Thank goodness he's out of circulation for a reasonably long time, although I think he should rot in jail for the rest of his life.

Could have so easily been preventable...

had the original rape victim reported her ordeal to the police.
Is this a sad indictement of our society that some women are still reluctant to report assault and rape to the police?
If only she had, then Miss Waddell would surely still be alive.
We will probably never know to what extent of suffering she had to endure in her final moments ,as any motives for this atrocity seem to remain vague.

Cause of death

"During the trial, jurors were asked to consider whether McMillan killed her after discovering she was transgender, or because she was unable to perform sexually because of physical ailments after illnesses including fibromyalgia."

No.he killed her because he was somebody who was willing to kill and rape for whatever reason. He killed her because he was what one might call 'evil'. End of.

Excellent observation.

...evil exists in the world; I've seen it first hand and so have you and so many of us here. He killed and raped her because he could. End of story! Thanks you.
