The emergency phone operators in the UK are so talented. She spoke to him in such a way that made him keep admitting to more stuff. You can tell she's a bit nervous but she's very good at hiding it. I hope she got recognition for her great job
The 999 operator is my hero - she was so good!! I don’t know how she handled it so well under those circumstances
Well said.
This one was good. But I can show you several true crime incidents where the 999 operators were horrendous. It’s not country specific, there are just people who suck at their job regardless where geographically.
She is the best I've ever heard on these true crime stories. Some of the ones here in the USA are really rude on the phone. She was calm and professional and asked good questions.
And she made sure in her way he understood exactly what he was saying even the number of stabs excellent job
As a person with major mental health issues (CPTSD, anxiety, severe depression), it makes me so angry when people think it's a "get out of jail free" card for horrific actions. Mental health problems aren't your fault, but they ARE your responsibility. Turning down all treatment, especially in this day and age when it's gotten a lot better, stigma-wise, and then being like "OMG, not my fault! Bad stuff happened to me!" is complete BS.
👍👍👍
👏 as a fellow person who also suffers with mental health issues I couldn’t agree more. Very fustrating.
Get out of JOB card, if you are a retard? You should be locked up.
I agree!
I didn't hear him attempt to try get off due to his mental health issues. He called 999, admitted to what he did, expressed regret, said he was disgusted with himself while on the stand, and even said he should be punished for what he did. Sometimes those suffering with things like PTSD and depression suffer alone and don't seek out help.
Two young children left without their parents because of a dispute over a parking space. I have no words to describe how much my heart breaks for these two boys.
Heartbreaking. There was a case in Pakistan where a rich spoilt idiot shot and k*lled a guy over parking and then continued to abuse his family to drop charges. He tried buying his way out of court but luckily was found guilty of murder
Buying two cars and then take the neighbors' parking spot and then refuse to budge and continue to fight them over it thereon? That was some scum shit they did and paid the price with their lives,
@@realtalk6195Nice try loser.
@@realtalk6195They weren't parking in the neighbours bay though. Also, victim blaming?
@@soullessbunny666My understanding is that they were blocking Collins entry into his parking bay by parking on the street in front of his bay. They didn’t deserve to be murdered for it, but it is unacceptable behaviour all the same.
Imagine as a child going to bed and feeling loved and safe. Then wakening up to this. My heart goes out to all of their innocent children💔
Like Gaza?
Exactly 💯
I had to tell my two young children that their dad had died in the night. Natural causes, but it was so horrible.
@@haqq1234who cares
@@haqq1234 ask allah, blame allah, you and gazan pray to allah, yet allah hidin somewhere, chikenout.
…all things considered, I believe that the 999 operator was excellent. She really got information clearly and concisely. Kept the killer engaged and not defensive.
Certainly.
Agreed
Absolute professional. Amazing work.
Who s 999 a sex hotline or something
Yes, one of the best operators I have heard, despite hearing something so shocking, she kept calm and professional to do the job she was meant to do. Very well done.
Finally...neighbors that hear screams and actually DO something about it! If anyone let the murderer down it was his parents...his abusive father and failure-to-protect mother...who just needs to sit down, shut up, and accept her role in this tragedy.
Nope. He didn't murder people when he was a sane person. Obviously, he lost his mind after coming from Afganistan. He is severely mentally ill and traumatized 😔 He had an exaggerated response to what was upsetting him because he has PTSD.
I agree with this so much. When I heard what she said about the army letting him down and his mental health, I was like "hold on, what about his traumatic childhood with you and staying with a man Abusing you and your child?". It's started from childhood then when he chose the army, things further escalated!
The army is a place I don't want any of my close family or children to ever join because the majority of men nd women who join and fight in warzones know they done and seen things surely with innocent people or even 'enemies' killed or treated in the most inhumane ways. Coming back to the UK or leaving the army hoping you'd forget about what happened, witnessed or did, is a reality many can't escape!!
Right. You said it way better then I could. That’s what I was trying to say. She played a role in this. She needs to think about her part and accept it. Poor families. ♥️
"Failure to protect mother" - what an odious and dismissive statement. Because as everyone knows, women are stronger than men and his mother wasn't being abused herself.
not before they wasted time by sending text messages around...texting they "maybe predator" if everything is ok is so dumb...if he writes back "yes"...they would have never checked on them
Amazing how calm the emergency operator was. She got all the information in a cool and non- judgmental manner.
They are trained to detach themselves from any horrific incident and to remain calm.
