Sad to hear. Strange that it can happen ... what went wrong? Really hope that a very careful investigation takes off.

They have named the piece of waste material that is the suspect in the murder.

Mr De Zoysa, 23, from Norbury, who is thought to have shot himself, is critically ill in hospital.

I'd save the tax payer thousands in medical and legal fees and potentially millions in incarceration fees and let him die.

Another man has been arrested on suspicion of supplying a firearm.

If found guilty, a long prison sentence should ensue.

What is the penalty scale for a serious violent crime against officials in the UK who are found guilty in this case?

Thankfully now were out of the EU he wont be able to get his conviction overturned and claim a right to family life in the ECHR.

Quite happy with the judicial system tbh. Life means life but the judge (the people my issues lie with) then set the minimum term which in some cases has been as little as seven years

Higher in this country as expected. In many cases, 18 years applies ... also for people in the legal system, there are cases where the person has been sitting "for life", which I think should apply. Many courts are drenched in communist ideology and offer rebates or some get away with forensic psychiatric care.
