My thought as well but evil or mentally ill, either way he is obviously a danger to the public.  I can see him ending up in Broadmoor like Ian Brady - at least that way he is unlikely to ever taste freedom again.


My thoughts exactly. There is a fine line between being a 'normal' criminal and being criminally insane, but I wonder why he isn't immediately being sectioned and committed to Broadmoor.

 

This case is only having so much publicity because of who the victim was, and that shouldn't determine the sentence. If he had killed a member of an opposing gang, as most teenage murderers do, it wouldn't be headline news.
