Two teens found guilty of Eastbourne man's murder

Two teenagers have been found guilty of murdering a man outside a convenience store.

Shane Noble, 19, of no fixed address, and Joe Chapman, 15 and previously from Iden Street in Eastbourne, were found guilty today following a three week trial at Lewes Crown Court.

They have been remanded for sentencing on March 15.

They were charged after 46-year-old Chris Poole was attacked outside the Premier store in The Hydneye on the evening of August 16 last year.

I think the public are beyond tolerating the standard police response that "lessons have been learned" after this appalling case. The parents or family members of at least one of these criminals could be asked to account for their homicidal mentality and they should be required to attend the planned meeting to tackle anti-social behaviour in Hampden Park.
And are there any words of condemnation from Sussex's new police commissioner? If this kind of crime is outside her remit (and if not, then I don't know what is) I suggest that she gets her newly appointed deputy to take some action...such as bothering to attend such a meeting.

Ten years ago such a story would have made national headlines.

Teenagers.

Murdering a man.


THINK about that.



Shows how messed up things have become when nowadays in response to a story like this we barely bat an eyelid, and it only rates worthy of 'just another story', alongside asinine tales of local cake shops and council meetings over stop signs.


AWFUL.
