Hope it was excruciatingly painful

I would imagine this will one of those cases where he will cremated on a government facility, as what happened with Ian Brady and the Manchester Bomber. No funeral director be they privately owned or a PLC will take the funeral on.

Bishop was one of those cases which really strengthened the argument for the return of the Death Penalty in certain circumstances , I’ve always been against it because of Police corruption/ineptitude, we would have hung The Birmingham Six, The Guildford Four, The Bridgewater Three and numerous others before retrospectively saying there had been a mistake. But with the exception of Jesus Christ you can’t resurrect individuals.

Bowel cancer that spread to his brain apparently, didn't have far to travel then. Hope he suffered.

I’m really pleased that he spent all those years rotting in prison having to face the terror of what he did every day along with the realisation that he’d never be a free man. How depressing. This is much better than him being put out of his misery like you might do to a pet you love to prevent it from being in pain.

Totally agree.

Far worse to be a nonce in high security, knowing you’ll never get out, hated by everyone inside and out, always looking over your shoulder. Execution is a short time of terror, and then nothing.

Keep them alive as long as possible.

Fair point Hugo, but on the flip side had we hung him, and the likes of Huntley etc the public money spent on keeping them could have gone on better causes?

Brighton factually.....

Trouble is a warped mind, has no normal consciousness or guilt.....
You should not be surprised that these kind of people, feel they have been unjustly incarcerated and walk about as though nothing untoward has happened.

I am for the death penalty in his case, waste of tax payers money keeping him alive.
The only saving grace is hopefully he was denied any drugs whilst suffering from brain cancer, but that would be unethical and I would guess he was as high as a kite most of the time and felt no pain, unjustly might I add.

Hasn’t it been shown in the States that it is more expensive to execute a criminal than imprison them for life.

I don’t know if it is still the case , but once appeals etc are factored in, it’s just cheaper to lock them up and throw away the key. I don’t think it’s a deterrent either, how many criminals go out and commit any crime thinking “ I’m going to get caught for certain “?

Cancer apparantly, so hopefully it was really painful.

Somehow it doesn't feel right, the news of his death sharing space on this website alongside the sad announcements of all the wonderful people we have lost over the years. Perhaps we should have a separate sub forum - like the Coronavirus sub forum, or the Bear Pit - for announcements like this.

If a name is required for it, my nomination would be The Cess Pit.

He was said to be "devastated" by the original diagnosis in October so he probably suffered a few months of self pitying torment.

Not sure what he originally thought he had to look forward to before the diagnosis to cause his devastation at the diagnosis.
