There's a good documentary on the iplayer about that, and also a really good podcast. Strange the Channel 5 synopsis doesn't mention the massive miscarriage of justice involved.

definitely recommend the iPlayer documentary (basically I always look the a BBC version before Channel 5!
) Its a tragic story for all involved.
Letitia Stauch has been giving the finger to witnesses in court, woman has no shame.
Lilia Valutyte: Man accused of girl's murder in Lincolnshire unfit to stand trial, says judge — Sky News
A man accused of murdering a nine-year-old girl last summer has been declared unfit for trial.
I don’t really get this. Does it mean the killer was deemed insane?
Does it mean he isn't well enough to contribute to his own defence?
Something seriously wrong with her brain (psychopath?). Her brother seemed absolutely devastated… like a normal human

It basically means he's too unwell to contribute to his trial meaningfully and not fit to enter a plea. He probably won't attend his trial but he can do - Oddesa Carey, who killed her mother, did and was shouting from the dock that her mother was still alive.
We'll no doubt get to find out more about why and what his diagnosis is during his trial of the facts. I'm guessing an indefinite hospital order will be the result.
However, it does irritate me when people think that this is somehow "getting away with it" when what our focus actually needs to be on is why these mentally people are in the community free to harm innocent people. Focus on why the system is failing them and their victims so badly.
I'm not saying we should go back to the old days of just institutionalising everyone, far from it, but, in the last three months alone, I have followed at least five to ten cases where mentally ill people have killed their parents, grandparents, strangers and there have usually been numerous warning signs.
We HAVE to do better.

EDIT - Odessa not Oddesa.

I don’t disagree with you. But it’s rare that anyone would get more than a telling off. Terrible.
I'm not saying there isn't good reason, God he must be evil to the core and very mentally damaged /unstable to do what he did. Just feels like he will get off very lightly considering he stabbed a child in the chest and ripped apart a family. Least the public will be safe.

Honestly, I'm of the (seemingly rare) opinion that nothing less than a torturous death for child killers will suffice, so to me not going to prison and instead going to a secure hospital does seem a twisted escape of justice to me, and I won't change my mind on that one!
Really shocked that he has been named and pictured. (Who stabbed thomasz in gateshead) I am also really shocked that the girl who was with him got away with it.

I drive past where it happened daily. It’s so sad. The kid who has done it though, he does not look wired up correctly to me. I know you shouldn’t judge someone on appearance alone but he literally doesn’t look right.
I thought exactly the same, he looks like a complete psychopath imo. His mam was acting completely normal on facebook after it happened.
He looks to me like he was born with Foetal Alcohol Syndrome, so I'm suspecting a damaged background
Foetal alcohol syndrome springs to mind
What makes you say this?
I can see what you mean now you’ve pointed it out.
Edited to see you beat me to it
Totally. I imagine more will come out about his background.
