kangeikoIs anyone else following this?
I have no words for just how sick it makes me to even think of it. If he's gearing up for an insanity plea, he's making a good case for it.
(Although it does beg the question - if she was alive when he found her, and was dead when he left her, wouldn't that stand to reason that the assault was what killed her - the stab wounds aside? Even if he wasn't the guy who stabbed her, wouldn't he be just as culpable?)

And the Thames defences are apparently useless against the sort of floods that have been hitting the Severn and other rivers.
Where are we going and why are we in this handbasket?

"unterlassene Hilfeleistung"
The unreasonable failure to come to the assistance of a person in danger.
