Pregnant lady's stomach stamped on - Peckham

[oryx]

Absolutely horrific. The last news of the poor woman was that she is in intensive care. I hope she makes it and gets some justice for herself and her unborn child.

 

[BigMoaner]

horrifying.

And some justice - both "men" guilty - the father of "child destruction" & max sentence is life ...

Heard the lady on the radio today. Heartbreaking. So fucking unnecessary. What possesses some people?

 

[moomoo]

Jesus.

 

[Throbbing Angel]

sickening

 

[Glitter]

I'm so glad I missed this thread at the time. What an awful story.

 

[StoneRoad]

What may be worse, is I read somewhere that he's got another lady pregnant ... this is a "man" who claims not ready to be a father - then he should use contraception !
Hope that he and the accomplice get suitably severe (long) dose of porridge.

Having been found guilty of child destruction and causing grievous bodily harm, Kevin Wilson of Stansfield House, Longfield Estate, Bermondsey, and a 17 year old accomplice who cannot yet be named, will be sentenced at the Old Bailey in February 2016.​

 

[BigMoaner]

Life sentence please.

 

[LeslieB]

Dreadful crime.

So have I understood this correctly? This carries a sentence of 'up to' life , rather than the mandatory life you get for murder?

Yep.

Would be surprised in this case if it is not given the same severity as all out murder though, The intent was to cause serious harm to the woman and to the baby, the baby died. That's the test for murder on a person who has been born anyway.

 

[GarveyLives]

This should attract double figure minimum terms - preferably not less than a figure beginning with a "2". Reporting restrictions should also be lifted so that the identity of the killer who cannot yet be named is revealed.

sentenced today - life (at least 16 years)

not sure if that is long enough ?
hope that the other inmates express suitable disapproval of his behaviour.

 

[BigMoaner]

Could be out in eight then?

 

[StoneRoad]

my reading that it is to serve a min of 16 yrs

no.

Well you could argue nothing is long enough, but it's a substantial sentence, and 16 years is the absolute minimum he will serve- after that he will be on licence for the rest of his life.

Bigmoaner: no, with a life sentence the tariff is an absolute minimum, there is no further deduction for good behaviour.....

Yep. It's in the region of most sentences for murder.

 

[BigMoaner]

16 years is about right. Anything less no. With that sort of crime, he'll be looking over his shoulder for the whole stretch too.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

With that sort of crime, he'll be looking over his shoulder for the whole stretch too.

Not exactly the sort of crime you could be proud of, is it.

Man who killed his unborn baby during attack loses appeal against life sentence (click for more)

His sentence should have been increased.​

 

[StoneRoad]

That scum and his accomplice should have got the "whole life" tariff for such a pre-mediated attempted murder.
And their assets confiscated, and paid to the victim as compensation, and if she is unable to work - PTSD or ? - then his "prison earnings" should also be sent to her.
His "new" partner has got off extremely lightly with a record of behaviour like that, and I feel very sorry for her.
