Luke Mitchell: The Devil's Own?

BBC NEWS | UK | Scotland | Luke Mitchell: The Devil's Own?

I read about this case a lot at the time and I always found the lack of hard evidence linking Mitchell to the killing a bit strange. It had a whiff of the West Memphis 3 situation to me, everything in the press concerned his interest in Marilyn Manson, devil worship, etc, but there was never any reference to actual DNA evidence, murder weapon being linked to Mitchell, etc.

I am with you there. It seemed as though there was a lot of things were beginning to blow out of proportion. If he had it in him to do it, surely his girlfriend would've had some suspiscion and told someone. At least that's what I think.

Yup, was never convinced about this one, same with the Jill Dando thing.

The fact that the Police took a year or something to even charge Mitchell gave an idea of how little actual evidence there was, it was all circumstancial.

And I'm quite partial to a bit or Marilyn Manson myself.

I also never was convinced on the topic. I know plenty of gentle slipknot fans and I hardly say that an interest in the devil is unusual for a 14 year old - no more unusual than becoming obsessed with aliens etc as a youth.

Apparently there was no DNA linked evidence supporting his conviction.

I hope nothing dodgy happens near my house, I own CD's by Marilyn Manson, Black Sabbath, even a Charles Manson one. I also own several DVD's of so-called video nasties, have books about the Manson case and have tattoos and large knives in the kitchen. I'd be f**ked.....

...and I once sat next to someone who's cousin had seen "Child's Play". It's a miracle that I've been able to restrain myself....

It's the Salem Witchhunt mentality.

You're not wrong there.

I watched I Spit On Your Grave and Driller Killer as a kid in my neighbour's house. It didn't turn me in to a murdering sex fiend with a fettish for Bosch and Black & Decker hardware.

On a serious note I watched the Frontlline Scotland report on Wednesday night and I'm convinced the wrong man has been imprisoned.
