WHAT planet do we live on? The letter from Joan Sourbutts (LET, December 22) asking us to "understand" the circumstances of the person who killed Amy Houston, beggars belief.
This person entered our country for protection and received it. He then broke the law, was prosecuted, then without remorse he continued to break the law.
God only knows the emotions Amy's family are feeling this Christmas. I wonder if its "understanding" or "forgiveness," more like, what was he doing here? Who let him in? And why should we understand his circumstances?
