Have you ever known someone who turned out to be a murderer?

I went to school with someone who stabbed someone to death!
Got into a heated argument after a night out and it escalated.
She claimed self defence and didn't go down. She spent a year inside waiting for trail.
She was always a dick head at school so wasnt supprised when it all came out!
Leicester?

Doesn’t rhyme with trade plant but yes about two years ago!! Maybe a coincidence 🤷‍♀️😂
Ok, I think I know who you are talking about. Do they go by 3 names?

Sorry both just found this thread and realised how old these are!

I once visited a web page dedicated to women who have been murdered and their murderers not getting appropriate sentences because the killings were downgraded due to their partner blaming sex games gone wrong. All UK.

It is an extremely common excuse that works a treat, apparently.
The ‘rough sex’ mitigation- it’s utter bullshit, and have literally been using it to get away with murder. Our legal system is so patriarchal.
Here are the poor souls, it’s a tough read : https://wecantconsenttothis.uk/

Yes but that’s for another time. I did however go down the rabbit hole of the sex offenders register recently and found that far too many on the list were teachers. In all seriousness, it’s worth looking at your local area, I feel not enough people use it.
I found this ... https://www.ibbclaims.co.uk/site/services/child-abuse-and-trafficking/convicted-offenders/ thats a list of all of those with convictions that have been in the media
Very shocking and especially the short sentences most have occurred

My old school head of year turned out to be a paedophile, and the local reverend, who lived about 100m from my house, was stabbed by his son. Our next door neighbours were pretty dodgy and their eldest son set their house on fire while they were asleep, everyone got out thankfully.

I didn't know either of them but in 2016 my then next-door-neighbour's other next-door-neighbour beat his eight month pregnant fiancé, then stabbed her in the head and stomach before jumping out of a window. He ended up getting 21 years for attempted murder but at the trial six months later the doctors said it was 'virtually impossible' for her to ever wake up from her coma. Luckily the doctors were able to perform a c-section and save the child who went to live with her parents.

I didn't notice anything suspicious before that night and I didn't hear anything on the night until he jumped but the saddest part was that it said at the trial that multiple neighbours had heard him screaming and attacking her for an hour before he eventually stabbed her but nobody called the police.

I can't understand people who turn a blind eye. I'm one of those people who always says something and it will most probably get me stabbed some day.

Was this in east London?

I’m the same & the world we live in it will probably be our biggest downfall but I could never turn a blind eye or just sit there and do nothing it’s not how I was made 😑

I don’t know any murderers but sickeningly I appear to know/crossed paths with a people who ended up on the register.
My friend at college befriended a boy who I always had a niggling feeling about but couldn’t quite put my finger on why, three months later he had taken his laptop to get fixed and they found child porn.
But then I also know it’s not the stereotypical “weirdos” you have to watch, the salt of the earth, do anything for anyone types can hide their true selves.

I trained as a nurse years ago and spent two months at a psychiatric hospital during my training. The hospital had a bar/social club and we took our patients there. I was dancing innocently with one of the patients before I was told by a staff nurse not get the patient too excited as ”he’d killed a man with his bare hands”.

I knew a boy a few years below me at primary school as we were in after-school club together, was such a horrid little tit back then, I hated him. About 7 years ago he went down for murdering his grandmother whilst on M-Cat.

This one is definitely a looser connection - my old teaching assistant at the same primary school was the mother of a girl who went missing, there was a massive man-hunt for her. The boyfriend who initially reported her missing eventually confessed to strangling her and dumping her body in an unmarked grave in a wood about 70 miles from their home. He couldn't even remember exactly where it was.
I've just looked into the case and they suspected him when he did a TV appeal and noticed scratches on his hands and analysed his body language. Looks like his sentence is due to finish this year which is crazy.
