HTTP://WWW.STOPNATO.ORG.UK --------------------------- Daily Telegraph Gulf veteran stabbed
ex-girlfriend 40 times A Gulf war veteran who claimed to be suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder was jailed for life yesterday for murdering his former girlfriend. Paul Delaney used three knives, including his old double-edged Army combat knife, to stab Colleen Chudley, 27, up to 40 times in the chest in January last year.
Delaney, 30, a gunner in the Royal Artillery, was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder after the war and dishonourably discharged in 1992. He pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility but was convicted of murder at Exeter Crown Court. Passing sentence, Mrs Justice Hallett was openly sceptical about his attempts to blame his violence on war experiences. "I have no doubt your symptoms were added to until you had the full house of what you had read about on the Gulf war," she said. Miss Chudley split up with Delaney seven months before her death and moved to Silverton, Devon, with their children Terri-Lee, eight, and Harrison, five. Delaney, of Plymouth, travelled by bus to her home, broke down the door and attacked her, leaving the knives embedded to the hilt in her chest as the children cowered upstairs. As Delaney was taken down, yelling an obscenity about his victim, her family applauded the verdict. --------------------------- ANTI-NATO INFORMATION LIST ==^================================================================ This email was sent to: archive@jab.org EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?a84x2u.bacIlu Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================ |
