Time to start executing some people

Truly ghastly and proof of how bloody dangerous our cities can be.

I’m not a death penalty fan, but the perpetrator of this needs a bit of Iraqi justice - ie, bullet in head.


A man who was fatally stabbed at a London bus stop last night was taking his three-year-old daughter to hospital to meet her newborn brother, it emerged today.

The 26-year-old victim, who has not been named, is thought to have been attacked after becoming involved in an argument with another man in London Road, west Croydon, shortly after 6.15pm.

He was taken by ambulance to Mayday Hospital, in Croydon, where he was pronounced dead less than an hour later.

A 22-year-old man arrested on suspicion of murder remains in custody at a south London police station.

The detective leading the investigation described the circumstances of the murder as "particularly tragic".

Detective Chief Inspector Cliff Lyons said: "This was a shocking attack in a public place in the early evening.

"The victim's three year-old daughter was with him when he was attacked, though fortunately she wasn't physically injured.

"Even more tragically, his partner had given birth to a son just that morning."
