I don't usually do this, but this is a really nasty case, so here's a bit of a heads up.

If you're squeamish about really horrible crimes and the like, then I ain't gonna think any less of ya if you want to just Nope out of the thread, because this is one of the few cases in Australia where life effectively means life, which is basically reserved for the most horrible stuff.



'I hope they broke a lot of bones': Anita Cobby's widower celebrates the savage bashing of one of her killers in jail - and says he wants to give the inmates who dealt the beating 'a bottle of Champagne'

The widower of murdered nurse Anita Cobby has celebrated the news one of her killers, Gary Murphy, was brutally bashed by fellow inmates on Tuesday.

John Cobby said he wanted to thank the inmates involved in the attack, and hopes Murphy 'broke a lot of bones'.
'I'd like to know who they are so I can buy them a bottle of Champagne,' Mr Cobby told the Daily Telegraph.
'I'm not one to celebrate people being hurt but in this case I hope they broke a lot of bones.'

The widower was equally rejoiceful earlier this year when Murphy's brother and accomplice, Michael, died after a battle with liver cancer.
'I hope it was painful for him. One down, four to go,' he said in February, referring to his wife's five killers.

Gary Murphy, 61, is now in a critical condition at St Vincent's Hospital, after he was savagely beaten in the prison showers of Long Bay Jail.

Murphy, along with his brothers Michael and Leslie Murphy, and John Travers and Michael Murdoch, were all jailed for life over the murder of 26-year-old Ms Cobby in 1986.

The murder of Ms Cobby shocked Australia after her body was found in a paddock at Prospect in western Sydney.
She had been kidnapped while walking from Blacktown railway station and pack raped. Having been dragged through barbed wire into a paddock, her throat was slit with a knife.

'A 61-year-old inmate from Long Bay Correctional Complex has been transferred to hospital after he was allegedly assaulted around 10.20am today,' Corrective Services NSW said in a statement.
'The incident occurred in 10 wing of area 1 at the Metropolitan Special Programs Centre. A number of possible assailants have been identified.
'Corrective Services NSW is assisting NSW Police with their investigations.'
The Metropolitan Special Programs Centre is currently home to inmates including Michael Guider, the serial paedophile who in 1986 killed nine-year-old schoolgirl Samantha Kinght.

On the night Ms Cobby was abducted, Travers, Murdoch and the Murphy brothers stole a car and got drunk at Doonside.
They then drove to Windsor looking to buy drugs. Michael Murphy later said the group needed money for petrol and they saw Ms Cobby walking down the road.
'We were just going to grab her handbag until John (Travers) said, 'Let's take her with us',' Gary Murphy claimed.

What followed was a sickening sequence of physical and sexual assaults.
Ms Cobby was raped, punched and kicked repeatedly in the car and had a knife held to her throat to stop her screaming.
The group stopped to put petrol before driving to Reen Road at Prospect where the onetime beauty queen was dragged through a barbed wire fence into a paddock and raped again.
Travers cut her throat as Ms Cobby fought to stay alive. Her body was discovered naked and face down, with her eyes still open, in the field two days later.

The five killers were arrested about three weeks after the attack and their capture brought calls for the reintroduction of the death penalty.
Gary Murphy wet himself when he was taken into custody.

Gary, then 28, along with his brothers Michael, 33, Leslie, 22, as well as Murdoch, 19, and Travers, 18 - were convicted of murder and sentenced to life in jail.

The confession of Travers, considered the ringleader of the group, was secretly recorded.
'We were all drunk and she f***ing seen all of us. So I just cut her,' Travers said.

In sentencing the killers Justice Alan Maxwell said: 'This was a calculated killing done in cold blood.'
If any person were ever to consider granting them parole, 'The Executive should grant the same degree of mercy they bestowed on Anita Lorraine Cobby in Mr Reen's boiler paddock on the night of 2 February 1986.'

When Gary's brother Michael died of cancer Ms Cobby's widower John Cobby was delighted.
'I hope it was painful for him,' he told The Daily Telegraph. 'One down, four to go.'

Michael Murphy had been in an out of hospital and had been asked shortly before his death if he would apologise to Ms Cobby's family.
'Why would I f**king apologise to anyone while you b******s leave me in this f**king [hospital] room and treat me like this?' he barked.

Totally deserved. Should have happened years ago. I read a book on it.
 
People like this always leave me with something of a dilemma to address: bullets or rope?

Bullets are remarkably effective, and efficient. However, they're typically a one-time-use item (which, over time, may equate to a greater burden on the taxpayer), and can be messier than rope.

Rope is reusable, and can be employed in many creative ways from hanging by the neck to dragging behind a car. There is a risk that it could snap, though, and that has traditionally meant release for the condemned.

It's a tough question to answer, and I'm not sure there's really a good way to answer it. Having said that, it's pretty clear that these five sick fucks should have been put down in the street and left to rot long ago. Anyone with that little respect for human life does not deserve one of their own.

You'd think so, but no. The drop tables as used in long drop hanging are only accurate with a totally new rope. Once someone's been hanged with it, the strain placed on it permanently stretches it; it undergoes a plastic deformation if you're a physics sperg. The drop tables then aren't accurate and can result in someone being either half-hanged and having to pull on their legs to asphyxiate them, or taking their head off, which people object to.

Option C - Guillotine
 
Since it's Australia, how long until he's arrested for inciting hate against Unwillingly Detained Persons. Such vengeful utterings are rooted in Toxic Masculinity and have no place in an inclusive society that seeks to rehabilitate, not punish.

Guys guys guys, we're not savages.

We invented the guillotine a long time ago.
 
I can't even fathom the torment that man has lived with just as much as I can't imagine the abject horror that poor woman lived through leading up to her death.

And for him - only having these small moments as any semblance of comfort. I don't know how anyone can make their peace knowing their beloved's killers get to live on the govt dime til they croak naturally.

Man..yeah, I just can't put those proverbial shoes on and make it work for me. :( Maybe no one ever really does.

Pretty sure a knife is a happy medium between the two. Sever the right veins and they will be dead in seconds. Also the least dignified way to go, which is the last thing these guys need.

FTFY.

Venous bleeds are middling but it would take a long time to die from one. It just oozes.

Get a suitably sharp knife across the subclavian, femoral, or common carotid arteries, and WHAM! Throw a coin in that fountain! It's pretty safe to say that a severed major artery like that is only survivable if it happens while they're already on an operating table and there's a syringe of heparin and a skilled trauma surgeon within spitting distance.

You'll know you've got it right if the blood that sprays out is the colour of chilli sauce as opposed to wine.

I don't see the problem here.
 
I find this guys attitude refreshing, lots of victims families talk about forgiveness and other gay stuff and this guy is just like "good". Very relatable.
