People think there was some kind of sick symbolism behind Jemma removing the head. A show of power, a final act of control, some even talked about the occult?!?! Nah. It's far more likely she chopped off the head because it made it easier to fit the body in the suitcase. Bear in mind she was trained in anatomy and that kind of technique on human cadavers, so she could have done it pretty easily. The body was apparently meant to have been stashed somewhere more discreet, but that flat tyre threw off her timescales. She was probably also paranoid that the AA man had maybe rumbled her or become suspicious, so she would have needed to act more quickly. Bear in mind the rental car needed to be back in London and handed back by a certain time...
She was given life in prison but eligible for parole after 34 years. Western European countries are not known for harsh sentences. Living in the US I am continually shocked at the leniency given murderers in some countries.
I had to play the part where gemma's mom says she thinks Deborah either fell or axed herself back again bc I couldn't believe it. That level of denial is pretty deep...
One question left unanswered, and something that many locals were asking when her body was first discovered is: why Salcombe? And why that specific spot? Apparently, it’s not the sort of place tourists know about or visit much. Even many people who’d lived in the town all their lives may never have actually gone down there. So how did this evil woman even know about it? An did why travel across the country to deposit the body in that specific area? It just doesn’t make any sense.
What makes this case even more appalling, if that was even possible, was the fact that Jemma was not "in need" of money as she owned a property worth millions of pounds. She murdered someone who saw her as a friend and who had helped her before. That she showed no remorse for her crime makes me wonder if a full life tariff should have been imposed. It is people like Jemma and others like her who commit such heinous crimes who persuade me to wonder if Stalinist forced labor death gulags do actually have a place in the Criminal Justice System. Some people simply do not deserve either sympathy or mercy, and society has been too generous with both to convicts.
The house had been in the family "for generations" and they felt entitled to it, I think. The alterations they tried to make to it were insane - you can see the house in its original form on the 2008 Street View image, but later they basically tried to build a whole few extra floors on top. Absolute madness and frankly it might have been easier to just pull the old house down and start again. Or indeed sold the house as was, move out of London with several millions, and buy a smaller house outright somewhere cheaper. Properly invest the difference and you'll be very comfortable. There was actually a documentary with her mother, who showed the film crew around the unfinished property. There were still tools lying around, holes in the roof etc. and it was a total disaster.
What a cold hearted woman. With her skills and intelligence, she could have had a fulfilling life and career. But she threw it away for money and a dilapidated house.
Can you do a video on the Murders of Jourdan Bobbish and Jacob Kudla, an absolutely horrific crime that seems to get ignored due to the races of the victims .
@@gushingranny475 I just checked this case and see what you mean. One of the murderers certainly was racist against why tes! The perps were from the current protected and privileged group, who are usually the ones causing havoc.
I've watched several docos on this. Mindboggling as she could've just sold the house and lived a comfortable life with her mother. Obviously had some mental issues but how and why?
This is why in many aspects having enemies is better than having friends because at least enemies are honest about their motives towards you while a friend may draw you in to gain your trust and then stab you in the back when you least expect it as was the case here there's fewer people that i find that i can truly trust on a personal level the older i have gotten which is why i keep my social circle to an absolute minimum that way you keep the bad apples out of your life its just not worth interacting with people that i don't and a complete waste of time aswell
The mom said the victim killed herself?!? Lol, so she chopped her own head off in the woods? JFC.
She should never get out of prison. What a cold hearted person.
So her mother posits that Deborah may have ended her own life... Was this before or after she decapitated herself?🤔
Lol I hate to laugh at this but the way y'all are wording the comments is funny... but what an absolutely absurd thing to say. 🙄
Well, she was quite a clever woman!!!
I would say after...I mean, if I decapitated myself, I wouldn't want to go on, ya know?
Denial...it is a hell of a thing.
Remember this. Horrific.
I remember this case. Talk about evil. She definitely deserves life without parole. How do you rehabilitate a person who would do that?
With friends like that who needs enemies?!
Very creepy case. Thankfully it was solved.
Not life in prison? How does one justify letting her out one day?
No one's letting her out. It's 34 to life. She could very well never be let out. She's not even up for parole until 2056.
Unlikely she'll ever get out.
A new video is always a treat 🙏
Solved cases always give us hope. Far too many unsolved cast. s exist
I only heard about this the other day - so shocking.
Evil or mentally disturbed, or both?

34 years in prison is indeed a very harsh sentence.
Yes, but not harsh enough.@@simonecrevecoeur
You should see the sentences they give out in Korea
It's like that cuz we don't physically have the room to house prisoners for life
And in yours too, they often get out before finish of sentences too

"Says"....
@@judedonnelly4100, first day on the internet, eh? Never seen an autocorrect fail before, have you?
Very sad story. 😞
Horrific
SCARY!
Tragic. Poor Deborah. And decapitating her. All for greed. Thank you DC.
I remember this story. So sad.
oh, i remember this one

It just doesn’t make any sense.
The phrase " An did why travel " doesn't make any sense either.

Great video.🙏
I guess the victim cut off her own head before throwing herself down steps at a holiday place far from home.

That is terrible. If the races were turned, it would have made international news! 😡
Due to race??
@@breez706 yeah, the killers were very open about having racial motivations. It would have been national media had the victims been any other race.

I hope your channel is doing better, I try to watch and like everyone of your videos ❤
Poor woman. I guess this is a lesson to choose your friends carefully. She shouldn't get out of prison imo. Well presented as always DC x
I've watched several docos on this. Mindboggling as she could've just sold the house and lived a comfortable life with her mother. Obviously had some mental issues but how and why?
gotta watch out for these "christians"
A Good Presentation as usual 👋,A Good sentence of jail time,let's hope she's bad there,so,not let out for good behaviour🤒
I wonder how the poodle that's tied on the judge's head feels about its position in life.
That mugshot...
So Jemma murdered this vulnerable, older lady because she got scammed by the contractors/builders? Go after them instead

It seems you also keep your use of punctuation to an absolute minimum. ie, zero. 😊
She should have been given life in prison. NO Parole!!!
A comment for the algorithm. ❤
