Understandably, a lot of the comments here about punishment and retribution. Which I certainly do not disagree with. However another major consideration is doing what it takes to reduce the likelihood of anything like this ever occurring again. We have a subject captive for the next 15 years at least (far too short!!). How about we take this opportunity to study this individual (I cannot bring myself to call him a man or person) to see how his mind works, where it all went wrong, etc. Not as an attempt to rehabilitate him: I never want him out again. But to use him and his kind: Ian Huntley, Peter Sutcliffe, etc. to build up profiles for criminal cases. Also, to recognise symptomns in children and youths at a much earlier stage. Then they can be stopped from developing into such evil monsters.

Wow, and you Liberals call the U.S. death penalty cruel and unusual punishment? The only thing the death penalty prevents is a repeat offense. Unfortunately we have death row full of perverts, however they have a slim chance of ever getting the needle. Too bad!

Unbelievable says it all….skin him alive…leave him in that dungeon with just enough to keep him alive and how about getting beaten and raped as the added treat for the rest of his life? He needs to know what it is like to scream until you are hoarse, in the dark and to be tethered to a pole like he did to Elisabeth.
No light for him ever…just the TV in the dungeon…oh and make sure he can never stand up straight again..in there. ever.

It does not matter what they do to him because he already had his life. Since he is 73 years old, how long do you think he is going to live anyway. In his mind he has already gotten away with the crime. Killing him would satisfy most people, but that would be temporary. His victims were his own family, and it would further victimize them to know he was killed by the state. I have thought about what would be a fit punishment for him. But nothing the state does to him could possibly come close to what she suffered. No one could force him to give birth to his own fathers children. People should be thinking about how to help these people lead as normal a life as they can, and there is no way the state, his wife, the police, or anyone could have prevented what happened.

HANG HIM Neuter him, put him in jail for the rest of his life, with no windows, no cell mate, nothing, No TV no radio, he can have a toliet, and sink and bed. Give him his food through a small hole in the door, and that is it. This man is a wicked, evil. Man.
And his daughter Elizabeth is in my prayers. And so are her childern. This is going to take years for her to over come and them too. I pray that she finds a very, very, safe place to live and has no contact with him every again. This man is an animal.

Yes, the photo shows what happened in 1967, accompanies the story appropriate, and is connected with the facts. The photo should not titillate readers. I am very sorry if it hurt your feelings.

IS the photo that accompanies the story appropriate? Is it in any way connected with the facts? Isn’t it just a lurid stock photo designed to titillate readers? Does this online “news” website have any moral standards whatsoever? Are we supposed to be “excited” by a photo of a woman, in no way connected with the story, being attacked by a faceless man? What is the point? Would any decent newspaper present a story in this way? Will you have the guts to comment on this?

Women should choose to dress modestly?!

Again, I have a comment for this “gentleman”.
It has always been amazing for me to listen to certain types of MEN in this world to tell women what to do all the time, because they know so much smarter. This especially comes to mind when I think about the religious fanatics too, but these men that are supposed to be so superior that women have to be told what to do and have to stick to their strict rules and dress certain ways because if what we as women might be causing them to “think” of…. SO in other words, these men can be in control of all the things they want to be in control of because they are so much smarter and better than women, but when it comes to the one thing they don’t want to be in control of, then all of a sudden we women have control over that now?
Marinate on that and get back with us women …..
