The right verdict

Like many, I am so relieved that the jury didn’t fall for the lies from Grace Millane’s killer. They correctly found him guilty of murder, not manslaughter.

It was awful that we had to hear details of her online dating preferences etc. Bad enough to be killed, but also to have your life laid bare.

There is a world of difference between safe and consensual breath play in sex, and strangling someone until they are firstly unconscious and then dead.

Now the verdict is in, the media can report the background of the murderer. He appears to be a pathological liar to say the least. I think the jury can rest easy that they didn’t fall for his lies.

Without trying to be a psychologist, there is obviously something wrong with the man. His behaviour after he killed Grace was beyond disturbing.

May this verdict bring some closure to Grace’s family and friends. It won’t heal them, but at least the trial is over, and her killed will be sentenced to life imprisonment.
