A 35-year-old man who deliberately pushed a renowned immigration lawyer to her death under a London tube train has been jailed for life.
An Old Bailey jury cleared Senthooran Kanagasingham of murder. But he admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility and was jailed after the court was told that doctors believed he no longer required hospital treatment for paranoid schizophrenia.
It is terribly sad thst such a kind person met such an undeserve death. His death can be cuationary tale for others like her.

The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you.
It's missing to me too, so it must have been deleted, but there is nothing in the deletion log. Did you save it after posting?

I just posted it like any other item, or I thought I did.... ???
It appears that a few posts about this were merged by one of our News Staff, Sandra Jane. I don't see any deleted posts, I think confusion is due to titles being changed.

Pushed to her death: Senthooran Kanagasingham (left) has been jailed for seven years for his fatal attack on his cross dressing friend David Burgess, known as Sonia (pictured right)
A transgender man who pushed his cross-dressing lawyer friend to her death under a Tube train has been jailed for seven years.
Senthooran Kanagasingham was undergoing sex-change treatment when he killed solicitor David Burgess, known as Sonia, at King's Cross station in London.
The 35-year-old, who was known as Nina at the time of the attack, was a close friend of the solicitor who had befriended him at a bar and often visited her Soho flat.

Just an hour before Sonia was pushed infront of the train the leading human rights and immigration lawyer had taken Kanagasingham to a doctor because she was so worried about his mental state.
That is some totally messed up stuff :'( Very sad in several ways
Let's see :eusa_think: Your lawyer friend who has been helping you takes you to the doctor, so then you push her into a train ??? Gee, I wonder if Senthooran has mental issues
I think anyone that does something like that is a definite threat to society and should be locked up for life