To be fair, he wasn't stood in front of her with a dagger.
She was fantastic!
I met a dutch couple who were travelling the UK on holiday. I was parked up in a lay by and told them I didn't want to go home due to my neighbour causing me harassment over parking rights given to me on his planning Consent.
They told me that in Holland they have a judge that travelled the country to preside over neighbour disputes and his rulings were legally binding...... this is what we could do with.
Mr frank visser de rijdende rechter
But the Dutch fight a lot thats why they have they. They will fight over a twig blocking their window then the whole tree must get cut down . The Dutch are mostly NOT like UK. i thought only Black and Brown people knifing each other. Thats what i get from Dutch people all crimes are contributed to Black people lol. So you see this is a parking space but White against White so it happens. And the wounds or these people is horrific such a drama . They could have thought about their children never to argue with neighbours because in UK they knife you
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that if your husband goes next door and stabs the neighbors, maybe your first call shouldn't be to his mother.
Totally agree. The knife was gone, he had mental issues and was pi$$ about a parking space. No way she didn’t know he was stewing over that. I’d be ringing the police.
Yes exactly right as soon as she saw the dagger missing she should have dialled 999.
It absolutely breaks my heart that so many lives were destroyed over…what? a parking incident! This haunts me.😢
Well, idk if I'd say it was because of the parking situation. That man was going to snap, regardless.
@@atlasbonds6095 yes I agree with you. Once again, the red lights of serious mental health issues were not attended to. At the same time, that ugly exchange the two of them had over parking, where he called her fat,and f* you’s were exchanged. So brutal. Come on! Seek a solution!
It’s rarely that simple. Something small will trigger underlying issues, long standing frustrations, pent up rage...combine that with people who can’t communicate or resolve conflict effectively.
It’s tragic that things can get to this level.
Agree.
All the 2 couples had to do was sit down and negotiate or talk about their differences. Then come to some sort of agreement.
Lives were needlessly lost over something as trivial as a parking space. RIP to the couple who lost their lives.
That's really minimizing the complexity of this situation all around.
That is by far the most professional operator I've ever heard. Great job missus.
I give that 999 operator big props! She not only kept her composure and got as many details as she could while keeping the perp calm but she was also very respectful to him as well! I don't think I could've done that. I would've been calling him names and asking him "WTF DUDE?!?!!!?"
Kudos to her!! Based just off this 1 call, she deserves a raise!
They are ALL trained like that in the UK, she is one of many.🇬🇧
His mother blames everyone but never mentions how she is responsible for raising her children in an abusive home instead of protecting them.
yeah, it's societies fault not hers.
👀 No coincidence that shortly after these brutal killings, the wife's first instinct was to phone his mother. I sure wouldn't be confiding in mommy dearest that my killer husband did "a stupid thing". That was the most surreal part of the incident to me.
Alicia B-G, I agree with you to a certain extent, these abused women continue to stay with their abuser which definitely affects the children. But that’s still victim blaming; that POS abuser is to blame. And, guess what? Often times the abuser was abused as a child, the cycle continues. Yeah, the abuse he got as a child mixed with PTSD from his service had created a monster.
@@summersojourner we have to stop chastising others when responsibility is put where it belongs. I know what it is to be physically and mentally abused by a husband while at a very young age (19 years old until 23 years old) and with little children, I know it all too well. I know what it is to leave the man knowing that I'd have to live in the streets but that, at least, me and my children would be safe. I don't want to be rude but I'm tired of these nonsense terminologies like "victim blaming" or "victim shaming" because sugar-coating the truth is worse.
Killers do not kill specifically due to nature or nurture singular. It is a combination of “the perfect storm” where it can 50 of one & 50 of the other. So to say his mother should of admitted her responsibility in this I feel is misplaced & a slightly more separate issue to be addressed.
To brutally stab two ppl to death over a few inches of parking space has to be the most disturbing thing I've ever heard! Two kids orphaned because of something so petty is beyond tragic....
Agreed!
Petty on both sides. She should have parked in a way that would let him use his space, even if it meant parking down further. Does that justify what he did? No, of course not! But given the way he was reacting, she might have wisely chosen to act with a bit more caution.
That's the worst case of road rage I ever heard. People crazy about parking spaces. They really think they own it.
@@saga2964 Seriously? It appears he'd been pissed off because they'd parked their two small cars right behind the other in their single car-space & was overhanging the line by about half a foot, even though they'd been considerate by parking well over to the left to give the neighbour more room!
@@stevie-ray2020 he was a angry unhappy man..
