Makes Phillpott look like Mary Poppins yet it never appeared on the news.

The case has had quite a bit of coverage up here, Sainty.
It was on the news up here constantly.
Hmmm it seems soooo shocking that it would justify national coverage - if for no reason to alert people to these vile creatures.
Morning to you both 
It seems odd wot is chosen for us to see/hear
Not meaning to be morbid - but in the light of the furore over Phillpott - its amazing such things pass by.
I remember seeing this very very briefly but still shocking

Anyone recall it?
omg that's horrible 
Apologises for the upsetting info - i was only wishing to highlight how some things are given huge importance and yet others are almost disregarded.
It is strange that it hasn't been covered in the mainstream media - it should be! Seems strange that it's classed as a local news item, I thought cases like that (murder etc) were always big news items.
Mind you, I knew someone who's son was murdered and I don't think that made 'big news' either 
It's reported here, so maybe it got more coverage than I thought?
That's really shocking 
I guess things like that do go on with little national coverage - she crossed the wrong people and paid a dreadful price for it.
It's just not the same as six innocent children killed by their parents - that's more than shocking IMO.
A distant cousin of mine went missing - he was found later - decapitated in the woods - it didn't make 'national news' - he was messing with an ex girl friend who had got into 'really' bad company. These things happen quite a lot with little coverage I think.
Really sickening, read about it in The Guardian I think. The poor poor woman
Maybe the media concentrates on one outrage at a time? The Philpott thing was flavour of the month with its connotations. Also an awful case.
They're everywhere.
And they should be executed.
If they wanna play god let the state do the same.
Or full life.
How about this one saint?
A woman has been accused of killing five members of the same family by deliberately starting a fire in a row over a neighbour's pushchair.
