This is one from my high school:
news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4775276.stm

You probably heard about it on the news at the time. Turns out the kid who killed him was a total sociopathic loner, who tried to have sex with him before he stabbed him to death with a kitchen knife. Whitehead park is directly behind my grandma's house. Apparently one of the neighbours saw the kid dragging a wheelie bin with his corpse in it across the field, although she didn't know it contained a dead body. She was going to go and confront him about it thinking he'd stolen it from one of the houses.

First time I heard about this, it was shocking, but I couldn't help but feel like it was only a matter of time before something like this happened, knowing some of the people that went to my high school...

My old best friend went to prison for stamping on a guys head 127 times (they counted in the cctv) putting him in a coma to the point where he had to learn how to walk again. How he wasn't killed I don't know..

Another lad I knew went to prison for armed robbery two years after we graduated.

The physics teacher was sentenced to life imprisonment for stabbing an 80 year old man to death with a screwdriver, and got another 10 year sentence on to of that for the attempted murder of a 16 year old lad that tried to intervene...

So the Joe Geeling thing... awful, but strangely unsurprising. They actually took my cousin to the police station about this, as he was one of his friends, they were in the same form. The police never told him why he was there either, nor would they let his mum sit in the interview room with him, the cruel bastards. He had nightmares for months cos he thought he was being arrested for his murder.
I fucking hate the Bury police. I fucking hate Bury...
