maybe they have been correct to release him from prison (but only if he would have to spend the rest of his life in a mental hospital) i guess he belonged there from the first day anyway.

Why has this guy not been executed? I find it hard to fanthom that he has served two prison terms, including one in Turkey. I guess Turkey gives longer sentences for narcotics smuggling (midnight express) than for murder.
Disgusting.
They should keep this Turkish “turd” faaaaaaaaar away from the Vatican. Far, far, far away.
What a disturbed individual. Released from prison (should be serving a life sentence or have been executed) and drops a bombshell of a comment like this? Who signed off on this screwball’s walking papers?
Maybe Libya will take him into their fold.
