Age is no barrier to murder. It should be no barrier to naming the murderer

What about the murderers (possible) wee sister? Does she deserve the attention she`d receive? Or the grannie? Or his classmates at school?

You`ve read a tabloid, right? You know how they behave.

What difference would it make knowing who he is? The people around there, those genuinely affected by this, will know.

This reminds me a bit of the Jamie Bulger case, where some people were effortlessly able to make that mental flip from:

Killing a child is the worst thing anyone could possibly do

to:

Kill the children

The universe is ruled by chance and indifference

I think it`s the law that`s an erse.

The legal protection for 16 year old offenders being named isn`t to protect their family, it is to protect them isn`t it?

If I murder at 18 and my sister is 13 or my granny is a nice lady should that prevent me from being named?

Folk need to be accountable for their actions, particularly when it results in taking someone`s life. If you can`t tell by 16 that stabbing someone to death isn`t the right way to behave then chuck away the key.

Oh aye let’s name him then sit back and watch the carnage unfold as a direct result his younger siblings bullied to the point where they feel the only way to escape it is by taking their own life that’s ok though right because the wee scumbag should have thought about that or better yet some lunatic takes matters into their own hands and fire bombs his parents house or grandparents house in an act of revenge killing the kin the process who cares though eh they are related to a murderer so probably deserve it right

in short take yourself to **** ya daft auld goat

So, like Ipswich said, should that anonymity apply to offenders of all ages?

And although my eyes were open
They just might as well be closed

I`m no legal expert but presumably there are valid reasons why this particular law is in place. Perhaps someone with genuine knowledge and understanding of it can explain for us as all I`ve read on this thread so far is conjecture and supposition.

The Jamie Bulger case was mentioned further up. Did the judge not make an exception then and named his killers, even though they were only 11 or 12 at the time?

Will this boy not be named if/when he is convicted of the crime he is accused of? It`s difficult to believe it wasn`t premeditated, or did he habitually walk around with a knife in his pocket? All will come out at the trial, meanwhile let`s all calm down and not turn this thread into the pages of a rabid tabloid.

https://www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance/reporting-restrictions-children-and-young-people-victims-witnesses-and-defendants

Some good info on the logic behind decisions on here. It`s worth noting that the anonymity isn`t always to protect the accused (although it often is), it can also be to protect the identities of victims and potential witnesses (its one thing a few locals knowing its another having full national media attention).

Personally I`d prefer to see anonymity for all persons of all ages involved in trials of a serious nature up until a verdict has been reached.

If someone is guilty they could have their details released assuming there are no other reasons to withhold the info but if they were not guilty there should be the right to continued anonymity as accusations can stick and ruin folks lives.

Sometimes the police though want to name the suspect as it can lead to more evidence being gathered and more victims coming forward. I`m sure that`s what happened with scumbag taxi rapist John Warboys and will have happened with many other cases.
On a slightly wider outlook though how would we feel about the police arresting people of any age, even then detaining them until trial, and as would then be standard the press being unable to publish the accused`s details?

“then lets hang him by the neck until dead

No apologies if that sounds extreme “

This whole debate here began with these words. ‘IF that sounds extreme’ - well it is extreme and downright wrong on a number of levels.

(a) The crime was only committed on Friday, and we are at the stage of a charge - not a trial, far less a conviction.
(b) The person who has been taken into custody is 16 years of age. Even in the days when capital punishment held sway (no pun intended), 16 year olds were never hanged. Look at the case of Craig and Bentley from the early 1950s. The killer was 16 while his mentally subnormal partner in crime was 19. The hanging of this lad did much to advance the case for abolition.

I can’t accept the death penalty in any circumstance I’m afraid - I’m a husband and father and I don’t want killers on the loose any more than anyone else, but let’s have a trial with adequate representation on both sides. If the accused’s guilt is then established then they deserve all the opprobrium that is heaped on them.
Others here have put the case for withholding details at this stage, and I agree with them wholeheartedly.

To be very fair to Buspasspar - from their subsequent posts on this thread it`s clear that the first couple of posts from last night were written in the heat of the moment, and they`ve obviously realised this.

I`m sure we`ve all said or written things in anger that we would later come to regret, so on that I`m willing to cut BPP a little slack.

The old cliche of two wrongs don`t make a right would seem to apply here - the crime is clearly a heinous one, but as has been mentioned above - we are at the stage of someone being charged with, not convicted of it. It`s not for us (or indeed, society) to act as judge, jury or executioner.

Passions run high with this sort of thing though - it`s a very tricky, sensitive subject.

Thanks for that Ormiston Par

It was a very much heat of the moment thing and I have e-mailed Wotsit and apologised to him .. also on here

I sometimes jump in too quick without thinking

I was just so mad that a young 16 year old has had her life ended who still had her whole life ahead of her

She is the same age as my Granddaughter

Goodness knows what her parents are going through

Sorry again to all those I upset

Also the case with David Carrick. The original rape charge was dropped, but by that time another victim had come forward having heard about the first case, and - thankfully - the second one (and many subsequent charges) stuck.
