Not the Right Way to "Get Away from it All"

This has got to be the oddest pull quote that I have seen in a while:

A man accused of murdering two teenaged girls 30 years ago says he raped two women so he could get away from the world and think.

That quote is from an article about the Bonisteel trial in Canada. The first thing that struck me about this article is that the guy says he was depressed and wanted to be put away for a while. So rather then seek some help, he goes and totally ruins the lives of two people, not to mention the fact that he actually killed a couple of other people. The other thing that really strikes me from this article is that Bonisteel seems to have a rather indifferent attitude towards his crimes.

Does Canada have a death penalty? It is people like this who really deserve it.