I bet he was jealous of the happy family next door and this parking issue was an excuse to vent his anger.
I feel so sorry for the victims in this story.
999 operators in the UK are so good. I've called them twice in my life. Thankfully never for anything even close to this kind of situation. Both times the operator was warm, caring and understanding. They don't get enough credit in my opinion. Listening to some emergency dispatchers in various countries where they can be dismissive, unsympathetic and even flippant makes me value them even more x
There is thin veneer of respectability in society. If you want to see how human beings really behave then look at something as simple as a parking space dispute, or a shortage of any item in the shops. Mankind is definitely the most deadly animal on earth.
Yep..trust me they are from personal experience. U can begin to spot signs to, of bullies and scum ,but many are so sick they don't exhibit or feel guilt or remorse so it's impossible to read them
Parasites on earth.
@james you are spot on there mate.
Spot on
This is why I don't get close to people. People bring nothing but problems. I like my own company and the peace that comes with it.
It’s always a risk but life without risk is boring. Most people are not this insane.
Yes!!! I have nothing to do with my neighbors I say hello to the odd one if I see them but that's it,I don't have anyone in my home
I can cope with my own company too, silence really is golden!
Yes I’m a loner through choice too people are dog shit generally
Amen.
This is reminder of how someone can blow something out of proportion, and turn murderous. Its so important to choose your battles, and ask yourself if its worth it. because you never know how a person is gonna react.
Well. Apart from your comment sounding like victim-blaming (I mean, the VICTIMS are responsible for them being murdered? 😒🤔), the point of this entire thing is NOT AT ALL about the parking situation. That Collin guy must've had a serious impulse control disorder, and possibly other issues.
If it hadn't been for the parking issue, it would've been for something else, later on.
I mean... 🤔
Maybe. I probably wouldn’t want to die over a parking space but it’s still pretty unclear as to who instigated the issue. It’s not unreasonable for the guy to want access to his parking space.
Not unreasonable to want access to the car space but murder is not the answer. Plenty of neighbourhood disputes about car spaces that don’t end in murder. The perpetrator was an unhinged nutbag who was aware of his mental issues and didn’t do anything about addressing them in a healthy manner. And the fact he was a parent is even worse- talk about not being a great role model for your kids. Hey kids.. when things don’t go your way, just stab others to death.. problem solved 🤦🏽♀️
You're speaking as an emotionally healthy person. Those with mental health issues do not think that way.
Whatever the case, as a grown adult, I’d say a parking space is not a legitimate thing to argue over so viciously and certainly not an excuse for murder.
Its scary that you can never tell how dangerous someone in your neighborhood is until its to late.
Thats why you should keep to yourself like I do
I think they knew, she said she was afraid he could kill them if the issues with the parking continued, the problem is that police didn’t do much
This 999 operator was just excellent, very calm and professional, gathering the information needed without any reaction.
Great operator. Didn't tell him "calm down" which is so infuriating to hear repeatedly when there is a 911 emergency. Instead, she told him to take a deep breath and she got as much information for the medics etc ...and future court case.... as possible.
Yeah, all the info except "why did you stab them?" !!! Kind of a biggie
@@_HimToo that's not her place to ask. She was there to get key information and attempt to get the situation under control
He already admitted to killing them. The rest is the police and courts job..
She was supposed to ask why did he stab the neighbours… it’s crucial information that is best obtained as soon as possible as offenders tend to change their stories after they speak to lawyers etc
@@joshtheplaya2177 It really was not exigent that she ask that. He'd already admitted he'd done it.
@@_HimToo that’s not the job of emergency workers. they need to save lives. the police can ask “why” later
Colin's mom blaming everyone else for the guilt she feels is sad but insulting to the families of the deceased, if she truly had any decency, she wouldn't be arguing about her son's justified sentence, she would spend her time helping ppl like him to ensure it doesn't happen again
Exactly! It’s ironic given that based on the horrible domestic violence 😅her son endured under his parents’ roof, she and especially her husband are absolutely responsible for some, if not all, of Collin’s psych issues! Look in the mirror lady! He spent far more time with you than in the Army!
@@oldcollegecoed Words like "ironic" and "iconic": No one seems to know what they mean, but everyone's determined to use them anyway.
Even Ted Bundy's mother said "But he was always such a GOOD boy!" (seriously, that's a quote from her) 🤮 Some mothers simply aren't wired to accept their children's misdeeds. I don't have kids, but I'd like to think I'd be like my own parents, so my kids would know if they committed a crime or did something evil, that Mama is going to drive your sorry behind to the sheriff dept... not so much to confess, but to protect them from the much deserved parental ass beating i will be giving them.
