He was found by a passer-by who described it as "[B]a scene from a horror film[/B]".
Ramunas Raulinautis was found in front of the Gateway Express hotel in Newport
Judge Justice Roderick Evans told them: "This was a shockingly violent, cold-blooded murder and you caused your victim extreme suffering.
"He was given a ferocious beating but his body was then so badly burned many of the injuries were unable to be seen by a pathologist.
"[B]You stuffed paper into his clothing and set him alight - even in his injured state he must have been in agony.[/B]"

I can't even understand how people are capable of something like this. And it really doesn't improve the image Lithuanians have about Polish people.
what the fuck
why would you even do that

Are you seriously questioning the destructive capabilities of an individual human being?
I thought it to be pretty apparent that anyone is capable of horrible things.
Not to be negative, we're also capable of fantastic things. It's just that when you have really good people you're bound to have the complete opposite, as we see here.
Why do other just as bad or worse murders not get a longer sentence?

i said why not how
[QUOTE=JamesRaynor;35989542]Why do other just as bad or worse murders not get a longer sentence?[/QUOTE]
Well probably because the others are in other countries with different sentencing systems.
[QUOTE=Fourm Shark;35989347]He is not questioning the capability of an individual doing an atrocious act such as this. He is questioning the reasoning behind such acts, asking questions such as, "What thoughts are going through these peoples heads?" and, "Why would anyone think that this was a good idea?"[/QUOTE]
Being drunk, and a hooligan probably doesn't help.
Sick fucks.
Not new to me, seeing as it's just dumbasses being dumbasses.
