His previous was nowhere near attempted murder and clearly you do not understand mental health issues that have been building up since he was a kid, they hinted at abuse.
He should be removed but helped, not slammed up for 22 years when last weeks animal got 18.

Thousands more around the country right now.
It must be very tough sometimes to be CID, as he said, he takes it home with him.
Shocking.
