NO

from what I heard it's nothing like that, it was a guy who walked in on either his ex, or current gf I'm not sure, sleeping with some guy, nothing to do with "the fued" or any of those "families"

Sheebs

I know who it was, he's from Ferrybank originally. Can't believe this has happened!

Why the fcuk are scum like this given a weekend pass from prison? They have a great time on the inside anyway, so the only reason I can think of them wanting to be out is to settle an old score or revert to type.

He was in my brother's primary school... some way to go.

Can do what ya want now anyway, get bail, commit another crime go to jail for a few years, come out and do it again...

No wonder crime is escalating - no deterrent

the accused, and I have confirmation that it is indeed him who has been arrested, they aren't rumours....

well to be fair if he's convicted of this, he's not getting out till he's over 50, only sentence for murder is life, and he'll prob get more for attacking the woman too. but yeah I get what ya mean on lesser crimes

Not The Real Scarecrow

If its who I think it is , would I be right in assuming that the accused might have a history of attacking people with knives?

Ye so its confirmed now that it was him ... questions need to be asked on how he was left out on temp release after another knife crime, and now end up murdering someone with a knife . Its not as if cops did not know he was a risk .

It's easy to say that with hindsight. We don't hear about all the temporary releases which end without incident. I'm sure they vastly outnumber the ones which go wrong or they wouldn't be happening. They may have genuinely believed he wasn't a risk.

Hes been out of prison about 4 months after serving a few months. It was not weekend release or anything like that

dlofnep

It was apparently over his girlfriend/ex girlfriend from what I've heard.

What does a typical murderer look like? As mentioned in previous posts he had a conviction for a similar offence!! He cannot be defended for his actions...
