I know it is unchristian but is it poetic justice that Couzens is apparently seriously ill in Durham prison suffering from Covid - the excuse he used to stop Sarah Everard who he subsequently raped and murdered?

I dont want that either I would hate to become a person like that. It certainly wont help Sarah Everard or her family. I think it's a way of making ourselves feel better but not sure that's what the aim should be.

Sorry that wasnt referring to old womans post rather to those wishing him harm at the hands of other prisoners.

I have just read that he isn't actually that ill, just isolating in his cell.

I think most of us want him to survive to serve his full sentence amongst prisoners who want to make his life hell.

I won't shed any tears if he drops dead but nor do I want the law of the jungle in our prisons.

Over the years any number of prisoners e.g. Sutcliffe have been physically attacked even murdered - in all cases I'm sure the attacker would have had a long history of violent crimes.

Other brutes making 'his life hell' serves no purpose, certainly not for the prison staff.

Haven’t seen anything in the news about this which I would have expected had he been seriously ill?

He committed a heinous crime, took the life of a beautiful young girl and destroyed her family. He set back trust in the police for a generation or more. He destroyed the life of his own family.
I don’t really care if he lives or dies but I don’t want to be in the front row with my knitting at the gallows.

Good post, LauraNorderr

I don’t really care if he lives or dies
That's how I feel too, if he dies good riddance, if he lives I hope he has a miserable life.

Nothing will bring Sarah back.

I remember when West killed himself when in custody awaiting trial, cheating justice.

I agree, this sounds like lynch mob language.

My only thought is that I hope what he did torments him every second for the rest of his miserable life.
I have zero compassion for him or anyone else who’s committed a heinous crime.
