Can't Understand: '40 Separate Injuries To His Body' = No Intention To Kill Or "wicked Recklessness"

[dervish]

The mother of three-year-old Mikaeel Kular has been jailed for 11 years after she admitted killing her son and hiding his body in a suitcase.

Mikaeel died two days after being beaten by Rosdeep Adekoya, 34, at the family's flat in Edinburgh in January.

She put his body in a suitcase before dumping it behind her sister's house 20 miles away in Kirkcaldy, Fife.

Adekoya originally told police that Mikaeel had disappeared from her home, leading to a major two-day search.

She had been charged with murder, but admitted the reduced charge of culpable homicide(=no intention to kill or "wicked recklessness"... aye fucking right!).

Judge Lord Glennie told Adekoya what she did was "cruel and inexcusable".

He added: "Striking a child even once is bad enough. Striking him heavily and repeatedly with hand and fist when he was being sick again and again simply beggars belief.

"Mikaeel was by all accounts a healthy, happy little boy. By your actions, however unintended, you have not only robbed Mikaeel of his young life but left a gaping hole in the lives of all who loved him."

Lord Glennie said he accepted Adekoya's remorse was genuine and heartfelt.

'Difficult to understand'

He said: "You are clearly an intelligent and articulate young woman.

"There is no history of violence by you towards any of your children. That makes it all the more difficult to understand your actions.

"I do not suppose that you really understand why you did what you did."

Adekoya, who was wearing glasses, a black cardigan and burgundy jeans, cried and wiped away tears throughout her court appearance.

She had admitted wrapping Mikaeel's body in a duvet cover, putting it in a suitcase and driving to Dunvegan Avenue in Kirkcaldy, Fife, where she hid the case under a bush in woods behind a house.

Adekoya, who had a history of depression and attempted suicide in 2001, had called 999 to report her son missing to police.

She told officers he got out of bed and climbed on a stool to unlock the front door of his home.

Mikaeel died on the night of Tuesday 14 January from injuries inflicted the previous Sunday.

The final cause of death was found to be "blunt force abdominal trauma".

Mikaeel had more than 40 separate injuries to his body, including bruises to his back, chin and cheek, trauma to the brain, haemorrhage in the spinal cord and injuries to his arms.

Adekoya pleaded guilty to repeatedly punching her son and causing his body to hit against a hard object or inflicting blunt injuries on his head and body between 12 and 15 January at their home in Ferry Gait Crescent in the Drylaw area of the city.

 

What in the actual fuck kind of verdict is that?

[chief_wiggum]

Fucking nonsence verdict, if she was a bloke they would have thrown away the key!

WYOWYN?

Probs, but I'd make especially sure she didn't enjoy it.

11 years is a disgrace.

Sometimes it's really, really hard to be against the death penalty.

The verdict and sentence is a disgrace. And of course, she will be out in just 5 or 6 years in reality (jail sentences are only half of the senenced amount, if the prisoner behaves).

 

The problem is that the courts are not there to dispense justice, but rather to manage the prison population downward.

 

Our justice system has no credibility - similarly to this case, knife murders are often reduced in seriousness to culpable homicide, despite the attacker choosing to arm themselves with a knife, carry it about their person in public and then brandish it at a person before plunging it into their body several times.

 

Apparently thats "an accident" that is. Absolute pish. But then what else should we expect from lawer-types and their hangers on? Its a professional full of despicable toads like Donald Findlay.

I once had a brief conversation with Donald Findlay at the Horn cafe, we were both en route to Ibrox, that's a little known fact. That and the bacon rolls there are expensive.
