Two teenage boys have been jailed for life for the murder of a woman who was killed for dressing as a Goth

I can't remember whether I've commented on this case before or not but I have been following it.

Passing sentence at Preston Crown Court, Judge Anthony Russell QC described the attack as "feral thuggery" which raised serious questions about the "sort of society which exists in this country".

He added: "This was a terrible case which has shocked and outraged all who have heard about it.

"At least wild animals, when they hunt in packs, have a legitimate reason for so doing, to obtain food.

"You have none and your behaviour on that night degrades humanity itself."

Strong words, totally justified. It's a sad, sad society we live in. Any form of prejudice grieves me but this one in particular stands out as she was so beautiful and caring and it is such a pointless waste of a young life. My heart goes out to her boyfriend, whom she was trying to protect, and to all her friends and family. RIP

After the singles "Alone In The Dark" and "Slave Of My Mind", French dance star Kiko marks his comeback in April with one almighty, and superbly crafted bang - his second album "Slave Of My Mind". The record marks a fresh start, and the sound vividly reflects this positivity. On this second album, he went much further in terms of composition blending rave euphoria with an elegant, almost minimal approach, one that's markedly different from the disco clatter that characterized his earlier work. Now singed to Different Recordings, Kiko made his name crafting slick, melodic techno for local labels like Goodlife and Ozone in the late 1990s. At the time, his contemporaries included The Hacker, Oxia, Miss Kittin and Vitalic and they formed a kind of informal Gallic Techno Alliance that operated outside chi-chi Paris, and Grenoble became affectionately known as the "Detroit of France". Title track Slave Of My Mind is a late night Gothic epic with melancholic chords and strings mixed with the Dave Gahan-esque voice o
