Kyle Clifford ought to have been dragged to court docket — who cares if he is in a wheelchair? | UK | News | EUROtoday

Why was the animal that’s Kyle Clifford allowed to cover away from court docket when the choose was handing him THREE life sentences for the slaughter of his ex-girlfriend, Louise Hunt, her sister Hannah and their mum Carol? Why was this satan in human kind allowed to languish in his cell whereas heartbroken John Hunt, husband of Carol and father to these two lovely ladies, learn out a intestine wrenching assertion the place he instructed Clifford about his damaged life and stated: “There will be no release for you. The screams of Hell, I can hear them now. The red carpet will come out for you.”

Why was Clifford, now paralysed after making an attempt, unsuccessfully, to kill himself after the murders, not compelled to look into the eyes of John Hunt and see his deadened soul, his tortured thoughts, his vacancy and his damaged coronary heart which has been shattered into so many items its unlikely he’ll ever have the ability to put it collectively once more. Why wasn’t John Hunt allowed to make this psychopath perceive what he has taken from him?

If I’d had my manner I’d have dragged Clifford into court docket – screaming if want be. Because who cares what he desires, what he looks like. Who cares if he’s in a wheelchair. He put himself there when, just like the coward he’s, he tried to kill himself after the murders.

This grotesque human being selected to do one thing that’s past evil but he has by no means correctly been made to confront it.

And due to that Clifford has forfeited the best to make decisions about something. So why was he allowed to cover from people who find themselves left of the household he destroyed? Why was he allowed to dodge his second of reckoning, the second he was publicly branded the freak and the monster he’s.

Mr Justice Joel Bannathan had beforehand instructed the court docket he’d thought of forcing Clifford right into a room with a video hyperlink at Belmarsh however was frightened he’d use the chance to disrupt proceedings.

I’m sorry however a video hyperlink is one other a cop-out. And how may Clifford have disrupted proceedings? He’s disabled and in a wheelchair and incapable of injuring anybody. All he can now could be scream and shout and rail on the world. And if he did that in court docket then there ought to have been guards on strand by to gag him.

And don’t inform me that might be degrading as a result of degradation is the very least Clifford deserves after what he’s performed. Those poor ladies will need to have felt degraded and terrified when he was brutalising them within the moments earlier than their loss of life.

Poor Louise will need to have felt degraded when he was raping her proper after he’d killed her mom. What Clifford did that horrible day means he’s not entitled to be handled like a human being or to be afforded their rights or decisions. He’s an animal but he WAS given a alternative about whether or not or to not seem in court docket.

And he isn’t the one one. Axel Rudakubana, the Southport killer, averted having to face his victims’ households whereas being sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court for repeatedly shouting. He too ought to have been gagged.

And restrained and compelled to face there and take heed to the households of these little ladies.

Thomas Cashman, the gunman who killed nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel as he chased a drug vendor didn’t seem in court docket for sentence.

Lucy Letby, who’d murdered seven infants and tried to kill seven extra, was absent from her sentencing.

Jordan McSweeney, who killed regulation graduate Zara Aleena, 35, as she walked residence from an evening out in 2022 was excused from showing in court docket.

So these large courageous killers are powerful sufficient to take lives when no-one is trying but too cowardly to face the households they’ve torn aside.

Why does our justice system continually put the wants of criminals earlier than the wants of their victims? If the household of somebody who has been murdered desires the killer in court docket then that’s the place they need to be — no argument.

Because if that helps them come to phrases with what’s occurred that’s all that issues. No-one cares how the killers really feel or what they need and it ought to by no means be a consideration. And but in our justice system it’s.

Downing Street this week blasted the “cowardly killers who skulk in their cells too afraid to face justice” however stated new laws forcing them to take action will likely be a part of Labour’s Victims, Courts and Public Protection Bill.

Well, it had higher be. This should not be extra large, grand standing empty speak from Starmer. The Bill says cheap power can be utilized to get killers to court docket in the event that they refuse to come back.

To Hell with that — any power crucial needs to be used to tug brutal killers into court docket. There needs to be no hiding place from the grief and anger of their victims.
