I think you have to accept that the report is pretty rubbish piece of journalism but even so, on the face of the facts as presented............murder or manslaughter, the custodial sentence is derisory and frankly insulting - for the purpose of comparision, in the report below this one in the paper, there is a piece concerning an Indonesian housemaid who was awarded a 30 month custodial sentence for stealing 3 gold rings from her employer and beating the employers 5 year old sone due to "his stupid behaviour" (one knows the problem!!!!!) - so there we are - murder or manslaughter and abandoning the body = 3 years - the theft of 3 gold rings = 2 years; slapping a kid around = 6 months!!!
The authorities in this country get a lot of things right - unfortunately the application of the law in respect to nationals is NOT one of them. Just another day in paradise!! I will leave you to draw your own conclusion .........
