Just wanted to let everyone know that a member of the site here has been accused of murder in Australia last week.

He was also a member of Facebook, Youtube, League of Legends, and countless other sites, but the fact that he was also a member here, it may get more coverage in the news.

Vincent went by the name "quetzalcoalt" here, and was not very active. Think he has like seven posts.

The story is tragic, and a beautiful girl named Stephanie Scott allegedly lost her life because of him. Truly a sad situation.

According to the news he was really in to Nazi stuff and anything relating to the Waffen-SS as well. A lot of news places are also saying he was really into violent video games, like they are trying to make some link there.

Police discovered the body of a female in bushland on Friday afternoon
Stephanie Scott was last seen on Easter Sunday which sparked a search

• Marcus's brother, Vincent, has already been charged over Ms Scott's death

The brother of Vincent Stanford, who has been charged with the alleged murder of Leeton school teacher Stephanie Scott, has been has been arrested in relation to her death.
New South Wales and South Australia detectives arrested Marcus Stanford at his home in Forreston, north-east of Adelaide, at 6.55am on Wednesday.
The 24-year-old will appear before Mount Barker Magistrates Court on Wednesday where his extradition will be sought by NSW Police.
Once in NSW, he is expected to be charged with being an alleged accessory after the fact in connection with the murder of Ms Scott.

Update :The “callous” and “disturbed” killer Vincent Stanford had three other female targets he stalked before he acted on his evil impulses and murdered Leeton teacher Stephanie Scott.

The extent of his obsession with the three females — which included a 12-year-old girl — were revealed by Justice Robert Allan Hulme as he sentenced Stanford to life in jail at a special sitting of the Supreme Court in Griffith on Thursday.

The 12-year-old was given the pseudonym of Joanne to protect her identity. When he was arrested for Ms Scott’s murder 1805 images he had secretly-taken of the child were discovered.

Justice Hulme said when he was interviewed by police he confessed he wanted to kidnap the girl.

“He wanted to abduct Joanne but managed to control that urge. If he had abducted her he probably would have killed her.”

Police seized an exercise book with the offender’s name on the front cover. “The book contains extensive notes relating to surveillance conducted of her, including times she left the house for ballet and school and when she returned; when the house was empty; and when she was home alone.”

But she wasn’t the only one.

Justice Hulme said Stanford had also stalked two other women, including a friend of Ms Scott and a woman who worked at a local supermarket.

Stanford was found to have tried to find details about the supermarket worker online and photographed her vehicle.

The searches on her increased about the same time, in late march 2015, he struck up two conversations with her.

The life sentence handed to Stanford means the 25-year-old will die in jail for what the judge said was a murder of great “heinousness”.

Stanford, who had been a cleaner at Leeton High where Ms Scott worked, did not look at the judge as he read out the shocking facts of the case.
Justice Hulme said Stanford showed no emotion when talking about his crimes and there was “not the slightest hint of remorse”.

His conduct after the murder was just as disturbing and revealed how “conniving, callous and self interested” Stanford was.

The fact Ms Scott’s DNA was found on items in Stanford’s room, including handcuffs and lubricant, supported the “sinister notion” the murder involved premeditation, the judge found.

Given Stanford had search “bride rape” online, Justice Hulme said he could not discount the fact Ms Scott may have been a target before their paths crossed on April 5.

Ms Scott was at the school that day preparing lessons for her students to complete while she was on her honeymoon.

The judge said Stanford may have gone home and retrieved the lubricant and handcuffs when he saw Ms Scott and realised his “opportunity”.

He began online searches for the vile content months before he raped and killed Ms Scott on April 5 last year, but the majority of “bride” searches occurred while he was working casually at Leeton High School.

“By the offender’s own account, he beat her a number of times into unconsciousness … He then produced a knife to stab her to make sure he achieved his goal,” Justice Hulme said.

He said it was an extreme “brutal” attack that involved up to 40 blows to the head in under a minute.

