Shocking murder of a bloke trying to catch a few barbel

[Gerry Giles]

15 min drive from my house and this was where I fished as a kid but its a dangerous place to fish on your own on the Thames these days this is why I drive the 2 to 3 hours up to the trent

I fish the opposite side, as you obviously know Gerry that is a very tucked away spot. I wouldn't night fish there and I've fished into the early hours elsewhere on the river but never had any issues. Terrible and scary what happened, it does make you think about when and where to fish I agree.

Absolutely horrendous, three proper looking scrotes

Awful, hope they get what they deserve.

 

[Derek Funcks]

Absolutely disgusting. Poor fella goes fishing, and loses his life to 3 scumbags. Lets hope they don't get one of those farty arsed old judges, who's too lenient.

This country.... No the whole of humanity has some serious serious issues. This isn't an isolated incident. It's happening pretty much everyday

There is a place on the river lea with some absolute lumps in .. but I wouldn’t fish it without 3 or 4 other people
