34-Year Old Receives The Death Penalty For Triple Homicide
Mike Tinball, 34, has received the death sentence at the New Bricklington of State Justice. Over a 4 year period, Mr. Tinball raped and killed 3 women in the back of his taxi, before burying their bodies in the graves of war heroes. His crime was only discovered after detectives working on the case of a man murdered 15 years ago exhumed the bodies of 2 men from a cemetery, discovering the body of the then 17-year old Catalina Jones. 2 other victims were then discovered, and fingerprint recognition led detectives to Mr. Tinball. The women had been found to have been violently raped several times each, before having their throats slit, bleeding to death at the roadside before being taken in the boot of his taxi to the graveyard. Judge, Mr. Justice Taylor said "this vile, disgusting and sickening crime is something I cannot compare too, and for this, you deserve the maximum penalty of this justice system". Mr Mark Jones, Ms. Jones' father said "On behalf of the whole family, we are very pleased with the sentence given today. We have not forgotten or forgiven what this twisted man did to our daughter, and it is unlikely we ever will." Mr. Tinball's defense, Mr. Jim Saddis claimed his client should only receive a prison term of maximum 30 years, as "his dyslexia played a crucial role in his decision making, something which was not under his control." The jury however, took no time in issuing the verdict guilty in just 1 hour 13 minutes, voting 7-0 in favor.
