  In the first frames of this vid, you see a young woman walking along a path alone.  You’re then shown a man who uncovers an axe, but before he can use it, another couple appear on the path. He then decides to not attack the lone woman.  I wonder how many people have, unknown to themselves, escaped being murdered or attacked by the skin of their teeth.

  The actor playing the Inspector General got me to confess to the murder and I wasn’t even born yet.

  The one girl was very brave to go see if her friend was alright, if it happened that way.

  Bobby finds an axe in his police car. “Hmmm, there’s an axe in me car.  I wonder ‘ow it got there?…oh well, it’s a free axe, innit.” 🙄

  The fact that the cop took the axe home to chop wood, I don’t think it’s outside the realm of possibilities that they coerced a confession out of him.

  I hope that police officer was fired for BRINGING HOME AN AXE HE FOUND IN A SQUAD CAR! That was just plain stupid.

  Nothing worse than a human predator. What sort of things lurk in the mind of someone who fantasies and carries out such attacks? Just horrid.

  That’s it. I’m removing all lumberjacks from my list of friends.

  Gotta love those UK Judges...criticising a defense barrister - in a death penalty case - for suggesting there might be police corruption. &nbsp;Corrupt policeman? What, in London?!? <br>Outrageous!

  Coward killers. They only prey on the weak and vulnerable. Sickos.

  Can u imagine two cops neglecting to find a frigging AXE on a suspect they just put into the backseat of their squad car??? &nbsp;They&apos;re lucky that lunatic didn&apos;t just decide to cave their heads in as well!

  Nice they mention Rosalind Franklin as one of the discoverers of the structure of DNA.
