Wouldn't be surprised if went to the UK to fulfil his predatory sex addiction and has been raping guys since he arrived and getting more arrogant about it because he was never caught - really came across as thinking what he did was totally normal, wanted a boyfriend my arse
Saying he just wants to go home but never did was just BS
Hope his visa is annulled and sent back home where repercussions will be a bit more serious for him
I think deportation is probably guaranteed after he has served his sentence.
Another new episode this Monday at 9pm, continued on Tuesday.

Like another poster said, mid way thru thought he's gonna get away with this, glad he went down, no chance he'll leave on own accord to go home,
they wont be as tolerant of his sexuality back home, where'd he say Iraq?, as usual some great police work, I'll try catch the other new episode this week
That was a brilliant double episode. Really fcuked up how such a minor pub fight led to what happened.
Also, you'd wonder how the guy arrested in the first episode ended up doing 3 months in jail before they realised they had the wrong guy.
we really need to see some of those sentences being dished out and served here, way to soft on sentencing here ! thought evidence was not super strong but i can see how a jury would convict ( I would)
Really hits you to see those sentences. Two men killed and two other men sent down for life.
Shows how a few drinks and a scuffle can lead to such destruction for all four and their families.
When the read out the letter the stabber had wrote to his grandparents, it genuinely hits you. The man has ruined his own life and killed two others because he couldn't control his aggression. It would make you want to ban alcohol.
Looking at the CCTV footage, there was a lot more than alcohol being consumed - by all of them I'd wager
I thought the sentencing was a little harsh given the circumstances that kicked it all off in the pub, it was one of the victims who initiated things. 38 years and 34 without parole, something like 14 and 18 years would have been more fitting given neither of them set out to murder that day and the car driver was likely feeling under threat with all the people around him at the time.
The victims were each stabbed multiple times. The guy who survived was stabbed 8 times. One of the men killed wasn't even in the pub for the row. The intent to kill was very clear.
Yes, heavy sentences. 38 and 34yrs which must be served before applying /consideration for parole. Their lives are effectively over.
I enjoyed the monologues from the young detective who had studied psychology. The suspect with the kid that had to go into care was a total psyco with narcistic traits intrigued, but did not fool him.
Stone cold on the murder facts and footage but gets upset when his actions are impacting him personally, then laughing and joking with his solicitor after feigning upset over graphic video evidence.
He then had the neck to say the custody officer, "yes bail me" after he was charged with murder.
It was all about him. He has 34 yrs me time now. Sorry the other guy arrested with him had to spend 3 months in jail. He must have been charged.with something, as they could not have detained him otherwise. I thought he was going down when he was recorded saying to the other guy through the walls something like " they can't prove we murdered anyone bruv"
There was something really weird about the story chronology of the guy you are talking about in your last paragraph, Curtis Long.
In the show it looked as if he was arrested, interviewed, and something during the course of his 24 Hours in Police Custody the police came to the conclusion that whilst he was at the scene, he didn't do any stabbing and it wasn't his car that drove over the victim. And thus he got released. We definitely saw no clip of excited police officers awaiting direction from the CPS, or him being brought to the custody desk to have the CPS decision and charges read to him. Stuff they are always eager to show.
But a little big of googling shows that he was actually charged with murder Three men appear in court over double stabbing murder in Houghton Regis | ITV News Anglia so the whole 'police quickly coming to the conclusion that he was innocent' stuff we saw was actually months later. Hence the reference at the end to 3 months on remand.
Interestingly the link above references another person charged with murder, Mark Griffiths. We saw no mention of him at any stage, no interview etc. It may have been a personal decision of his (Mark Griffiths) for his arrest/interviews/charge not to appear on the show given he ultimately was not brought to trial. Whereas Curtis Long chose differently for his own reasons. But I think it's clear that the show took a few liberties with how exactly they portrayed Curtis's time in the station.
This explains it I think pretty well
Why do suspects agree to appear on camera for 24 Hours in Police Custody? | Radio Times
Related show on channel 4, to catch a copper first episode well worth a watch.
There's an old episode on channel 4+1 at 10 tonight which is well worth a watch.
Another great show that I don't know how I missed that would be definitely of interest to peeps here - Forensics: The Real CSI - BBC2 (couldn't find anything with search here)
Yes watched the last series, it was great. The repeat of last Sundays show goes out again on Thursday at 11.15pm on BBC2, then on Sundays the show is on at 9pm on BBC2 and 10.50pm on BBC2NIRL.
New episode Wednesday this week (5th June, C4, 9PM).
Was actually scheduled for tonight, so anyone who uses series-link might double check their EPG picks it up. Think it got pushed back the extra 24 hours (😀) to avoid the first Sunak v Starmer debate.
An unusual ending to last nights new episode.
I won't spoil it but it looked like it was going to be a 2 parter right til the last minute.
Yeah - not as good as usual
New episode Monday…
A tough watch last night (I went and watched the 2nd part on the player too). Certainly wouldn't be taking a trip to the town of Wisbech any time soon, looked like a bleak place.
Without spoiling it for anybody, it did seem to me that this show was aired to take a bit of the heat off the police for their initial investigation.
The homeowner who had 75 CCTV cameras on his house must have been a new record 😂.
I'm still trying to get my head around the mate of the lady who was murdered, the wee man that lived across the road. He kept saying 'she was very house proud' and that he had to take his shoes off when he went into her house. The house looked like Beirut.
Such depressing and short lives some people have.
That is some grim place - those people looked many many years older than they were, so much despair in one tiny village
I couldn't believe the guy who died in prison was only 45.
New episodes this Monday at 9pm (nov 25th)!
New episode tonight. Interesting as usual.
Knew something very off with the ex right from the start... odd the messages started just after the split up...
Not wanting to hand over the phone was a very clear indication.
He is utterly delusional, playing the victim...still...scary, would worry about any future partner.
Something said i found very chilling
When he said "my next girlfriend will be my last"
