A ‘Close, Successful Family’..?

A 20-year-old criminology student with a fascination for knives has been found guilty of stabbing a woman to death on a Dorset beach after spending months plotting the attack and quizzing university lecturers about how a killer would get away with murder.

Another wrong 'un who shouldn't be in the country, one may think? Oh, perish the thought!

Saadi, who is from a close, successful family who live in suburban south London, had no previous convictions and the prosecution suggested he had carried out the killing because he wanted to achieve notoriety as the star of a real-life crime drama he had directed.

I'm not sure why that's relevant, or why it's a reason he shouldn't be deported to his country of origin on release. Which will probably come far too soon. 

It can now be reported that he harboured strong misogynistic views, repeatedly telling fellow students at the University of Greenwich that women were weaker than men and should not work in certain jobs.

Pretty mainstream opinion in his country of origin, and one for which those of his heritage seemingly get a pass on from feminists. The same feminists who clamoured for more female judges to ensure crimes against women were treated seriously by the judiciary. 

How's that going, ladies?

The judge, Mrs Justice Cutts, told Saadi: “You have been convicted of the most serious of crimes.” She said he would be jailed for life with a minimum term of “considerable length”. She said: “He is a young man, I think 21 years next week. He is a young man who may have autistic spectrum disorder.”

And may not. May just be a typical product of his heritage.  

The judge said she would seek information from a neurodevelopment specialist before sentencing. The judge added: “It seems to me it is my duty to find out as much as I can about him.” Sentencing was adjourned until 28 March.

It's not 'your duty' to fall for every bogus excuse proffered by the defence, is it?
