A death wish, once in custody, is not unusual among compulsive killers. Carroll Edward Cole, admitted murderer of thirteen persons, was securely serving out a term of life in Texas, with parole a possibility in seven years, when he elected voluntarily to face a pair of murder charges in Nevada, fully conscious of the fact that he would be condemned to die upon conviction. Once the sentence had been passed, facilitated by his guilty plea, Cole staunchly fended off appeals and efforts of assorted liberal groups to interpose themselves on his behalf. His execution, in December 1985, immediately paved the way for others in the Western states, but Cole's significance lies else…

Freeform announced this evening that Shadowhunters will conclude after its current third season. The sad news comes midway through Season 3, which is slated to return with its remaining episodes next spring. Part of the announcement also included a small silver lining in the form of a confirmed two-episode finale special. It is not clear if this will be part of the 12 episodes still left in the show's existing 22-episode order, or if it will air in addition to that. Either way, this gives the show's writers an opportunity to craft a proper ending to the series. Based on Cassandra Clare's best-selling The Mortal Instrumentsbooks, the series follows a young girl w…

Peter William Sutcliffe was the first of six children born to John and Kathleen Sutcliffe, on 2 June 1946, in Bingley, Yorkshire. As a boy he was reserved, and preferred spending time with his mother, finding it difficult to make friends at school, and he was often bullied.

NBC announced today that it is increasing its order for Brooklyn Nine-Nine, adding five episodes to the comedy's debut outing on the network. Slated for a mid-season run in 2018-2019, the half-hour series will now air a total of 18 episodes rather than the originally-planned 13. It was back in May that the network saved the series just one day after it was cancelled by Fox after five seasons. Though the quick revival came as somewhat of a surprise, the move to NBC does make sense, as the network had originally expressed interest in the show back in 2012 while it was searching for a home. Led by Saturday Night Live alum Andy Samberg, Brooklyn Nine-Nine follows an…

It was announced today that Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will be coming to an end after its already-ordered seventh season. The timing of news, which comes midway through Season 6, gives showrunners plenty of time to craft a proper ending to the veteran drama. Premiering back in 2013, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is the longest-running series set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. At over 100 episodes, its lengthy run has been impressive by any standards. Like most shows of this age, its current ratings leave a lot to be desired, but its core audience still gives it decent numbers in its Friday night time slot, where it moved to in Season 5. Look for the seventh and…

There will be no fourth season of AMC and Channel 4 series Humans.

Not much of Karl Denke’s early life has been recorded aside from the fact that he was a terrible student and ran away from home at age 12. 25 years old when his father died, Karl used the inheritance to buy property in the small town of Münsterberg - today known as Ziębice - about 60km south of Wrocław. In Münsterberg, Karl was known as a generous, caring and devout local citizen, even referred to by some as ‘Vater Denke’ or Father Denke. He carried the cross at Evangelist funerals and played the organ during church services. Despite living a lower middle-class lifestyle, he helped beggars and travellers, giving them a place to stay if they were in need. He didn’t drink a…

Mortensen stated that he would have liked to participate, and that Jackson had approached him about possibly appearing in the first installment, "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.", but he said "It simply didn't pan out that way". Mortensen said "I'm not in it unless there is some last-minute plan they have. But I thought I would have heard of it by now,".
