Tabak showed little emotion. Lead away with ead bowed and hands held together in front of him

Now we know why the CPS wouldn't except a manslaughter plea.
They had his background info!

Let's hope they throw away the key. So tragic that someone had to die before he was locked up.

Sky News
Police sending Tabaks DNA to Holland for potential matches to other sex attacks.

WOW, thanks for the info girls........what a turnup!!!!! Didn"t his girlfriend have an inkling of what he was really like? Of course the Court
couldn"t tell the Jury about all this ancillary information or they would have voted 12.0 for Murder immediately.

I wondered if he used to 'pretend' to strangle her and thats what made her phone the police but it was said outside court, they had a 'normal' relationship. He was obviously very sneaky! I feel sorry for his girlfriend, can you imagine living with him and not knowing what he was doing secretly.

Good. Glad it's over and Tabak has been removed from society.

I wonder where else he lived apart from Newcastle, Bristol and Holland?

What must his Family be feeling like wjk, they have to face neighbours and at the very beginning some of his friends from UNI in Holland
were organising a Fund to help with his Legal Fees. I also feel sorry for Jo"s family and Greg. Still , as wintabells says, he got his comeuppance.

Sordid sex life of killer revealed

Vincent Tabak will serve a life term with a 20-year minimum sentence for the murder of Joanna Yeates
Vincent Tabak turned from sordid voyeur to murderer after becoming obsessed with images of women being strangled during sex, it can be revealed.

He also paid a prostitute having trawled escort and violent pornography websites in the weeks before throttling Joanna Yeates.

Detectives discovered his perversions had chilling parallels with how he killed his next-door neighbour. Footage found on his laptops depicted women tied up in car boots - just as Miss Yeates's body was temporarily left after she died.

Three pictures also showed a blonde woman in a pink T-shirt and jeans closely resembling Miss Yeates on the night of her death.

Tabak, 33, who never had a proper relationship until he met Tanja Morson online, was accused of misleading jurors by portraying himself as sexually inexperienced.

His depraved secrets were not heard by jurors trying him for murder. But detectives privately believe he killed the 25-year-old in a bid to re-enact his violent perversions.

Tabak paid for sex with a call girl while on a business trip to Los Angeles less than two weeks before killing Miss Yeates, officers found.

In the weeks after the murder, Tabak searched "Jo Yeates" on Google minutes before logging on to view several home-made sex videos. On the morning of her death Tabak logged on to a pornographic website and while there was no evidence of a sex attack on Miss Yeates, police believe he was aroused and gaining sexual gratification from the killing.

Nigel Lickley QC, who made two failed applications to include the evidence in the prosecution case, told Bristol Crown Court how pornography depicting violence was found "in a series of films". Mr Lickley sought permission to tell the jury about Tabak's secret life because he said the Dutchman had created a "false impression".

"In fact the defendant is sexually experienced beyond his relationship with Miss Morson in the sense that he has accessed websites allowing him to seek out women that he could pay, and we submit, did pay for sex," the barrister said.

Oh yes, I feel so, so sorry for her family and Greg.
His siblings were in court earlier this week, I saw one brother on Sky news. I wonder if they were in court for the verdict today and heard his background for the first time?

10 found him guilty off murder.....2 didn't.


With all the evidence against him........very worrying.

Indeed. Wonder how they felt when they heard the 'other' evidence.
