    From Season 1 Episode 4 "Jason Downie": In a horrifying incident on November 8, 2010, Jason Downie broke into the home of his friend's girlfriend, where Chantelle Rowe and her parents were asleep. Confronted by Andrew Rowe, Downie brutally stabbed him at least 29 times before turning on Rose Rowe, whom he also fatally attacked. Despite witnessing her parents' murders, 16-year-old Chantelle couldn't escape Downie's wrath, as he found and killed her too. Downie showed no remorse, even laying flowers outside the Rowe family home, but DNA evidence linked him to the crime. He was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum of 35 years.

    It is an excellent documentary video, it left me shocked to the core, I do not understand how any human can stick a knife into another human body even one time, I think this guy is nuts, he only has a half an oar in the water, moving him out of society was the best thing for all concerned. He probably does not know why he did it and can therefore not provide an explanation.

    • @AMunoz-rh9cz

      Having worked with such offenders, I can tell you that they give explanations of a sort usually. They cannot give a logical analysis… if they had solid rational insight, they wouldn’t be committing murders. When you interview them, they can usually give a distorted explanation which gives you an outline of the severe mental distortions present in their character. They can also describe many of their feelings and attitudes. Much information is also gained by observing how they react and behave on the living unit because this is factual and reality- based versus their opinion of themselves or self view. How they react to staff and other inmates is also extremely informative; WHO they choose to associate with and who they react to is extremely informative. Many of them sit in their cells for about a year and have to be required to come out at all; they frequently have hallucinations for about a year following sentencing involving the victims, particularly if they knew the victim well or were related before being able to come out on their living unit and function in a fairly normal manner. It isfar longer before they can talk directly about their offense in any meaningful manner at all. Prior to that - and more productive - are discussions about their own family life which is where the answers to these offenses lie.

    - Why the investigation initially jumped straight to daughter's circle of friends and not her parents? Not a word about parents relationships and possible motives from there from the police in this documentary ( even if the survey in question had been carried out by them ), in spite of the fact that the boy was really the killer. - Extremely horrendous crime, though. They all died for nothing. -
