REGARDING the front page of the Warrington Guardian about the dreadful murder of Barbara Yates where police failed to act the way they should.

This is not the first case nor it will be the last, I can assure you.

How many times have we all heard cases where the police have failed to act and as a result, an innocent person is gets murdered in the UK?

In Mrs Yates’ case she was badly let down and now it has cost Mrs Yates her life, all because of, in the main, an evil scumbag in her husband – John Yates.

Not only has Mrs Yates has been let down by the police, she has been badly let down by the garbage criminal justice system.

John Yates has a chance of parole only after serving only a minimum of 18 years.

Blimey, only 18 years – because we all know convicted murderers in this country do eventually get released.

The sentence to me should be life meaning life or capital punishment for cases like this one.

Will Mrs Yates get a second chance? If so please let me know.

So Mrs Yates is long, long gone.

John Yates is still alive and kicking.

That’s justice for you.
