Wayne Couzens

They owe it to Sarah and her family to ensure lessons are learnt. The buck stops with Cressida Dick. She should do the decent thing and resign.

Obviously we feel for her parents, but I always wonder what the parents of the abuser feel. They may be perfectly decent people. Can you imagine being the parent of a murderer? Could anything be worse?

Yes, I always wonder about that too. Obviously all sympathy is with the victim's family, and rightly so, but just imagine what life must be like now for Couzens' wife, children, parents, siblings. The effects of these dreadful crimes ripple through many people and very few people will have sympathy for the family of the perpetrator, many choosing instead to make life even worse for them as if it isn't beyond bad now.

Am I alone in feeling uncomfortable that Couzens is wished ill in prison? Reading such comments makes me feel uneasy.

His punishment has been metered out. It is severe. He will never be allowed out of prison. He will die in there. He has no hope of parole. Surely that is enough? None of us can imagine the loss of our freedoms in this harshest of ways.

Excellent post Urmstongran.

I agree Urmstongran
