I hope they are caught but the problem is they probably won't receive an appropriate sentence.

[sandyRoe]

There's only one sentence for anyone convicted of murder. It's life.

[Old_Geezer]

Quite

[ToraToraTora]

I hope TROB are happy.

[kvalidir]

Shut up Tora with your constant insults, NO-ONE is happy about this. How about posting something flaming constructive once in a while, you're like a broken record? 'TROB. TROP, EUSSR' etc etc etc ad nauseum.
This poor old fella is dead and EVERYONE is appalled, whilst all you can do is think to try to point score off it. Shame on you.

[ToraToraTora]

I'll shut up when society stops making excuses for scum. These lowlives are encouraged by your liberal attitude. Can you not tell when they are taking the ssip?

[ToraToraTora]

"EVERYONE is appalled" - not enough to sort it though, eh?

[kvalidir]

//These lowlives are encouraged by your liberal attitude.//
I'm 20, you and your generation are the ones who have shaped society, made laws, constructed punishments for crimes, not mine, we've not had our 'turn' yet, so forgive me if I decline to take the blame for behaviour like this and dump it squarely on YOUR doorstep to deal with. Except you won't you'll just bleat on here like a saddo, because you think it makes you look macho. Idiot.

[ToraToraTora]

this may surprise you kval but I agree. the last couple of generations have failed us all. Criminal scum have got away with murder because our society is fully of TROB prannies letting them.

[Mamyalynne]

Tragic that this wonderful gentleman should die this way after all he's been through.

I too hope they catch them.

RIP Peter.

[albaqwerty]

Hopefully, they will be caught and a decent sentence will me meted out.

My thoughts are with his family and friends.

[EDDIE51]

As he died within a month of ,and as a result of the robbery, it WILL BE MURDER !! . As said, there is only One possible sentence for murder ''Life in Prison''

[marval]

That is a dreadful thing for anyone to do. I hope they catch them and lock them up for life.

RIP Peter

[Davemano]

Eddie - the yardstick for murder is A year and a day. Month has no bearing on murder.

[TonyV]

*** I'm seething- what is country coming to?

[ToraToraTora]

eddie: "As said, there is only One possible sentence for murder ''Life in Prison'' - indeed, but how many actually do life?

[mushroom25]

//how many actually do life? //

since 2002 there have been 63 recommendations from sentencing judges for whole life tariffs - although a number have been reduced on appeal. there are also some prisoners who have determinate length sentences but due to the minimum term (and their age), it'll amount to the same thing.

[youngmafbog]

Hit the nail right on the head there TTT.

These savages know they can get away with evn murder these days, not likely to get caught and if they do a pitiiful sentence.

There's only one sentence for anyone convicted of murder. Yes there is - The rope. That stops the bleding heart librals letting them out.

[hereIam]

Poor, dear old chap. Hated that picture of him lying in his hospital bed and all for a £20 TV !!! After a life well lived, this is how he ended up because of mindless thugs who care about nothing but themselves. Will they pay the price if caught ?? I doubt it. Sad beyond belief.

[bainbrig]

Kvalidir is right.

The awful murder of a defenceless man is the only important point.

It might, however, be instructive to examine the deterioration in social cohesion in the past 40 years, and to wonder whether a generation raised on the ‘principles’ of every man for himself (sic) (“There is no such thing as society”) might not have some culpability in our current uncaring wasteland.
