Emotions still raw after mystifying death of Bobbi-Anne McLeod
Cody Ackland’s snatching of 18-year-old from Plymouth street left family and police shocked and confused
the photo of him in the article really caught me off guard because of how “normal” he looks - you see guys like that everywhere, just completely average. it sounds like a completely spontaneous act too; the detail of her headphones and tobacco being left on the pavement because he’d grabbed her with such force is devastating.Yeah it makes sense, i think cause Birmingham live have been doing the live court transcripts it makes you realise how badly he was failed. Poor boy. Waking up with an asthma attack and going outside for air because he couldn’t wake his mum and then dying. He had a grim life.

The ones where people are missing a while before being found dead tend to get a lot of interest, because the story is built up over days.
What made it sadder for me was reading one of the articles today saying he was known to social services, someone (a nurse I think) had said they were really concerned and thought he was at serious risk of death that weekend (presumably from neglect/ because they knew his asthma was bad and his mum was too off her face on drugs to sort it out) but they decided to leave it til the following week and in the meantime he died. So they had the chance to save him - or at least make sure he was somewhere safe and had a good chance of getting help if he had an attack - and failed
Yes I've been reading this. I'm bloody glad he was done for murder, he was clearly teeing it up for an insanity defence but I'm glad he didn't get away with it. Judging by the reports I read, even before this incident he was a nasty bastard who made loads of threats including telling the wife (of the guy he killed) he'd have her raped. When the police tried to investigate he said all the neighbours were racists and bullying him because he was Turkish. hole.Has anyone else here followed this case of a problem neighbour turning homicidal?

Absolutely horrifying. Another tragedy that could potentially have been foreseen.Has anyone else here followed this case of a problem neighbour turning homicidal?

i think of this one often after seeing it in this thread - the fact that their children were in the house and (apparently) all over parking.
I guess on some level, murders of women by men are so commonplace there just isn’t enough room in the public consciousness to make an outcry about every one.
This happened near me, not something that you’d expect round here. I think it must be coming to trial soon.
That's so odd. Sounds like something from a Midsomer Murders or similar, especially where there are several possible events that could have caused her death, some mystery bloke seen shaking her etc.