@@oldcollegecoed I should have used that one on my MIL when she complained about her son!
@@eadweard. what's your point exactly?because I do not see one and your comment doesn't even fit as it is very ironic that he turned out loony tunes because of his mother🤦🤷🤦🤷
Wow, much respect for the 999 operator! She kept him calm and talking
So impressed with the 999 operator. She spoke in a calm non judgmental tone and made Collin feel comfortable admitting what he did. Bravo
While I do think there were underlying mental problems that led to him snapping, I fully agree with the court that it did not amount to a case of diminished responsibility. He waited 20 minutes to call 999, yet he still recalled details of the incident to the operator, but then when he got to the station he started to forget? I think he was putting on an act. Also, if you yourself recognise that you are not 'right' and are telling your wife that you are struggling, and she tells you to seek professional help, but you choose not to, you need to take responsibility for choosing to not seek help.
Genius 🙄
Most psychotic, paranoid, unbalanced, abused, depressed people do not seek medical help.. how many suicides could be prevented if they did? 🤔
It shows a lack of understanding to say that this person could make the right decision for himself..
@@Jkaye13 He was an abuser. Actively. No longer abused. As someone with PTSD from abuse, I can say you are wrong. You get help. And if you don't and start abusing people instead, you are fully doing that knowing what it's like and deserve no sympathy from the legal system. I've never ever had a moment of wanting to murder people over a parking spot. It's not a PTSD thing.
Stop trying to defame all who suffer from PTSD or survived abuse by saying we aren't able to make decisions or not be killers. Ugh.
@@mdiddio ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@mdiddio same. Men are less likely to seek help. Which others pay for. Poor kids have no parents cause he didn't want be put on medication. Selfish.
His mom trying to downplay his actions are great insight into how he became such a monster that night.
@Melissa
While this is true and Collin Reeves was way off his rocker, JENNIFER just had to keep poking the bear.
She had no right to park her car in a way that hinders any other tenant in that Housing Complex. She should have went to the Estate Manager and made alternative arrangements.
Not that she "deserved to get butchered", but, a little consideration on Jennifers' part could have led to a different ending.
I mean I imagine any mother would tend to want to downplay the actions of their child. Wrong or not. You might not like it, but you and people in your own family would probably be inclined to do the same.
She raised a monster but can’t admit it.
@@reallyrho1101
It is a shame that this was over a parking dispute
The doorbell cam footage shows tragic Jennifer Chapple, 33, days before she and IT teacher husband Stephen, 36, were stabbed inside their home after a feud with neighbours over parking.The couple were stabbed after an apparent parking row. ***Pictured: The victims' spot outside their home***
Yet, Jennifer could have been a wee bit more courteous to her neighbor and not blocked their car in.
Jennifer and her husband had TWO cars, the neighbor had one that she continually parked DIRECTLY in back of. Just how were they supposed to get out?
Yeah, "She didn't deserve to be butchered", along with her husband, however, Jennifer could have been far more considerate of her assigned parking rules per the Estate Management.
Exactly , everyone let him down … really so if it was that bad why didn’t his family highlight it to the mental health authorities , he’s just a piece of sht
Got to hand it to the emergency operator, she was so calm and got all the right information..these operators must hear some dreadful and shocking things. It's apparent that her training and thinking were amazing 👏
She was an absolute hero in how she handled him. I hope she was acknowledged.
As someone with CPTSD, anxiety and major depression, it makes me angry when criminals use mental health as an excuse. Yes, this guy has problems, but he refused help. Yes, it is sometimes very difficult to discuss one’s mental health. Took me months to admit to myself I needed help. But that still does not excuse a crime.
All over a bloody parking space. Shout out to the fantastic 999 operator who took Colin’s call.
You could of course just call her .
it wasnt just a parking space the man was a controlling bully
This is truly bizarre! Why did Collin make the effort to "sneak" into their house, trying to avoid the cameras and then calling the police to confess his crime? A senseless tragedy that destroyed the lives of so many people, especially the kids. RIP Jennifer & Stephen!
He clearly wasn't in the right frame of mind
I mean he might have been trying to avoid the victims' suspicions.
He Called because the other Neighbor seen him
It was only to cover his ass for his diminished
Capacity defense he mounted as clearly
Seen in the Trial
I agree with the possibilities posted by other comments on this post. I also wondered if he was in “killer mindset” while sneaking in, on a mission to get revenge for a parking argument, but then felt guilt after seeing what he had did.
