Anuj Bidve murder trial: Kiaran Stapleton 'calculating'
 
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england...ester-18745845

Quote:
The man accused of murdering Indian student Anuj Bidve was "calculating" and "cocky", a court has been told.

Brian Cummings QC, prosecuting, said Kiaran Stapleton, 21, wanted the jury at Manchester Crown Court to believe he simply "lost control" at times.

Upon asking Mr Stapleton why he picked to target Mr Bidve in a group of people, he replied: "I can't tell you".

The prosecution pointed to three previous incidents involving Mr Stapleton, which Mr Cummings said proved he only attacked when the odds were in his favour.

With this in mind, Mr Cummings told the court Mr Bidve presented the "perfect" victim for Mr Stapleton, of Regent Square, Ordsall.

The prosecution said it was "obvious" Mr Bidve, 23, and the eight other Indian students who were with him were not local.

"You were cocky when you marched over with this gun", Mr Cummings said.

"No", Mr Stapleton replied.

"Did they not look to you like foreign students or foreign business people, smart, clean-cut, respectable?"

"No, just normal people", said Mr Stapleton.

Mr Cummings said after asking the group for the time, Mr Stapleton "almost immediately" shot Mr Bidve in the head.

The prosecutor said there was a "simple reason" Mr Bidve was the victim, as he was the last person in the group.

"It's not the way you operate, you attack from behind," Mr Cummings said.

"Thanks you for pointing that out. I will bear it in mind," Mr Stapleton replied.

Mr Cummings said Mr Stapleton's "problem" was he was not brave enough to take people on, on equal terms.

He told the court: "This was perfect, absolutely perfect. You wanted to kill someone and nothing could be better than a group of foreigners on your patch.

"You shot that man and killed him, it worked like a treat and you ran off laughing?"

"That was not correct," Mr Stapleton replied.

The prosecution suggested the defendant was "quite happy" with word getting around the estate that he was responsible for the shooting, as long as the police did not have any evidence.

"Why would that make me happy?" Mr Stapleton asked.

"So you would get your reputation as a hard man", Mr Cummings replied.

"You were celebrating what you had done, having a laugh with your mates about it, enjoying their admiration as the hard man of the estate, this was what it was all about, wasn't it?"

"No," replied the defendant.
The trial was adjourned until Monday.

Kiaran Stapleton accused of mocking trial over goldfish
 
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england...ester-18772761

Quote:
A man who shot an Indian student dead has been accused of mocking his trial with a remark about his goldfish.

Kiaran Stapleton, 21, claims a "killer" teardrop tattoo on his face did not refer to Anuj Bidve's Boxing Day shooting but the fish's death.

He told a jury at Manchester Crown Court he did not want to discuss the goldfish because he might receive "animal cruelty" letters in prison.

Mr Brian Cummins QC, prosecuting, said: "Are you being serious?"

Mr Stapleton, walked up to Indian student Mr Bidve, 23, and his friends in the street in Ordsall, Salford, asked for the time and fired one shot to his victim's head without warning.

He admits manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility but denies murder.

Cross-examined by Mr Cummings QC, about why he got the tattoo two days after the shooting, he explained he knew that it had several meanings including signifying the wearer had killed someone.

He told staff at the tattoo shop that he had killed his goldfish.

Mr Stapleton told the prosecutor he did not wish to talk further about the goldfish.

He said: "I don't wish to discuss that. I might have animal cruelty sending letters to me at HMP Manchester."

'Little audience'

Mr Cummings asked: "Are you being serious or are you making fun of the proceedings?

Mr Stapleton replied: "No, no, I'm being serious."

Kiaran Stapleton has admitted killing Anuj Bidve but denies murder
The defendant was earlier accused of mocking the court when answering a question about his stay at the Campanile Hotel in Regent Road - near to the crime scene - the day after the shooting.

The jury has seen CCTV footage of Mr Stapleton looking out of the hotel windows.

Mr Cummings asked him why he did this.

Mr Stapleton said: "Seeing if there were any nice women walking past Regent Road... seeing if there were any nice legs."

The prosecutor asked: "Is that true or are you having a laugh in this trial?"

Mr Stapleton replied: "No, that's true."

He denied he had brought along his "little audience" of friends to the tattoo shop in Swinton and was "showing off" to them as they laughed and joked.

