Good riddance. Just a pity it was a hospital (albeit a secure mental hospital) he died in rather than in prison.
He never did reveal the location of Keith Bennett's body - I feel for the family.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Reportage suggests that he actually wanted to die in prison which is why they kept him at Ashcroft.
I too feel for Keith's family in particular, and the other families too. It's not something they are ever going to get over. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

With that a*hole it was likely a double bluff - he was fond of playing games with people.

RIP - an unusual sentiment for someone who committed such horrible crimes.

Yet, Quote: The killer had long expressed the wish to be allowed to die and had even reportedly gone on hunger strike resulting in him being force fed through a tube.
In 2013 he asked to be moved to a Scottish prison so that he could be allowed to starve himself to death, but his appeal was rejected after Ashworth medical experts said he had chronic mental illness and needed continued care in hospital.
Interesting. Without getting too soapboxy, if a serial killer wants to die I don't see why the taxpayers need to keep paying money to keep him alive. 
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I'd probably agree, but I guess if he wants to die then it implies he is suffering by continuing to live and maybe that's a better punishment.
From the perspective of the families, I imagine that they prefer the idea of him suffering given that they are suffering too. From a tax payer perspective however...

But their suffering will never go away. Forgiveness is the only thing that will bring some relief.

As opposed to giving him what he wants?
I'm happy to have contributed to the cost of his suffering.

Perhaps a "go fund me" campaign for those sadists interested instead of forcing the taxpayer to do so.

You can define RIP in multiple ways. For people like him I'd suggest: decompose in liquid biological waste.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

RIP - Recursive Intense Pain, at least that's what I hope for him. I lived a couple miles from this a**hole[^], the death penalty was way too kind.

At least for me.
There were a few rounds, but the Q'er's last response was:
"This is very difficult, but fine now I have to learn it."
Perhaps he wrote it in resignation to necessity - but what better result could you want? He's going to try to learn something!

It's gotta be better than trying to hammer it home with a cluebat.
And some of 'em need a ton of cluebricks dropped on 'em.

And if that doesn't work, they should be sent to a ClueBlackHole.
