In this case the charges are, premeditated murder,attempted murder and conspiracy to kill.

In the Louise Jensen case the charges WERE kidnap, conspiracy to rape and MURDER reduced early on to manslaughter because of the difficulty of showing planning whilst drunk. With sentences reduced on appeal, the last of that 3 were released last week after serving less than half their 25 years.

Would nt you guys be better off turning the trial and sentencing, for these latest 3, over to the English (who are also legally entitled to prosecute them) to avoid another travesty like that?

Over here at least a JURY can use its commonsense to decide whether its murder or manslaughter? eg. "I didnt mean to kill him judge i was drunk!"

Does the fact that the person killed was Cypriot and not Danish mean you will be less keen to let them out of jail quickly to send them back to the UK at the earliest opportunity?

Are Cypriot lives worth more (prison time) than others?

be interesting to see the outcome... ukofamnesia, you have given me food for thought.. good points there..

Maybe it would be better if Nick (Loophole) Freeman got the case thrown -out on a technicality in the Cypriot court. Then we could have a Jury trial in England, as we ve got extraterritorial juristiction over them.

If convicted, they might even do a bit more prison time than they would in your country! What do yo think?

The murder was premeditated, they stalked her, raped her and killed her, they weren't so drunk to do that!

They should have served the full life tariff! At times like this a return to the death penalty appears attractive. They are a disgrace to Britain and its armed forces. As a Brit all I can only say is I'm sorry!

I hope they carry this shame to their graves.

As a Brit i m also sorry.

I wish i could say they would have done at least twice as much prison time if they d been convicted in Britain but i doubt thats true.

Societies like Cyprus and Britain that value innocent life so cheaply are headed rapidly to hell in a handcart if you ask me.