"This was all about enjoying your status as a killer, was it not?" said Mr Cummings.

Mr Stapleton said: "No."
The scumbag is just taking the pee ..... :mad:

When the prosecution asked if he hoped psychiatric reports would prevent him being jailed, he said: "To be honest, I'm not bothered."

He told Manchester Crown Court: "I love prison. I watch Coronation Street. I have got a fat canteen."

"I love prison. Lock me up for 65 years."

'I'm not bothered'

Looking to the jury from the witness box, he added: "Does this face look bothered?

"I have even got a new rug and bedding coming for my cell. I'm not bothered."
Those psychiatric reports may yet be interesting and certainly crucial ..... :idc:

Anuj Bidve killer sadistic, says psychologist
 
http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report...logist_1713603

Quote:
A Briton standing trial for the killing of Anuj Bidve had an anti-social personality disorder with psychopathic and sadistic features and acted impulsively when he killed the Indian student, a psychologist who assessed him has said.

Kiaran Stapleton, 21, who previously called himself 'Psycho' Stapleton at a court hearing, was put through several personality assessments by defence psychologist Sanya Krljes, who gave evidence at the ongoing trial in the Manchester Crown Court.

The psychologist said that Stapleton's break-up with his girlfriend, and separation from his daughter would have made him very angry.

He was holding on to his anger and rage over his girlfriend and acted impulsively in the worst imaginable way when he killed Bidve, Krljes said.

This was a man who could not tell if he was angry or not - he acted impulsively in the worst imaginable way, she said.

Stating that Stapleton scored highly on the sadistic aggressive scale, Krljes said the traits showed by Stapleton during interviews included sadistic, depressive, anti-social, impulsive and passive aggression.

The psychologist had concluded that Stapleton had an anti-social personality disorder with psychopathic and sadistic features.
But is he mad or just bad ..... :conf:

Kiaran Stapleton: 'I’d be lying if I said I was sorry'
 
http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereven...id-i-was-sorry

Quote:
The killer of Indian student Anuj Bidve told a psychiatrist after his arrest: ‘If I said I was sorry, I would be telling a lie’, a court heard.

Professor Nigel Eastman told Manchester Crown Court that gunman Kiaran Stapleton had a ‘very substantial lack of ability to feel what other people feel’.

Prof Eastman, consultant forensic psychiatrist added: "I don’t think he has got any real feeling for what he’s done, he’s sorry for his own situation rather than the victim’s."

The court has been told that Stapleton was diagnosed with an anti-social behaviour disorder with psychopathic tendencies by experts instructed by his defence.

Prof Eastman also described how Stapleton told how he felt a ‘glass wall’ between himself and other people when acting violently.

Stapleton told the psychiatrist: "If I’m going to do something, nothing will stop me. Even if there’s a camera there or the police. Once I’m on one side of the glass wall I can’t get back. Nothing will stop me doing what I’m going to do."

Prof Eastman noted that Stapleton did not describe being frightened or upset after the shooting, while his friend, eyewitness Ryan Holden, was badly shaken.

He said of Stapleton: "I don’t think it’s because he’s the harder of the two men, it’s because he doesn’t feel."

Stapleton checked into a hotel overlooking the scene in the aftermath of the killing. Prof Eastman said: "People with normal feelings would steer clear."
Fair enough ..... bang him up with other "psychos" until he dies ..... :pipe:

Kiaran Stapleton attacked prisoner with bucket of hot water and billiard balls
 
http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereven...alls-in-a-sock

Quote:
CCTV footage captured the attack launched by Kiaran Stapleton at HMP Manchester where he is remanded in custody for the alleged murder of Anuj Bidve.

Stapleton threw the bucket over the head of prisoner Michael Sharp, with sugar melted in the liquid so it would stick to his victim's skin. He then carried on the assault on the Category A prison wing using billiard balls in a sock with the help of two friends from Salford armed with pool cues, Manchester Crown Court has heard.

Stapleton, 21, later told a forensic clinical psychologist in interview that he had intended to kill Sharp.

Prosecution expert Dr Adrian West said the defendant gave his account of the incident which took place earlier this year.

Stapleton said he came out of the shower and had seen Sharp sitting down playing chess and then "I just went and done what I done". The defendant explained there was less than a minute between deciding what he was going to do and actually carrying it out.

"He said he knew the hot water would scald Michael Sharp and he also said that his intention was to kill him with snooker balls," said Dr West.

