Man Who Locked U.K. Nurse in Car Trunk for 10 Days Is Sentenced - International News | News of the World | Middle East News | Europe News - FOXNews.com

An illegal immigrant who abducted a nurse in Scotland and left her tied up in the trunk of her car for 10 days has been sentenced to a minimum eight years in prison.
Justice Ngema, 35, was jailed for abduction and assault after Magdalen Makola was found dehydrated and suffering from hypothermia the day after Christmas last year.

IMO the punishment is to soft. 8 yrs, when he would have let her die in the trunk of that car. Seems like attempted murder, grand theft, torture,
and many other crimes they could add to keep him in jail for a lot longer.
Of course, I am use to 8yr sentence meaning 2-3 yrs in America.

According to the Times he's been sentenced to a minimum of 8 years with a lifetime restriction order - what that basically means is he can be imprisoned for longer if his parole officers believe he continues to be a risk to the public.

Does this work?
Parole officers are over worked in the states, or just don't care.

Personally, I believe he should get 15yrs or more.

Honestly, it depends on the parole officers. Some are good and do their jobs well, others are useless and recommend that dangerous people be released from prison.

Just like any other occupation, I guess.
I hope for innocent people everywhere, this man doesn't get out for a long time.

While 8 years is too soft, they should tie this guy up in a room the size of a car trunk for 10 days, w/out food, water and electricity and no toilet either.
