Unfortunate, but hardly newsworthy. No deterent means this is routine. Murder in the first degree only gets you seven years in most EU countries.

Eventually some government is going to have to stand up and say 'Life means LIFE'. Prison may not rehabilitate, but it sure stops them killing another innocent.

Arthur, Newcastle,

This is inevitable when you haven't got the backdrop of Capital Punishment.

I wonder how many more innocent people will be condemed to death in the future because we have not got this deterrent.

To add insult to injury, taxpayers will have to keep this murdering parasite for the rest of his life.

I agree with Elida. Discipline is first and foremost for kids. Parents need to set boundaries because kids need it, and they respect it. When parents started sending their children on "time-outs" for bad behavior is when society started going down! Whatever happened to the good 'ol spanking?!

Why is this Country so full of sick teenagers ?. Because they have been neglected for so long by society and allowed to do what they wish ,when they wish. Bring back the birch in the town square and then see how they behave ! Plus bring back cane into schools and make them wear a FULL uniform.

Sad to say, but thanks to OPEC and greedy oil co's, more decent law abiding citizens will be using mass transit and if the authorities don't intervene they will be subjected to the weak and beggarly elements of society!

As adults we get the children we deserve.

the number of times i have caught a bus & been forced to listen to foul language, loud "music", people chucking rubbish around on the bus, drinking alcohol, eating smelly food - but if you do ask them to stop you are subjected to verbal abuse. why don't the drivers do something about it?

People like them don't deserve to be in this Country, they need to be locked up because they are dangerous and intrusive to any community.

Killers RULE IN THE UK> Feel sorry for the ordinary folks who are forced to use public transport in the UK.Having been in similar positions myself whilst visiting Britain I was shocked and disgusted by the dangerous antics allowed on trains and buses.Will not be visiting anytime soon,no pleasure

Unfortunately we have the same problems here in Spain... EU should do a bit more than sinking our domestic economies.

Samuel, Gijón, Spain

In my opinion parents have a lot to answer for in relation to the way children, young adults react to being challenged with regards to bad behaviour. There is no respect and this starts in the home. I think humanity has lost its way, everything goes in this new society. Shame on us!

Elida Uriarte, Reading, UK

This must resonate with thousands of bus and rail passengers across the country. Now, the next time we are unfortunate to find ourselves beside or in front of foul-mouthed yobs we know to keep quiet........lest we be killed.

Yob rule, Britain! Thank you Brown, Cameron, Clegg and other left-liberals

Myles, Glasgow,

Another tragic loss of innocent life by young thugs make me think that we have a great vacuum of moral authority and respect for humanity, we have to change our education system and set moral standards which are acceptable to all particularly to young people.
