A former soccer coach in Great Britain faces a life prison sentence after he was found guilty Tuesday of murdering a young model who named her killer with her dying words.

Amy Leigh Barnes, 19, dialed the British emergency line as she lay fatally injured from multiple stab wounds inflicted with a kitchen knife by her violent boyfriend, Ricardo Morrison.

After the slaying, he fled from the house where the couple were living to his mother’s home in Birmingham, England, where she allowed him to wash his bloodstained clothes.

You know, when couples live together before marriage it often doesn’t work out.

The aspiring actress, who had represented Britain in beauty pageants and had posed for both Playboy and Cosmopolitan magazines, told an emergency operator: “I can’t breathe. I’ve been stabbed. Please help me. I’m dying. He’s stabbed me to death.” Asked who had attacked her, she replied: “My boyfriend... I’m going... I can’t see.”

Obama: She msut be miscalibrating her words, accusing a black man of a crime.

The perp was already known for abusing women. His mother apparently is a police officer and aided him in covering up the crime but won’t go to prison for it.

The guy in the picture in post #3 committed no crime. He’s a soccer player in England. I myself am no fan of the young celebrity party life, but I don’t think that guy deserves to be associated with the vicious killer.

If there truly was justice, they would both be strung up.

Summary execution is not always a bad thing.

A real bice fellow.

Ricardo Morrison had a history of violence against women. In February of 2005 he was convicted of assault for locking his then girlfriend in a car after grabbing her by the throat and biting her on the face. Two months later he attacked her again, biting her on the face and punching her.

Then, weeks before murdering Amy Leigh the couple was out at a club celebrating. A group of girls were using a private booth, and he blocked their entrance. The ladies asked him to move, and he punched two of the girls in the face and head butted another

He can do all that.....and yet, if you were to punch him for his obnoxious activities, you would be charged with a hate crime.

I also read in another British newspaper that the perp's mother was a policewoman. She apparently had no idea he'd killed anyone (right) and was acquitted of aiding and abetting or whatever the charge is there.

Not too far off, if the current trend is any indicator-
license to blacks to commit crime, and making saying/doing anything about it a crime.

Sentences in Britain are notoriously light. He probably won’t serve more than 10 years.

Several years ago, a group of “chavs” (uniquely Brit delinquents) beat up two NY lawyers in London. The male lawyer had broken ribs and jaw; his assailant served about three months.

When I was living in Britain, in the 80’s, a woman was found murdered near my in-laws home. All the evidence pointed to her husband but the jury's verdict? Misadventure. It WAS pointed out in the trial that she had been nagging him. He walked free.

Why do some women seek out men who treat them like crap?

It isnt like she didnt know what he was like.

IMO she should qualify for a Darwin award.
