Poor Leslie. What she went through was like something out of a horror movie.

[@Rainy-In-The-Desert]

Thank you for your hard work! Happy listening, y'all! 😘

[@sukijay4990]

All the victims were needlessly killed by that monster, but my heart particularly hurts for poor Leslie Whittle. She underwent pure torture. I was a teenager when this happened and I have often thought of her suffering terrified and alone in that underground hellhole while I was happily living my life. I hope that monster suffered in jail.

[@fredajordan5704]

Suki Jay. I so much agree, this is why I don`t believer in any religion.

[@1man_crowd]

It's a fascinating case. Chilling to behold how little he cared about human life in general. Thanks a lot for the upload. 👍🏻

[@cathymcglasson6947]

I must say you do your research good job.

[@AnnabelleJARankin]

I remember it so well - I knew it was Lesley Whittle you were referring to in the title.

[@xxx...pyxidis]

why was he named after a beautiful cat... humans are the worst animals

[@marya4652]

Hi. Im iranian and agree with you.... My comment is that everyone must be Smart to Protect her.... 😊❤️

[@stuartkeithguitars4251]

I wonder what differentiates a minor or major kidnapping.

[@djquinn11]

The age and rank of the kidnapping victim.

[@PennyPaws4]

The amount of $ the victim is worth.

[@fredajordan5704]

@@PennyPaws4 Thank you!

[@gingerr9004]

Probably how much publicity it gets… which is usually due to money or status in society. Super messed up considering any kidnapping is tragic and should be considered a major offense. I have full custody of my daughter, just because someone is related to a child does NOT make it minor. The only ‘good’ that can come from a major/highly covered kidnapping is new laws, hopefully putting creeps in jail, and hopefully some change in how it’s dealt with. If none of them were considered minor, and everyone who kidnapped someone got life or worse… well who knows maybe kids could even play outside again like we got to 💔

[@Mookayla]

Bit too much emphasis put on his stature, I reckon. Plenty of short men out there not killing people!

[@Mookayla]

5'6 isn't even THAT short come to think of it

[@Komediennekymd2009]

Exactly.. Same for men with overbearing mothers or abusive fathers. We always make excuses for sick SOBs. Tons of ppl have had horrible childhoods & don't turn out to be sadistic killers.

[@blacksapphirerain]

So called “small man syndrome” seems to be more emphasis in the UK, where we barely consider this a factor in the US at all. I don’t know if it’s real (a cultural emphasis that becomes real) or just something blamed. Most short men don’t end up with Napoleon syndrome-they’re perfectly secure and without anger issues.

[@tarabourgeois5807]

What a tragic kidnapping story.

[@Komediennekymd2009]

U would think he was 4'11 or something! Smh

[@suegoulding1341]

I remember this case... just can't watch this video just too upsetting. Poor little girl how she suffered.

[@mssramsunker4820]

thank God I read your comment, so I wont continue to view further :-(

[@fredajordan5704]

There are so many subhumans on this earth...And still after a monster like him gets cought, he (they) will not get DP, incomprehensible to me. Btw break ins / home invasions should be punished much harsher too, cz. often they go very wrong and leave innocent victims behind. The law certaily is on the side of the criminals.

[@jamesb.9155]

Neilson died imprisoned on Dec 18, 2011.

[@berits.2346]

With a little help?

[@universeearth5141]

A good narrator

[@honorladone8682]

? for 10 years! Yeah everyone has free will. If you're going to do the crime you better have the time. Philadelphia USA

[@judithsullivan9703]

It just didn't seem absolutely necessary to murder during the post office robberies, but once he went around that corner there was no coming back.

[@Chihayamoon]

Thee woman there in on it and some of the the woman killed the other woman

[@anajonda]

"The First Major Kidnapping Case In The UK"..??? What about Muriel McKay?

[@blacksapphirerain]

Invariably, when they say things like that, it’s an exaggeration to try to add emphasis to the crime. They’re trying to explain that the crime had a great cultural relevance, but miss the mark.

[@baronmeduse]

We can go a very long way back in UK history to find the the first major kidnapping.

[@karmayt8956]

The belief that immigrants get what citizens have to work for generations is a world wide belief, true or not. It is actually a consequence of population. The solution is political and not violence. The solution is understanding for both the native and immigrants.

[@jah_kim]

Am from Kenya, are you sure this miscreant soldier did not leave a murky trail here?😅😅😅😅

[@blacksapphirerain]

He might have, given his nasty nature, and it was ignored/discounted/unreported. It wouldn’t surprise me.

[@fayegabby6295]

Yoo.... you mean this person served in my country Kenya???!!!! Lord that’s bone chilling, knowing Serial monsters from other parts of the world have been to my country..We already have our own to deal with now we got to look out for international Serial bad people.... whew child!!

[@berits.2346]

He wasn't a monster yet when he was innKenia. At least, nothing's reportet

[@dereksmith4177]

What has immigrants got to do with this story? Are you sure your commenting on the right story?

[@daviddevlogger]

Second

[@rayjasmantas9609]

Could the nickname be leads to international connections as the Black Panthers of Chicago by signs as the black neighborhood would be too dangerous during the 60s into the 70s for a mailman or utility worker to feel safe in to do the daily work? (And note, the recruiting of the foreign legends in the US up front quickly state the the enlistments means you might have to go through several fights with your copartners for the type of people wanting to go to other countries to assist with legal support.)

[@teresaeckhardt8954]

HE IS REALLYYY GOOD LOOKING..

[@jamesb.9155]

A lot of those guys get married to women who like their looks and don't give a damn what he did to all those people. Interesting.

[@berits.2346]

Proof that you should never judge a book by its cover

[@baronmeduse]

Oh be quiet. He doesn't look too clever at 38:40 with his faced smashed in.

[@tankthearc9875]

racist to call him the black panther

[@anniepepperdorian2318]

I seriously doubt that the feline species are bothered at all by it.🤔

[@Mbhjjjkghh]

Racist in your sick mind hahaha such a stupid comment.

[@CHARLIE.S1K]

🤦🏼‍♂️
