What is interesting in this horrifically sad case is the fact that the two girls seem to haver got off scot free, I only hope that their involvement in this haunts them for the rest of their lives.

Not just this one, AOG....and will these girls be haunted? I somehow doubt it.

The Engineer would appear to be another victim of our drug-based culture.

The sad thinng is this lowlife will be out on the streets, probably in about 6 years. Life should mean life.

And taking more drugs again TTT !

They seem to have been spectators. And they were underage age. What offence do you think they may have committed?

[gness]

Would common intent apply, Gromit?

Not quite 'just a spectator' then.

If so then why not use the iPhone to call Plod?
