Murderer writes poem about killing of Rossendale man (From Lancashire Telegraph)

l would not publish such drivel,from a convicted murderer, whats she after, sick publicity ? let her rot in jail and throw away the key,,

When she penned this, am sure that others convinced her to have it submitted for publication, as it exposes her innermost thoughts, penned in an earnest way.
It is raw, unpolished and not desirous of sympathy from anyone. As a piece of work, it stands, as it does, worthy of critique, in it's own right. That LT choses to publish it here, shows a certain degree of insensitivity to the family, friends and others of the victim involved. Designed, I suppose, to attract negative commentary but..
It doesn't seek sympathy for the wrong done, does it?
It doesn't beg for forgiveness?
Or even, for understanding, unless you are prepared to read it two or three times, to get to the nub of it all.
It contains no rancour but espouses a love, that was misplaced in that man.
A sadness, for times loved and lost.

If this were France, which I freely admit it's not, it recounts a crime passionnel, with all of it's connotations.

Prison used to be called penitentiaries, where people could think about the crime that they had done. Does this not stand, on that merit, where you think about what you have done? I think it does, in full measure, and then some.
No mention about her children, more of what she has done and the guilt that she feels. It ends with the lack of light at the end of her tunnel. Are we, as human beings, so vengeful that we cannot give her some small glimmer of hope that, in spite of all, there is redemption, someday?
I truly hope that someone working with her, has the eyes to see that she regrets her mistake and that they, with an ounce of compassion, are able to move her onwards to a better life, some day.

Whilst I'm noted for kicking anything on legs, I never, ever, kicked anyone, when they were down, it's just not the done thing in my book and therefore appeal to the better 'man' within you, on this occaision, to have a little heart and find within you, that spirit of compassion, to forgive her.

No, am not related to anyone, I was just touched by such an outpouring, as you are now touched by mine.
It's only words..

This should not have been published how must his family feel, Shame on The Telegraph for printing such disgusting rubbish.

At no point does this poem detail the victim's last hours. It just gives an insight into how she felt in the time leading up to her carrying out the crime - the couple of sentences on the home page make no sense whatsoever!

Another example of LT sensationalising their own stories to suck you in, then none of that having any alignment with the actual story.

As a standalone offence I could perhaps see this as a crime of passion. But the article says she also asked to poison another partner with anti-freeze. Taken together these are surely the actions of a dangerous psychopath.

Im not sure because the way you read it makes sense, but I think she asked the other boyfriend if she could poison this one with anti-freeze.

As for the Telegraph publishing it I dont see any problem.

Rot in hell you sick twisted waste of oxygen and taxpayers money

L.E.T you are a total and utter disgrace to journalism. Giving a convicted murderer sensational publicity for what purpose?

Would you have published such a poem if it had been written by Jonathan Vass ? Of course you wouldn't, so why publish this ?

Did you even consider the feelings of the victims family?

So you don't see a problem with a newspaper giving publicity to a poem written by a convicted murderer? Do you think the victims family will be over joyed that the person that murdered their lived one is having a poem published and therefore giving her a platform to perform on?

If you can't see what's wrong with it then you are without question an idiot sir.

Totally agree, what a disgrace LET, she cold blooded murderd the man for god sake she deserves to rot in hell,what does she want ? Sympathy of the public eh, we'll sorry she ain't gunna get it , she's sat there in prison trying to justify herself for murder,writing a pathetic poem to make it look like she's innocent,for gods sake LET are you that desperate for a story line of a murderer, what about the feeling of this guys poor family and what he went through, it's no wonder this newspaper a load of crap and doesn't sell much anymore.

Shame on the LET for giving this sicko a platform. Is there really nothing better to write about?

Thats your opinion and you are welcome to it, just as others are welcome to have an opinion. The job of a newspaper is to report things, an example of which might be Shebby's lies which seem to occur most times he opens his mouth, do you stop reporting what he says because people dont agree with it?
If you dont want to read it dont read it..

This is a murderer without any remorse looking for pity having her say about her crime, Her victim has no voice I'm disgusted that the Telegraph would print this item they should have had more thought for his family
