"A man who admitted in a courtroom last November he had delusions of cannabalism and other extreme acts of violence has been charged with the first-degree murder of his grandmother (73).
Sources say he was living across the street since he was released from prison last summer.
Last November, he received a seven-month sentence for breaching court orders. He was caught consuming alcohol three days after his release from a penitentiary after doing time for a brutal rape.
He served a 54-month term after gaining entry to the woman's home by claiming he was a police officer.
He has testified he suffers violent delusional thoughts when off medication he takes for a myriad of psychiatric problems.
Those delusions include cannabalism, decapitation and other acts of extreme violence when not on medication for depression and paranoid schizophrenia he believes he suffers from.
At the time of the rape, he was on probation after serving time for two counts of sexual interference, one with a five-year-old boy and the second with a six-year-old girl.
His grand-mother is described by neighbours as a frail, but friendly woman who seldom ventured outside her residence, but often had friends over to visit her."

Just how sick is this? This lady who was brutally murdered is living in the town where I grew up and where my parents are still residing (30 minutes away).
My friend, Tina, lives RIGHT NEXT DOOR to this murderer with her 5 yr old daughter!
This is just sick that he was out of jail at all!

That is just horrible. They let these people out because of over-crowded prison systems, but they are not re-habilitated and some will never be.
Always check for sexual offenders in your area, or the areas of loved ones who may not be able to defend themselves. Everyone needs to be aware of people convicted of sexual offenses in areas they live or frequent.
This is just such a tragedy. I can't help but think if some parole officer had been doing his job, this never would have happened.

That's just awful!
A grown man that can't deal with people his own size & strength, just shows how big of a coward they are, picking on children & the elderly...
I know Tina is breathing a sigh of releif that her 5 yr. old is safer now that He is incarcerated (sp?).

She is indeed relieved. After the police arrested him (after the funeral - he was a ... don't know the english word - porteur in french - carried the casket? )....anyways, after he had been arrested, Tina went outside and the police officer told her "You won't have to worry because he's going to be in jail for a long long time"... Tina gave the cops a dirty look and said "Yeah and it took him killing his grandmother for that to happen?" then she went back inside...
IT's true huh? PEople get released when they shouldn't!

That is just sick..They should be locked up and the key thrown away.I think that all the other prisoners in the jail should get 10 mins with them...In the U.K.Prisoners hate rapists,child killers and child molesters and women beaters!!!

The English term for porteur is pallbearer. He sure had a nerve doing that - I guess he thought it would through the police off his scent. She was probably the only one left who cared for him too - sick just plain sick.

Dark Angel, I've heard it is pretty much the same here in the U.S. I've known several people who worked for the prison system and by all accounts, a lot of the people in there have their own little code of morality. It wouldn't surprise me if something didn't happen to this sicko while he's in prison.

If they pose such a risk and he admitted he did with saying he had delusions of cannabalism and violence, then why the heck did the system let him out in the first place?
It sounds like he should have been given life in a max security prison before hand.
It makes me wonder what kind of upbringing bred this kind of personality. Was it his upbringing, or was it some sick stuff he got into later.
The world has gone crazy....and it's taking me down with it!
This sounds like it could have been prevented and I know we all like to blame the system, but in this case, it seems this individual was overlooked, or he was very cunning.

I agree Lefora. I have a feeling one reason he got out is because our prison system is severely overcrowded and some parole officer wasn't paying attention to the fact that the guy was a time bomb. I agree that this and so many other crimes could be prevented, but it is going to take people in authority doing their jobs and being vigilant.
This doesn't really have much to do with the post, but I can't help but be reminded of it:
While teaching in a rural, impoverished school district, the "powers that be" decided to take the entire school, grades 6-12 to a newly constructed prison in the area. I was never sure if the purpose of this field trip was to scare the kids (I would have been terrified at that age), or to show them job opportunities available in the prison system (this particular county has a tremendous number of people employed by the prison system). Anyway, teachers and students toured the facility before prisoners were housed there. I was absolutely shocked by the reaction of the students. The majority of these kids were in awe of the cleanliness and facilities available there. Several remarked that it was so much nicer than their own homes. Upset, I confronted several and did the speach of "These people have no freedoms, they are locked up, etc... Regardless of where and what you live in, it has got to be better than this." The reply they gave me stunned me: "Hey teacher, at least here we would get three meals a day, it's clean, you get to watch TV and play basketball outside..."
Sadly enough, these kids had a point. I don't think this is the attitude of the typical American youth, but I get the impression that there is a certain segment of our society that views prison as an acceptable way to live. With this belief, it is no wonder that we have so many in our correctional facilities, and why so many are repeat offenders. I would like to see more accountability from parents, more programs aimed not just at inner city, but also children in rural and suburban areas, etc... to prevent things like this from happening to the next generation. To paraphrase Mark Twain, "it is better to support schools than prisons."

I agree Carrie. It is sad that some people and kids view jail as a good place. And they do have a point, cable, computers, work out area, 3 meals and a warm place to sleep. Come on, to a kid that has nothing and wonders where their next meal will come from that probably would sound good. I think they need to bring back the chain gangs. : ) I remember my mom telling me she had to run to the police station for something and took my brother. Who was very young at the time. In the elevator they are in is this huge guy in Arm and leg shackles. My brother's eyes are wide. He looked down at my brother and said "this is what happens when you don't mind your mother boy" "so you better listen to her" All my brother could do was shake his head yes.

Also child molesters are the lowest people in Jail here in the US too. Next to rapists and women beaters. And they do have their code of ethics as weird as they may be. There have also been times were a child molesters door has been accidently (haa haa)left open along with someone elses door. Or guards turn a blind eye to something being done. Can't say I feel for sorry them. I think they are getting what they deserve.
