    Having read the article, he was suffering from bipolar disorder, but apparently he did deliberately run over 6 people with a car, killing one of them

    In modern countries he’d be jailed for life, but let’s face it, there are still a few countries around the world that are stuck in tha dark ages and the death penalty still stands

      In a modern country he should get the help and support he needs, hopefully enough to live a normal life, and if not then he should be kept in a mental health facility where he can be comfortable but not a threat to himself or others
