THIS IS A TRUE STORY.!!!
Niel Charles was a regular thief, I hope ' not a killer?
Well he came to grief; Bury St Edmunds. Market town
June 2021 himself he found. Tryiing some doors at
private houses around, its what he was doing no need to spice it.'
A father and son surname King, went to confront him
And here is the thing,' one with a knife; the other a short sword
Both going seperate, is what I've took on board.. Some
Altercation must have ensued? Between Neil and David
King, the father as told in the news' Neil was fatally
Wounded and died.' David called the cops thirty eight
Seconds inside.) His son named Edward was he a part?
Of the death of Neil? That touches different hearts' Neil
Left a sister, who no doubt grieves.' Theres a mother and
Wife Heather..King who believes.' That this was all a tragic
Event..Yet the 'jail time given does not represent' a just
And fair handling, of the case as tried..ninteen years for
Edward on the inside, David got twenty one is it harsh? What
To think? Should they appeal? Look for a chink? Edward a
Store worker David he built..Now what a lot they have lost..
And a man was killed.' So much sadness in this affair,
Did the system deal with all aspects fair.? It calls for
Refection on our values in life, for the many decisions
That affect everyone on all sides.'
