Kenneth Erskine has won his appeal and his conviction has been amended to manslaughter due to diminished responsibility (he is judged to have been severely schizophrenic at the time he was murdering pensioners).

BBC website has more details and promises more details soon.

Thank you for commenting. All comments are moderated so it may be a short while before you see your comment on the blog. I will keep back some comments relating to the current Seyi murder trial until it is over, as it is not appropriate to assume guilt until we have a guilty verdict. I know this is painful to some people who have taken the trouble to comment, but I ask you to be patient.
