SERIAL FAILURE...
What SORT of justice do we have here in Britain where we can allow the following to happen?
A serial rapist murdered a young mother in front of her baby son just days after being bailed over another sex attack. Crack cocaine addict Christopher Braithwaite, 22, was arrested for a rape in August last year but was released the next day. He killed 23-year- old Stacey Westbury a week later.
The Old Bailey heard that Braithwaite, who had been at school with Stacey, sexually attacked her before killing her. Her father Ken found her body 18 hours later, with her face bloodied and bruised from repeated punches. She had been strangled and stabbed in the neck, stomach and right hand with a nine-inch blade. Her son was still in his cot, while his mother’s body lay on the sofa yards away. After the killing, jobless Braithwaite had tried to wash the blood from Stacey’s naked corpse, before ransacking her flat trying to find anything he could sell for drugs.
This guy SHOULD face execution for this horrendous murder and those fools who determined that he could be set free so he could then carry out such an awful crime SACKED.

If he was a serial raper as you say he never should have been released from prison. I mean never. Tragic.
Another appalling failure of the system. But there are so many. It's obvious that the system is no longer prioritised towards protecting the public. Instead, the "human rights" of the perps take priority.
There will be an enquiry. Which is all that ever happens.
Can the filth who ensured Braithwaite's release to commit this horrendous crime not be held accountable? How does one ensure that the sequence of events and those who drove such events be stated for public record?
