There is no punishment too severe

BOSTON — A man charged with murdering his wife and baby daughter searched the Internet for ways to kill people and methods of committing suicide in the days before the slayings, authorities said.

He also trolled the Internet looking for escort services and Web sites that offer help finding sexual partners, according to search warrant documents released Monday.

Neil Entwistle, 27, was arrested in his native England last week and charged in the Jan. 20 slayings of his wife, Rachel, and their 9-month-old daughter, Lillian, at their home in the Boston suburb of Hopkinton. They were shot to death as they cuddled in bed.

U.S. marshals are expected to bring Entwistle back to Massachusetts this week.

Investigators said a search of Entwistle's computer revealed he searched the Internet for information about suicide, euthanasia and "killing people with a knife," on Jan. 16 and 17.

The same week, he obtained the names and addresses of various escort services. He also visited a Web site called "Adult Friend Finder," which investigators said helps subscribers find sexual partners.

Prosecutors said last week in court papers that they believe Entwistle killed his wife and daughter because he was despondent over running up tens of thousands of dollars in debt, and that he was dissatisfied with his sex life.

They also said Entwistle may have planned to commit suicide, but backed out and fled to his parents' home in England.

A judge ordered the documents released at the request of news organizations, over the objections of the district attorney, who said the material could compromise her investigation.

Not only is he a pig that should be skinned alive, rolled in syrup and left to fester on an ant hill...he's incredibly stupid. No mercy.

Ugh, this whole story makes me sick to my stomach. This guy's a monster....how could he kill his beautiful wife and daughter???

And his reason for killing them was because why?? Because of debt?? I just don't get it. Did she have an insurance policy? Not that it makes it right!

As I mentioned in another thread, please try to keep things in perspective, as you try to pass judgement on this guy before his trial: Please keep in mind the serial rapists/killers, who plotted deliberately how to commit their offense repeatedly, and crafted their actions so as to cause the greatest possible pain and fear in their victims, and who would do it again immediately if given the chance.

If Entwhistle committed the crimes he'll surely get punished severely. It trivializes the victims of more despicable criminals by equating Entwhistle with them.
