wayne was such a nice lad, and it must be so hard for danny,jimmy and their dad. and my thoughts are with them, and have been since wayne lost his life. wayne was such a nice lad, and he made people smile even when you felt down. i hate judging people, i understand in the heat of an argument, but surely to god you dont pick up a knife, waynes family i am so so sorry about the loss of wayne, and it must of been so hard for you to go mrs lawrences death, then ryans and now wayne. all i hope is that wayne is sitting up there somewhere with his mum and his son, and looking down on you guys and keeping an eye out for you. all i can say is i will never forget you mr urey gellar man xx

   has this world totally gone mad. ive just seen the news and they have re classified cannabis and you can get 5 years in prison .yet this person has murdered someone and got 4 years please can someone tell me whats going on by the way i have never took drugs in my life its just a point my thoughts are with the family of wayne x

   Do people not realise, Wayne was the father of Ryan, did he not have feelings for the baby too? Surely, he should be considered, the death must have affected him also. No mention of how he too, must have been tormented.We have lost a lovely nephew, any thoughts to the family that are left? We looked after Wayne and his brothers when they were little after the death of their Mum and he never gave us any trouble of any kind, there was no reason to believe he was the cause he was the cause of his own death. One stab wound does not indicate any struggle. Wayne must have been taken by surprise. Wayne will be in the arms of his Mum and may he rest in peace. Judy & David.

   The vast majority of women in prison have been abused by men, so have those with a criminal record. Any solution to this mess must involve men. Putting women in prison is bad practice and is a male idea

   No-one can spell or punctuate a paragraph correctly, "cum on dunkem Ballz"

My condolences to all concerned.

   The british legal system is a joke!!! four years for killing my mate, still can't me ead round it. Rest easy wayno see ya when i see ya. Adam.

   Why did she kill her partner, the father of her child, her lover? She must have had very strong mitigating factors to get off with such a light sentence, these have obviously been kept from the public record for a very good reason, but her life is ruined anyhow. What person could possibly ´move on´from such dire personal tragedy? It´s not like like she´s going to come out of prison, land in a nice cushy job and a pretty house with a rose garden. Most likely she´ll end up in a far worse situation than she is now. This is a tragic tale, a dead baby, a partner who died by her hand, prison, what next? What leads a person to commit such an extreme act? For every action, there´s a reaction. This was once a young woman with her life ahead of her and I for one would like to know what went wrong.

   "She will probably be out in a couple of years or less if tagged, she will be able to start again! but what about Wayne? wheres his fresh start? 4 years for a life what deterant is that!THE WORLD HAS GONE MAD!"

Sadly this is the way things work, it's not right especially when no provocation has been given...the world has, alas, gone completely raving mad....

   Loving someone or losing a child does not give anyone the right to take away anothers life!, We knew Wayne for along time and we stand proud knowing he was our friend. We all might not know what went on that night but we know in our hearts he did not deserve this! If Wayne had been stood in the dock, a man, we know he would of got the maximum sentence not minimum! This is not justice this is just like giving her detention at school, a mere telling off! She will probably be out in a couple of years or less if tagged, she will be able to start again! but what about Wayne? wheres his fresh start? 4 years for a life what deterant is that!THE WORLD HAS GONE MAD!

   Nobody, except the poeple who were there, knows what thappened that night. What we do know is that they had both lost a child and that night a man lost his life and she lost her partner. On the scant evidence published, it seems like a crime of passion, which no sentence would deter. To answer the question "Would you hang a pregnant woman?" No, but I would hang her when she'd given birth !

   The world has gone mad.

1, No-one can spell or punctuate a paragraph correctly. 2, When did "grief counselling" become a pre-requisite for people to remain sane and act according to the law?

   Ace - the death penalty doesn't deter in America, so why should it here? If pushed far enough, many of us could be capable of such an offence. By the way, would you hang a pregnant woman?

   Once again the MEN opens up for discussion something most inappropriate. Comments can only be made on the report as it is written. We dont know the circumstances, it is not reported. MEN is inviting people to hypothesize and it must be very distressing for the family and friends of both parties to see such ill informed musings in an open forum.

   I agree with some of the comments that have been made, clearly the woman was suffering from the loss of her child, clearly she was grieving, its an odd thing to do to stab someone. I know what it's like to lose the fruit of your womb, its hurts, twisting inside you like a knife, this woman was already in a prison, surely she must of been having grief counselling and possibly on anti-depressants??? It is a shame that the man concerened lost his life and in this way, but plates don't just break themselves, I know his family must also be in emotional anguish. Post traumatic stress disorder - was this is factor in the case??? MY condolences to all concerned
