Girl, 15, held in murder inquiry

Post by appleton »

A 15-year-old girl has been arrested on suspicion of stabbing a teenage mother to death in a fight between two gangs.

Three people are now being held in connection with the death of Samantha Madgin, 18, including a woman in her 20s and a man in his 30s.

Ms Madgin was stabbed a mile from her home in an alley near Victoria Avenue and Albert Avenue, Wallsend, Tyneside and later died from her injuries.

A Northumbria Police spokesman said further arrests were anticipated.Girl, 15, held in murder inquiry

It won't be long before 9 year olds are involved in murder investigations.

Wow.... :( Here in the US we've already had incidences of 10 year olds shooting other kids at school. Isolated occurrences of course, but it still shows how quickly the moral character of kids is decreasing in Western cultures.

It has already happened, just very rare. However, this very famous murder isn't far off those ages.

It is an example of the times we live in. The streets are full, I mean absolutely full of "lifers". People who have been given "life" sentences.

Even if you kill your own mother with an axe in her own bed, well you can expect to serve only 2/3 of you 18 year sentence. Well, actually even only 11 in this guy's case.

This guy was sentenced today. What more can you ask for in a murder case? A premeditated act of fetching the axe, taking it upstairs and then raising it up and hitting a woman in her own bed. Ok, he was drunk, but to be honest I don't care.

There have been younger children that were murders-

NEW YORK — A 9-year-old girl fatally stabbed an 11-year-old girl in the chest with a steak knife during a fight over a ball, authorities said

2006-Cook County, Illinois home of this year's youngest murderer, a three-year-old left by his mother in a friend's welfare apartment with the friend's two daughters, a three-week-old and a two-year-old. The boy smashed the two-year-old's head in and left bite marks on the baby.

This is what happens when authorities take parental rights to discipline their children away and remove any mention of religion out of daily life and schools.

I agree there. Remove morality and you remove restraints.
