Doing some research on him and i read a few times he was bullied badly for his speech problems - i see why now. What a great primary source

He was born with a cleft pallet, his father despised and brutally beat him as a child.

It’s quite frightening to see what a banal pathetic almost childlike person he seems to be. If you met him he would probably come across as the last person you’d expect to kill you. But he is seething with utterly demented rage under it all. He ruined so many people’s lives.

Interesting audio. If you're interested in this case I suggest reading Broken Lives by Estelle Blackburn.
