Ex-girlfriend cleared of acid murder

"Berlinah Wallace, 48, hurled the corrosive fluid at Dutch engineer Mark van Dongen in Bristol in 2015.

Fifteen months later he ended his life by euthanasia in a Belgian hospital. He was paralysed from the neck down and had lost a leg, ear and eye.

At Bristol Crown Court, Wallace was found guilty of throwing a corrosive substance with intent."

Well this title is a bit misleading. She was found guilty of attacking him with acid but she was found not guilty of murder as he later died by euthanasia in Belgium. The issue was if he had his life ended by euthanasia was she guilty of murder as the practice is not legal in the UK. It is likely a man would have also been found not guilty if the roles were reversed. (Edit: formatting)

More details here:

His father, Cornelius van Dongen, said he wanted to return to a "normal life" but was told by doctors there that his paralysis could not be cured.

"The fact that he couldn't move his arms was the straw that broke the camel's back," he said.

"He completed his application for euthanasia. He said that 'my life has come to nothing and there is nothing left'.

I wonder how many lives has been destroyed here in Europe thanks to the cancer that is mass immigration, African and middle eastern immigration to be exact.

Surely in a case like this, we need to adapt a "Culpable Homicide" law, where she's ultimately found guilty for reducing the mans quality of life so low, that he had no choice but to end it. She's responsible for that and I hope she see's at least 15 years inside. Vile cunt.

As an update, she was sentenced to life in prison, possibility of parole after 12 years.

We need a sex offender registry for people like this.
