind,which will never come while a murderer is still alive.the world would be a better place if Hutchinson and his ilk had gone years ago.Relatives would find it easier to forget and not be tortured over and over by stories like this.