Earlier this week, Stanford’s sentencing hearing was told the 25-year-old cleaner searched online about violent assaults including “bride rape” and “bride kidnapping” weeks before he attacked Ms Scott.

He told police in a chilling interview he was “emotionless” and not angry at Ms Scott, but as soon as he saw her in the staffroom working he “had to kill her”.

Ms Scott was killed by “blunt force trauma” to the head after Stanford attacked her from behind and dragged her to a storeroom where he unleashed a furious assault on her, in which he later confessed to police “I went a little nuts”.

It was revealed this week Stanford had harboured thoughts of killing someone since he was seven years old.

Justice Hulme was in doubt the killing fell within the “worst category”.

“The attack was one of extreme brutality by a man of substantial size ... on a defenceless young woman of modest size that had no means of escape or raising the alarm.

Outside court, Ms Scott’s mother Merrilyn Scott said the last 18 months had been “harrowing”.
“So much has been taken away from us. Stephanie has had everything taken away from her,” she said.
Her daughter “embodied all that was good about human kind”.

“She made a tangible difference to the lives of so many people. Stephanie would want us to resume our lives,” she said.

At the sentencing hearing on Tuesday, Mrs Scott said her daughter was only days away from beginning a “beautiful” life with fiance Aaron Leeson-Woolley when she was killed.

She told of wondering if Stephanie was aware what was going to happen to her.

“Did she see the knife? Did she see his fists as he beat her to oblivion?” Mrs Scott said.

She spoke of the heartbreaking days after Stephanie’s charred remains were found and how the family gathered with Leeton locals for a picnic to celebrate her life on what was supposed to be her wedding day.

Instead of beginning her life journey with Mr Leeson-Woolley, she was “alone” in the morgue and about to begin a journey to the coroner in Sydney.

Mrs Scott told of standing in a room “full of coffins” trying to pick one for her daughter who was at the height of her “happiness and loveliness”.

When they finally got her body back she was so damaged the “body bag wasn’t to be opened”, another blow for her loved ones who were desperate to see her one more time.

Stanford’s identical twin brother Marcus has already been sentenced to 15 months jail for being an accessory after the fact to murder by pawning two of Ms Scott’s rings, including her engagement ring for $705.

His former employer has revealed the Tasmanian-born cleaner had trouble reading social situations and would hardly ever speak.

'He is a big guy and exceptionally strong. I think it is part of his condition. If he shut a tap even my husband could not open it again,' Dutch business owner Mireille Antonisse said.

'You would have to shout for him to come back.

'Later on his colleagues nicknamed him King Kong because he could lift two crates with one hand like it was nothing.'

Stanford initially came work for Mrs Antonisse and her husband, Richard, at their industrial cleaning company after leaving school and quitting his job on a cargo barge at the age of 17.

The couple claim they were told by his mother he suffered from autism.

The picture appears on what appears to be an identification card issued in Holland when lived there during his childhood

They resolved to help him and read up on the disorder on Google.

The Antonisses claim Stanford initially struggled with normal social behaviour.

'He was monosyllabic. On a 15-mile car journey he would not speak,' Mr Antonisse remembered.

'If a client had a problem and spoke to him he just wouldn't answer he would just look at the ground.'

Mr Antonisse also claimed Stanford struggled with personal hygiene, leading clients to complain about the smell.

'He sweated so much and it smelled of s***. He didn't shave or wash or wear deodorant. I had to teach him to do all that and buy him deodorant. His armpits were like Bob Marley,' Mr Antonisse told Daily Mail Australia.

But gradually their interest made him more socially competent. He passed his driving licence and became 'a really hard worker'.

The couple claim Stanford showed traits of autism such as disliking when his routine was changed.

Shite.... I come here to help keep my mind in order...looks like some are at the opposite end of the scale.

I didn't know him, but if he harmed and murdered that girl I hope he dies fucking slowly and painfully.
