    If only he would have killed himself 10 years earlier.

    I doubt this will bring any comfort or closure to his victims.

    Just one less person to keep locked up for the Americans.

    Dunno how he was able to actually do it.. surely he was on some type of suicide watch? Sentenced to 1000 years yet they can't even keep him alive for one.

    I don't get why he pleaded out to avoid the death penalty, only to kill himself a month later. Surely he could kill himself as easily on death row as not?

    I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark and say that I think the guy who killed himself after taking 3 girls hostage for a decade may not have been the most stable mentally. So he may not have thought the whole thing through.

    Wish all the best for the 3 girls.

    4 girls, there was a child too.

    Glad the sicko is dead.

    Seems to me that the bleeding heart liberal tendency tend to think of US prisons as being a harsh regime? A type of severe punishment compared to Western European jails.

    Whilst they appear to be very strict discipline wise & spartan in facilities, they certainly give adequate medical care & food to inmates. It's not as if they are Soviet style gulags or third world prisons with torture chambers.

    Worldwide most political prisoners are held in much worse conditions than this scumbag would have been.

    The only US American prisons that could be called a severe regime for inmates is Guantanamo bay & other camps, but they are not subject to regular US legal law.

    Anyway I've got no sympathy with the gutless coward. Let him hang!!!

    shame on the prison for allowing this, if they found to be negligent in his suicide they basicaly enabled this man escape his punishment ...

    I'm hoping they gave him just enough rope to...

    He shouldn't of been left choose though. It's incredibly negligent on the part of the prison officials for leaving him an option to hang himself.

    Thats right. He shouldn't ...have been.




    Widows pension ??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,342 ✭✭✭fatknacker


    Well I hope his ordeal acts as a detergent to anyone else thinking of doing the same.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 15,824 ✭✭✭✭paddy147




    I wonder how his victims feel??

    Dont forget he also had a young duaghter by 1 of them too.

    I wonder do all of them feel glad hes dead or do they wish he slowly rotted away in jail for the rest of his life???????

    I for one am completely devastated by this tragic news. My thoughts and prayers go out to the mans family.
    I hope we can all respect their right to privacy during this awful time.

    I am crying as I type this.






    That's the correct Boards response, right?

    Do you also have a secret bunker under your house ?

    Think it was a son, can't speak for them but if it were me I'd be happier with the latter. I suspect it will affect them deeply.

    This was my response earlier on the other thread.
    Dirty fcuking scumbag.

    He had no problem torturing the three women that he kidnapped and inflicting horrific abuses and pain and punishments upon them. And when it came to paying for those actions and getting imprisoned which is very mild compared to what he dished out to those three women, he couldn't hack it.

    He's scum

    He shouldn't of been left choose though.
    i'm afraid it doesn't work like that, nothing can be done to stop him choosing the time of his death, if he wants to kill himself theirs nothing the prison authorities can do to stop him, their are many ways to do it and it could only take a split second.
    It's incredibly negligent on the part of the prison officials for leaving him an option to hang himself.
    no it isn't, what do you expect them to do? even if he was on suicide watch theirs no guarintee that he still couldn't pull it off

    I'm very highly educated. I know words, i have the best words, nobody has better words then me.

    Yes. He shouldn't ...have been left choose though.
    Indeed theres nothing the prison authorities could do to stop him, there are many ways to do it.
    Theres no guarantee.
    Oh well, thats their responsibility and they're the ones who should have been there.

    well nobody can stop him from choosing his own death, even on death row it is probably possible to kill oneself.

    The Prison will be in trouble with this. Lifer's in solitary confinement in a max security facility aren't even allowed to have shoelaces, the staples are removed from their magazines. They're also supposed to have round the clock supervision.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,177 ✭✭✭✭Gael23


    May he burn in hell

    Anyone mentioned or thought of his 2 other brothers that were both implicated in the girls kidnappings and rape???

    They were totally innocent of all charges and didnt have anything to do with any of it.

    I wonder how they feel now that their brother Ariel has taken his own life.

    Oh, doesn't get sarcasm.


    I see.


    Continue onward in life you brave little soldier.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,221 ✭✭✭Greentopia


    Well I doubt anyone will shed any tears at his passing except perhaps for family members, but I wonder will the three women feel deprived of the sense of justice being served with him only having spent such a short time incarcerated.

    I hope not. Hopefully it helps brings a sense of closure to the horrible ordeal they went through.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 378 ✭✭Catphish


    He should have equalled the time he held those women and been raped repeatedly with every prison guard turning a blind eye to it. After that he could hang away if he so chose to. Cowardly bastard.
