I'm sure the nay-sayers will carry on and pretend this is not an 'honour killing' but that's precisely what this is. A man killed his wife for having dishonoured him and slept with his friend. Just because it doesn't have all the cultural dress up and other hype surrounding it, makes it no different.

'Provoked' boat-sex killer jailed

A man who stabbed his partner and his best friend to death after he found them having sex on his canal boat has been jailed for 12 years.

William Cranston was previously cleared of their murders but convicted of manslaughter, by reason of provocation.

The 44-year-old killed Kay Morton, 39, and Paul Wilkins, 55, on a narrow boat in Stoke Hammond, Buckinghamshire in September.

Cranston was sentenced to 12 years by a judge at Kingston Crown Court.

'Remorse genuine'

Judge Anthony Leonard QC told Cranston: "You are responsible for the deaths of two individuals who did not deserve to die at your hands.

"It was clear when you gave your evidence that you showed remorse for what you had done and I felt that the remorse was genuine.

"I take into account that you tried to administer first aid as they lay in the cabin."

But he said the 12 year sentence was a necessary reflection of the "seriousness" of the two killings, Cranston's "short fuse" and the "sustained" attack he inflicted on Mr Wilkins.

At Cranston's trial last month Reading Crown Court heard how he, Ms Morton and Mr Wilkins had been drinking at a nearby pub before returning to the narrow boat where they continued drinking and smoking cannabis.

Cranston went to bed but later woke up to find his partner and friend having sex.

'Lashed out'

He told police after the stabbings: "Paul jumped up and came towards me.

"I can't remember picking up the knife. When he came towards me, I just sort of lashed out to find out what was going on.

"Literally five seconds later, they were both on the floor bleeding to death, and I've got a knife in my hand."

The jury had been told Cranston's baby son, Kevin, had died the previous February on the sofa where he discovered the pair.

Cranston told the court: "I can't believe this has happened to everybody. I just walked in there and lost my rag completely."

Cranston, who was handed two 12-year jail terms to be served concurrently, will have time already spent in custody deducted from the sentence.

Right and there's no such thing as a Muslim honour killing either.

In fact, the Bible is about the only book that even mentions killing for honour, the Islamic texts certainly do not.

Quote:


Same way you know "Muhammad" or "Ahmad" or "Jamal" is a Muslim if he killed his wife or daughter or whatever for committing a lewd adulterous action.

Quote:


Not true, many of them are done in fits of rage and jealousy, and often under the influence of alcohol... but they're good practising Muslims right? Because their name is Muhammad, they must be.

abu - thanks for highlighting this abhorrant behaviour of muslims.

wadda goose.
no wonder you are a muslim, prefer to not make your own decisions , do we ?

Seriously Abu, that is a stretch for any logical person to accept.
It was a crime of passion, no more no less, and to try and pass honour killings as being in the same category, is either a sign that you are deluding yourself, or being less than honest.

Here is an example of "honour" killing:

Spree of honour killings in Jordan

Oh dear....  why don't you list em then aboo...  save me doing your work for you.

This is not an honour killing...  it was explained to you why.

I know someone whose sister was killed by her father...  they weren't Muslim.  I considered that an honour killing.

I know about Italians and other latinos who have done such things in the past but you don't see it happening these days with the frequency it happens in Islamic groups.

As for me being interested in them...  I'm not interested in them at all.  I deplore them.  I deplore people killed for being in love due to some religious crap, whether it be Islam or Catholicism.

Hate to tell you this again...  but you are the one living in another plane of existence.  The paranoid delusional plane.

It seems that muslims are the worse trespassers of own religion and laws. No wonder that allah turned away from muslims.
