I'm not making any excuses for this guy, just that this is almost inevitable gievn the background:

It is a shame that the innocents of society so often reap the results of the acts of the wicked and uncaring.

I think this is one of the first times I've felt sad for a person who has murdered, but I believe he does belong in jail. His father deserves much worse than his son is getting.

I was raised in a loving family and just can't wrap my thoughts around a such uncaring people like this.

I was co-incidentally reading about this today as it was linked to the Beebs story about the Unicef report. Some people are just broken.

His own dad didnt even like him. He was obviously a POS from the getgo.

Piece of **** from the start of his life? No way Shirley. We are born empty and are formed as we grow by those/that around us. That's why we are much like our parents, cus they've been around us so much and that during our most shapeful years.
His dad was a total idiot, that's why he did those things. He probably didn't have a good and loving upbringing him self, and in his human inadequacy doesn't see his own wrongdoings.

That young man needs help, not inprisonment, and to be tought right and wrong by some people with a ****load more psychological knowledge than his father had. Inprisonment isn't going to make him a better person, only more alienated in those 30 years to come and later to be set free as a more effed up person, with even less to lose, than he is now. What will he not commit then if he did those things he did now?

No such thing as personal responsibility in your world I guess. Seriously, his regret now is certainly some proof of knowing that what he did was wrong.

Shoot why is it his father's fault? I mean he certainly had to have had as crappy a life to bring up a son like that. Or maybe its his mother's fault for not being stronger and standing up to the father and making life better for her son.

In the end its a sad story but I find this much sadder

Ruth Okechukwu, 18, was murdered after being repeatedly knifed in a 'cold-blooded' gang attack. She suffered wounds to the wrist, hand, throat and fatally to the heart.

"We were so proud of her and the way she would give her all to everything she did. Last year she volunteered at a children's nursery in Brixton just because she wanted to help out.

"She was very kind and patient and this is devastating to us that she will never achieve all she wanted to achieve in life."

And even sadder

Zainab Kalokoh, 33, was shot in the head while she held a relative's six-month-old daughter at the child's christening party. The victim had come to south London from war-torn Sierra Leone for a "peaceful, violence-free" life, the court heard.

"Incredibly, while Zainab Kalokoh lay dying on the floor, members of the gang, seemingly coolly and calmly, made their way around the hall telling the guests to get down and collecting up their valuables," he said.

Everyday people with backgrounds as tragic and horrible as Malasi's walk among us and manage to not murder innocent people.
