  • The headline is about sexual assault and attempted murder, yet the article says more about the taxi robbery. Hope he’s punished severely

  • Hope that he is severely dealt with and not the slap on the wrist minimum sentence that seems to be handed out these days.
    However my greatest thoughts and feelings are for the young girl. Do hope she will be given the counselling she needs to cope with life going forward.
