    Murray's head looks misshapen, like if you sit him on your desk and give him a little poke, his head would wobble alllll night looooong.

    There's something especially foul about murdering a priest,nun, reverend,ect. I don't doubt for a minute that Father Robert's fate was a grisly one.

    Obviously not everyone is worth trying to help or can be saved. Murray being a star example. Sick,sick,worthless,useless fuck.

    Thanks and welcome, MexMe. From the link you shared:

    Missing Florida priest, 71, is found dead in Georgia after suspect caught driving reverend's stolen car leads police to his body

    A 71-year-old Florida Roman Catholic priest missing since last week has been found dead in Georgia, police said Monday night.

    The body of the Rev. Rene Wayne Robert was found in Waynesboro after the man arrested while driving the priest's car led police there, St. Johns County Sheriff David Shoar said at a news conference.

    Steven James Murray, 28, was arrested Wednesday night in Aiken, S.C., with numerous weapons in the St. Augustine-based priest's car.*

    Shoar said he expects Murray will be charged with first-degree murder and kidnapping.

    The sheriff said motive was unclear at this point but the Franciscan priest had tried to help Murray, who the sheriff characterized as a 'career criminal,' after he was recently released from jail.

    Investigators think Robert was killed April 10, the last night he was seen.*

    A cause of death has yet to be determined, but Shoar said 'it was obvious he was the victim of homicidal violence.'

    An emotional Shoar called Robert a dear friend and described the investigation as the most intense of his career.

    'I just really wish we had better news tonight,' he said.

    Murray has been charged with aggravated fleeing and attempting to elude related to his arrest.

    Aiken County Sheriff's spokesman Eric Abdullah wrote in a statement that deputies and U.S. marshals responded to Murray's last known location Wednesday afternoon.

    As they approached the 2012 blue Toyota Corolla with Florida license plates, Murray drove away and crashed into a tree, then fled on foot, Abdullah wrote.

    Bloodhounds and a helicopter tracked Murray down and he was arrested, according to the statement.

    Records don't indicate whether he's hired an attorney to contact for comment on the case.

    Not a surprising outcome, but sad nonetheless. I don't have any respect/acknowledgement of the religious position he held, but I can certainly respect anyone trying to help their fellow human beings out. What a senseless waste!

    "Murray's father, Bobby James Murray, 53, was arrested Wednesday in Jacksonville for indecent exposure. He is accused of masturbating in a pool lounge chair with several children swimming nearby, police said."

    I had a feeling the outcome would be grim. So sad that trying to help someone cost the priest his life.

    The priest worked with criminals. He did counseling. The police believe he was trying to help Murray. Sounds like Murray kidnapped the priest, took him to GA in the priest's car and then killed him.

    I guess Murray's statement to the press makes it all better.
    As he left a Burke County, Ga. court Wednesday, Murray told CBS affiliate WJAX he has mental problems and "lost control of myself. I apologize," he said.

    "Very sorry. If anybody loves Father Rene, they'll forgive me because he was a man of God and forgiveness is forgiveness," Murray told the station.

    When asked by reporters what he had to say to his children and the priest's family, Murray said, "Please forgive me."

    Well as long as he's sorry... *rolls eyes*

    And how dare he say that anyone who loves Father Rene should forgive him. What a piece of shit.

    OMG! Thank goodness the death penalty is in place in FL. Not totally for it unless you have a case like this with a deranged moron who decided to take the life of a wonderful man in the Jax community.

    1. The victim himself wouldn't want the killer to receive the death penalty. The Catholic Church are deeply opposed to the practice.

    2. Killing the killer isn't going to make the priest any less dead. And, no murderous shit has ever refrained from murdering on account of the death penalty per se. Why not just put him in prison for a really long time? That will be an equally good deterrent in practice, it would be an outcome the victim would've approved of and it won't brutalise the actual human beings involved with the actual killing of another human being in the name of the state.

    If you say so? Maybe I should have added 'IMO', but I thought that was kinda implied.

    It's all good - everyone has their own opinions, which is what makes things interesting. Welcome, Pigna. I like you are not afraid to speak your mind. You will fit in nicely.

    Thanks. I didn't mean to sound arrogant. Just saying what I think, no problem with people thinking differently to me, I just talk when I'm interested.

    Man accused of killing St. Augustine priest attempts suicide in jail

    (May 31, 2016) Steven James Murray, the man accused of killing St. Augustine priest Rene Robert, attempted to hang himself Tuesday evening at the Burke County, Georgia, jail, according to Burke County Sheriff Greg Coursey.

    Murray was taken to Burke County Medical Center about 6:30 p.m. and was later returned to jail. Coursey said Murray tried to hang himself with a bed sheet.

    "He's been upset that smoking isn't allowed in the jail," Coursey said. "He keeps asking to smoke a cigarette."

    Murray, 28, was taken into custody April 13. The body of the Rev. Rene Robert, who had been missing, was found April 18 in a wooded area in the northern part of Burke County.

    According to Coursey, Murray will remain on suicide watch at the jail.

    I'm not religious whatsoever, either, but I was raised Catholic and the priests I met while in college (Catholic university) were all great people who I admired. So, yes, I agree, murdering a priest seems like a special kind of evil to me.

    I clicked on this thread initially because Rene Robert is the name of one of my favorite hockey players.

    Word. Me no likey religion, but particularly elderly religious types/figures, I will never poke at - they've been raised in a different time, I get it. KILLING someone in general, wtf - killing someone who seemingly hasn't fucked with anyone and dedicated their life to a omnipotent being? Horrid. In so many ways.
