Nice !.........Does this happen in Brisbane?
 
Man dies after being 'beheaded'

A man has died after he was partially beheaded in a street in north-west London, police said.
The man, aged in his 60s, was attacked at 0930 GMT on Monday in Eton Avenue, Swiss Cottage.

Reports say an axe was used in the attack but this has not been confirmed by Scotland Yard.

One man, aged in his 30s, was arrested nearby and is in custody at Holborn Police Station. The area has been sealed off for forensic examinations.

Scotland Yard said they were called to reports of a "serious assault in progress" and on arrival found the victim who was already dead.


Anything like this go on in Brisbane ?. I know there are gangs....but blimey.

No doubt a complete nutter let out on some liberal re-integration to the community scheme !.........surely not drugs related...the guy was in his 60's.

Have known of Grannys in their 60s pushing drugs so wouldn't assume that it wouldn't be drugs related !
I'm a CPN based in Brent, NW London , it's frightening how common these types of horrific crimes are, loads of them don't even make the news :(

I hate it when people say stuff like that.
You get psychopaths everywhere, it's not unique to Britain you know!!
Even in lovely peaceful Canada you get serial killers and lunatics.
Flaming Nora! :rolleyes:

Media demonisation of the mentally ill, most are more likely to harm themselves.
Fingers crossed it's not one of my patients ;) :)

My exclamation mark was intended to represent a pun. Dave Allen would probably have made a joke about such things. I didn't mean to observe how good or bad our care services are for those people that need it.

I think we could really do with a large "ironic" smilie. Life would become so much more relaxed ;)

Totally agree. You can be totally sane and still be a serial killer.

I am not usually one to do this, but given that it shocked me so much, I thought it was worth posting. I am certainly not making any indication that I think OZ is worse (or in fact better) than the UK, more that sh1t happens everywhere

Are you sure.......can you provide examples of serial killers that are sane ?
I would have thought that it is a requirement to be mad to be a serial killer, but then I could be bonkers myself ;) :D :D