*Sidenote,* just hearing this senseless murder stemmed from a fight over parking spaces sounded tragically ridiculous… Then I typed it out in my comment and it hit me even harder… Stephen and Jennifer’s children no longer have their mom and dad because of their disturber neighbor. My heart breaks for them! 😔
Because he knew what he was doing was wrong. But he didn't want to be stopped from doing it.
I lost my dad when I was 9. Even 13 years later, that was indubitably the worst day of my life.
I still remember the dread and sadness and the confusion because I was that young.
I cannot imagine the pain and heartache those poor boys have to go through for the rest of their lives. It wasn't their fault. It shouldn't have happened in the first place.
And my heart goes out to the Reeves daughters as well, since they lost a father, too.
With all due respect- Colin’s Mother is part of the issue-blaming anything & everything for her son committing the murders. (He did the same). He had ample opportunities & the ability to seek help but didn’t. I have yet to see someone diagnosed with depression taken off work for any length of time **unless there were extensive circumstances**.
As always thank you for doing a great job. This channel is thorough & provides facts.
As a former front line soldier with chronic PTSD, I know exactly what the feelings are. Over the years, the pain have eased. However, I have never been a violent person or had violent thoughts. My partner who has been wonderful and supportive, thinks I am the most gentle person on this earth. PTSD, though bad, has been taken out of context and used as a excuse for behaviour that has probably been hidden in people from the beginning. This is truly appalling behaviour of the evil kind. Those poor children has a life sentence.
People are just born murderers then?
I think his childhood, experiences in the military and his environment at the time made this man do those things.
I agree with you that it had been taken out of context and used by his defence.
@@florareinhold5876 It is the PTSD that caused this. He had an exaggerated response to what those inconsiderate people were doing to him by refusing him access to his own parking space because of the severe form of PTSD. He never left that battlefield in Afganistan and felt like he was still in danger. He was living in a state of extreme stress, hypervigilance and constant triggers. The man was mentally ill. He is not evil or a coward, like a lot of uninformed people call him in the comments section.
@@florareinhold5876 I had a severe form of PTSD for a couple of years, so I would know.
PTSD is highly individual. We tend to judge others according to our views and reactions. I'm not saying violence is excusable.
I agree and he was aware enough to answer 'no comment', no he understands what he did, he was pissed, turned town professional help and wanted an outlet for his anger. Thanks for your service, glad you have (and acknowledge) your wonderful partner.
If he can’t remember then how did he manage to call emergency services on himself and tell them exactly what he did. All I’m hearing is excuses from a violent man who knew exactly what he was doing and it’s disgusting. Those poor children 💔
Exactly my thoughts he just feigned mental illness to try for diminished responsibility when he got to the police station as he realised this could be a potential defence tactic now that he had more time to digest the consequences of his actions. And the mother is ridiculous saying Colin would never do such a thing after proven intimidation at Jennifer’s workplace and domestic abuse against his own wife also!
120 percent with you on your comment. My sentiments exactly. 👍👍👍
No, his wife even explained how he came home from Afghanistan as a different person. Unless you've dealt with PTSD, you probably can't relate. No doubt his experiences in they military probably triggered the memories of his traumatic childhood. Humans are complex.
100% thats why they excused the idea of mental health and also being oblivious to what happened. He definitely lied even though it may have not seemed like it. But as much shit u try to put around u, eventually the lies will weld together into what is truly the truth.
@@VioletJoy Fuck that. Not an excuse.
I'm with everyone else, that 999 operator was brilliant. She kept him calm and got very useful information from him. I was shocked at how empathetic and professional she was, it must have been a very difficult call to receive.
Colin's mother should have been as active at getting her kids away from abuse as she is at making excuses for her son's monstrous behavior. He committed two cold-blooded murders after weeks or months of bickering and threats. He knew what he was doing, knew it was wrong and did it anyway. He's right where he needs to be. My heart goes out to all of the children and even to his wife but he and his mother can eat dirt.
That was not Ccod blooded at all. The opposite is the case.
Oh wow, this case makes my heart hurt... those poor boys. May they always have loved ones around that knew their parents, and can tell them how wonderful they were, and how proud of their sons they know they would be. ❤️
First time hearing this case - how utterly devastating. Those poor children.
This has to be the best emergency operator I have ever heard. Very well done.
