        He wanted to die years ago. I'm glad he was kept alive & locked up, why should he be allowed to take the easy way out? Make him suffer.

        50 year in prison costing £50K per year = £2.5 million. Money from all our pockets. Could so easily have been spent in better ways.

        Then there's Peter Sutcliffe, Ian Huntley, it's a long list. That 3 foot rope could save us 10's of millions.
