Does anyone see the ridiculous sentence here? “Life in prison with a minimum term….” If you plan on paroling this “upstanding citizen” then you cannot use the term “life in prison”. It does not qualify and is a misuse of the term. A better more appropriate sentence would be “sometime in the future the family will have to relive this horrible crime when in a short time we decide he is eligible for parole”.

The murderer looked calm and not disheveled at all when he exited the building. His clothes were neat and clean. Not at all the picture of a man who's had a violent fight and ultimately murdered his bloodied victim. Where did he put the victim's bag? He did not have it in his hands, and if it was in his backpack, he must have stopped to dig it out and dump it on the pavement. Did CCTV pick that up? How strange...

[@Faristol7]

@miavos.....Good points you make here...He obviously had time to clean himself up in the men's toilets, and maybe not have been wearing his anorak/overcoat while he was attacking and killing Kathy. If the handbag was placed on top of the computers in the rucksack, it wouldn't have taken him long to pull it out & discard it when he felt he was safe from cameras..🤷Who knows? Disassociation and cool, calculated behaviour is common in these kinds of murders - the psychologist says he wasn't a psychopath, but he sure exhibited the calm and organised behaviour of one after he had committed the crime. (Cleaning himself up, walking down the street normally as though nothing had happened, getting himself an alibi by going to a hospital in a distant area etc.A psychopath would behave like that, so l don't understand why our psychiatrist considered that he wasn't one.

[@melissaharris3389]

Also, being criminally insane is an extremely high bar in UK courts. People with antisocial personality disorders are not, generally, insane in a legal sense. They think, feel, and behave in ways that are purely self-interested and unempathic. He clearly suffers from classic signs of narcissistic personality disorder. Why the interviewed psychologist didn't just say that is strange.

[@fawn06]

Cathy was still young when she was murdered and could have live longer than 26 years so the prison term of 26 years is cheap justice. The murderer was charged less than what he took.

[@ads9449]

File under the category of "Innocent woman triggers INCEL who flies into rage and murders". How typical of the producers to not touch on that, although the woman at the end does provides a somewhat PC version. And, I'm sorry but 26 years to life is not justice. It only possibly prevents the victimization of another woman for around 26 years. He will spend his days being well fed and sheltered and laying in his cell reliving the event and enjoying a little adrenaline rush each time. He may even find some time for a little online dating. Again, not justice.

[@LKre-vi5oq]

Agreed. Why downplay the fact he was an incel at all? It's a huge part of his motive. Deeply troubled, violently misogynistic, and complete losers. RIP, Cathy.

Yesterday I watched American Nightmare on Netflix and tonight I watched this and the difference in police work was striking. The New Scotland Yard employee brilliant police officers who put a lot of thought and techniques into their cases. The Valleyo Police department in California were hopeless. They just seemed lazy and disinterested in doing any kind of investigation. Instead of investigating the crime they just tried to lay all the blame on the husband and his girlfriend. If it hadn’t been a police woman from a different department investigating the kidnapper of the girlfriend on another case it might never have been solved. I’m sure the New Scotland Yard detectives would have done a much better investigation than the Valleyo department

[@melissaharris3389]

It definitely seems they jumped the gun and arrested the first 'suspicious' person they could point a finger at. Most likely because it was such a violent, high profile crime. Having the perpetrator be an acquaintances instead of a random act of violence is more reassuring to the public. As the inspector said, the man who discovered her was likely in shock at the scene. Him not having an immediate alibi and knowing the victim is enough to look into him as a person of interest but he shouldn't have been taken into custody until actual evidence was found. In most serious crime cases if you're actually arrested it's because the police have a significant amount of evidence already incriminating you. Being questioned is normal under these circumstances; being placed into custody is not.

Exactly, seems to be all videos now. I was watching the BBC’s Danger UXB from the 70’s I think and they were defusing unexploded bombs. They either had a drip of water or silence as the sound track for most of it and it couldn’t have been more riveting. It was so well done. They will start putting a sound track to the nightly news soon.

I suffer from sensory overload and if the music's too loud or chaotic I just have to skip the video. Luckily, with this one, it came in fits and starts, but still unsettling.

Only 29 years in jail for murdering an innocent, young woman! Catherine would have been much safer if she stayed in New Zealand. Much aroha to her family

They should of known it was someone who worked there the killer obviously knew the building

I think he panicked then all of his 'I'm a victim' rage came out on the poor girl.

There will never be justice until victims have more rights than criminals.

WORD!

I wish the video's producers would show more respect for our intelligence. There was evidence of a struggle and forensics found the suspect's DNA under the victim's fingernails, and from blood under the desks from which laptops were stolen. The suspect's admitted he was there for the theft, contradicting his previous alibi. All this established, @31:07 "But to build a water-tight case, they need more." Uh, no, that's plenty. The video rightly tells of yet more evidence and I like the factual account showing how well police, forensic labs, and prosecutors handled this case. Thing is, the drawn-out over-dramatization is an insult to their competence, and to viewers of the video.

Poor Catherine...just horrible..

He needed life in prison without parole. Bless her and her family. 🎉

People fall apart but that is no legal reason for this inexcusable action by him

[@cynthiatolman326]

Don't ever call me to check on a mutual friend, they acted as if he'd gone on his own, not he'd been asked to. Their arrest first, ask questions later, has ruined many lives and I think it's 100% wrong. Knowing how rogue UK juries can go, I totally understand the officer's concern. 12 reasonable people get into a jury room and go brain dead, refusing to convict an offender, regardless of the moumtain of evidence given in court against them. It really is mind blowing.