Dr West explained to the jury: "I saw his behaviour as purposeful and instrumental - that is a pre-determined goal of causing deliberate harm."

Anuj Bidve killer Kiaran Stapleton chose 'the biggest head'
 
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england...ester-18862890

Quote:
Dr Adrian West told Manchester Crown Court defendant Kiaran Stapleton had told him in an interview the group "should have got a taxi".

Dr West said Mr Stapleton, 21, was moving "purposefully" towards the group of friends before Mr Bidve was shot.

The forensic clinical psychologist told the court he had asked Mr Stapleton why he targeted the Lancaster University student, who was walking with a group of friends.

Dr West said Mr Stapleton replied: "Only because he had the biggest head."

He told the court Mr Stapleton then told him: "I blew a hole in his head, there is nothing I can say, nothing whatsoever. They should have got a taxi, things would have been different if they had got a taxi."

Simon Driver, junior prosecuting counsel, asked Dr West what his opinion was on Mr Stapleton's state of mind as he crossed the road to approach Mr Bidve.

Dr West replied: "I consider he moved purposefully and then he purposefully asked the time because that gave him an opportunity to have a better selection of those people in front of him."

He added Mr Stapleton's positioning and the way he fired the handgun was "purposeful" in its accuracy.

While discussing Mr Stapleton's character, Dr West told the court he did not think the defendant had a total lack of empathy, but "impaired empathy".

He said: "He is still capable of being aware of the feelings and states of other people and the effect of his actions on them".

Dr West also said he did not see Mr Stapleton as "characteristically impulsive", as he had no history of problems with possible addictions such as alcohol, drugs or gambling.

Anuj Bidve shooting: judge begins summing up in murder trial
 
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/ju...?newsfeed=true

Quote:
A judge has begun summing up in the murder trial over the shooting of an Indian postgraduate student on a Salford street in the early hours of Boxing Day.

The judge, Mr Justice Timothy King, told the jury the facts of Bidve's death were heartbreaking. Equally, jurors may have sympathy towards the defendant, he said. . But it was important they carried out a dispassionate assessment of the evidence.

He said Stapleton admitted unlawfully killing Bidve, but the question the jury had to resolve was whether he had intended to kill or cause him real, serious harm.

The prosecution case was that the defendant was in control of his actions at the time of the shooting, there was no loss of control and he was not angry or upset, the judge said. He said the defence argued this was "too simplistic".

Prior to the shooting Stapleton had drunk five or six bottles of Smirnoff Ice. "Although he himself was not affected by this and was certainly not drunk … you must bear this in mind."

The judge said part of Stapleton's defence relied on the facts that the gun belonged to his friend Ryan Holden, that Holden handed it to him unexpectedly moments before the shooting, and that Stapleton did not know or believe the gun was loaded.

"The defendant failed to mention any of these matters during police interviews. For the most part, he said: 'No comment'. He never mentioned these things and this failure may count against him," the judge said.

He said the prosecution argued that the defendant told several lies. When he was arrested and questioned, he denied any involvement in Bidve's killing. In a police interview he lied about a teardrop tattoo and falsely suggested it had been done some weeks before the killing, the judge said. The defence argued the lies were "part and parcel of the recognised medical condition", he said.

The judge will resume his summing up on Wednesday before the jury retires to consider its verdict.
Guilty, m'lud ..... :idc:

A man who shot Indian student Anuj Bidve in the head has been convicted of his murder at Manchester Crown Court.

Kiaran Stapleton, 21, denied murder but had admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.

Mr Bidve had been walking with a group of friends early in the morning to the sales in Manchester when he was killed.

His parents Subhash and Yogini were in court to hear the jury return their verdict after 90 minutes of deliberations.

Mrs Bidve cried after the verdict was announced while Mr Bidve bowed in his seat and later held his hands to his face.

Stapleton will be sentenced on Friday.
Bang the psycho up ..... forever ..... :mad:

I hope the verdict will bring the parents, relatives and friends of Anuj some relief.

He shot the 23-year-old Lancaster University student on Boxing Day 2011 as he walked to the Manchester sales with friends.

Stapleton was told he would serve a minimum term of 30 years.

Mr Justice King said: "Only then will you be released if you are deemed not to be a risk to the public."

Stapleton showed no emotion as the sentence was passed.
