Cut Throat Killer Gets Life

It boggles the mind to think that this prostitute murdering goon was at large for three years before the police got their act together to arrest the moron. We have a sneaking suspicion that all that high tech crap from the CSI shows has yet to wing its way to Bolton in Northern England.

After arguing about the price for sex, Stuart Milsted battered five months pregnant Danielle Moorcroft with a brick and a bottle back in June 2002.

He then left his asthma inhaler at the scene which lead the police right to him - 28 months later.

Bright spark Milsted then eluded the police just hours after a DNA test, left a confession and then hid in a park.

Search and Rescue teams (WTF? I've been to Bolton - it's not the outback) subsequently spotted him, but Milsted had one last trick up his sleeve to escape the SLOW crawl of justice. He cut his own throat.

Alas he even made a hash of that and survived to be sentenced this week. Life here in the UK means he'll serve no less than 11 years.

That may seem a relatively light sentence, but frankly it's a miracle such a moron got this far and I predict death in a Darwin Awards style prison mishap before the end of the year.
