"He later bought an electric saw, a bow saw and dust sheets, chopped the body into nine pieces and hid them in the fridge freezer in the kitchen."

And exactly why was he sentenced to five years? "Two years for the manslaughter and three years for preventing the burial." Seriously!

Too bad "Six Feet Under" is ending soon; this would have been a hell of a plot for them! It just shows to go ya; friends help you move, real friends help you move bodies...

note to self: after horrible, grizzly murder, always sit shiva -- it's respectful, and will knock a dime off the sentence...

Brendan: What is that relevant to exactly? He's a loser who had to go overseas to get a wife? Only losers marry 'foreigners'? Now don't get all in a huff thinking I'm sooo liberal and defending him in any way. In fact, I think he should be locked up for more than 5 years for this horrific crime. That sentence is a joke. I just don't see the connection between being a 'loser' murdurer and marrying a foreigner as you've so eloquently suggested.

I thought it was a lot easier to get a divorce in Britain?

Had it ever crossed your mind that she was Korean born but had moved to England at some point over the course of her life and they met while in England? I would agree with you if it were clear here that she were a mail-order bride. Where does it say that though???

Did you people read the same article I did? For one, this took place in Britain, not the USA (it's true, not EVERYTHING is about the US). Secondly, nowhere in that article was it even suggested that she was a mail-order bride. I wasn't aware that people born in Korea aren't allowed to relocate to the west unless they're purchased as a mail-order bride or adopted as a child.
