Brothers jailed for murdering their own grandfather

To me this is as shocking as the jamie bulger case yet its harldy seen the news? why is that? do old people not count or isnt it news cause the killers where young black youths? something in the uk media / public perception is very very wrong here..

Two men who "showed no mercy" to their own grandfather as they tortured him in south London have been jailed for life for his murder.

Paul Peters, 76, was assaulted with fists, feet, bottles and furniture over a two-year spell by half-brothers Wayne Edwards, 33, and Anton Sanderson, 24.

Mr Peters half-naked body was found on the kitchen floor of his Battersea flat on 22 May 2009, the Old Bailey heard.

Edwards and Sanderson were both jailed for a minimum of 20 years.

the reason it isn't as big a story as the Bulgers is that they weren't 10

another case of social service and police ignorance wasn't it?

should have left all the racist shit up.

shocking story, on par with those 2 tramps who murderd those French students round Oval way.

Probably did not make the news because worse shit happens everywhere in the UK.

Why has my post been deleted?

There was clear irony in what I said, and nothing to take offence at.

cool, cant read vocal tone. I did not report your posts by the way. freedom of speech n all that.

Dont know how this wasnt more widely reported I agree, it doesnt get much lower than torturing your own grandad.