She was amazing
I have to say, I watch a lot of these types of video and this channel really is very, very good. Excellent narration, only factual information and all very straight forward. You should be very proud of what you have created.
I have PTSD anxiety and panic attacks, I was nearly killed twice as a young child by my own dad I was terribly abused, I’m sick of these sickos blaming it all on these very things. I wouldn’t dream of hurting anyone, one has to be evil or bat shat crazy to do this.
I hope you are doing OK!
Yeah I know what you mean don't blame the wrong people's
I'm so sorry for what you had to endure. I hope you're OK. May God bless you. 💖🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
They do the same with bipolar. I'm not saying criminals can't have mental health problems but they need to stop using that as a "trying to get out of jail free card"
You have had to cope with so much, you are so brave to come forward in this situation. God Bless You. I hope your future is fantastic full of great things surrounded with love
Adults acting like children. That's a big problem in my country as well.
Children would not act in this way
Why would you block your neighbor's driveway? I'd call the police on the neighbors to see what could be resolved.
Clearly they shouldn't be murdered for their rude stupidity, but they provoked the wrong guy.
Victim blaming ?
*That's* your takeaway from this case??
Agree
I dont think you can ever truly resolve this type of parking dispute in Britain, I fear the brainwashing the military does to people , PTSD, just bloody blown out of proportion , brits always act tough, especially when they have a chip on there shoulder
I used to teach one of his daughters. This was really devastating for her too. My heart goes out to everyone affected by this senseless, selfish act.
We forget the innocent family members of the perpetrators of such terrible crimes . So sad for his daughters
Nevermind his family... the victims family are the ones that matter
@@tatsnneeps341well those girls didn't choose for themselves to be the daughters of an evil murderer. The kids are innocent
His daughter's are victims of this crime too. Innocent bystanders who are suffering because adults couldn't adult over a parking space.
@@tatsnneeps341the kids didn’t do anything, they’ve lost their dad too. It was devastating for all the kids involved. Though the two poor kids that lost their parents having to move away and lose all their friends too was deeply upsetting.
He knew what he was doing, he called the police and confessed to killing them, it was only when he got to the police station that he started setting it up to claim ptsd.
the psychiatrist claimed ptsd, not him.
I have a feeling he was advised by his father to take this route.
I have no doubt that he had ptsd, but, regardless, that doesn't mean he isn't responsible. He made no effort to get well, and even if he had, he would still have been responsible for his own actions. We all are.
@@carolynbridgeman5981 he is not sane, for fs! He is insane! PTSD made him snap. And he was probably not sleeping because of it, which will make matters 10 times worse.
You're a complete idiot. Read a book about PTSD sometime!
The way you've slowly revealed information and built for us the story of what had happened, is seriously pro level. Thanks for sharing your work!
As a mother myself I’m shocked by his mother! He killed 2 innocent people, he was in the right mind. He’s a killer and a psychopath. These killers should be in prison forever! No excuse for killing knowingly innocent people!
What a monster!! Those poor babies have to grow up without mum and dad 😔
This is crazy how little disagreements over parking can turn into murder. And all while the kids are asleep upstairs I hope he never gets freedom.
@@hannahreynolds7611 while that’s true, it’s the fact he just thought in that moment, murder was the best option. Like it was as easy as flicking a light switch on and off.
@@shaungardner9623 Exactly
I will make one adjustment; Colin didn't enlist into the Royal Engineers, he enlisted into the Royal Marines (9yrs is no mean time especially tours) and became a Engineer; there's only one job in the Marines as an Engineer and that's as a sapper; frontline demo work. As someone who suffers from PTSD myself, when I read up on Colin he has all the hallmarks of suffering a PTSD episode; previous signals of paranoia, dillusion; which ultimately ended up with taking out the threat. It's frightening really to think of all the young highly skilled men who have been trained to kill walking around the UK streets since Afghanistan and Iraq ready to bust. I am very sorry to the Chapple family and maybe they can sue the British government for not looking after former servicemen & women who suffer from this debilitating condition and who then wreck havoc; no one wants to live with PTSD, and people shouldn't have to live beside it, while the government doesn't do enough to help ex-servicemen. This is a heart wrenching story and one that's bound to repeat in the UK again and again. Kind regards.
My feelings precisely! It's disgusting how veterans all over the world are just left to their own devices. The governments should be sued if one of these ppl snap and do what Colin did, or worse. These ppl need help.
You don't have to serve overseas in a war zone to get PTSD. His case was terrible, but he chose not to get help. He chose to abuse alcohol instead, which can also make you paranoid. For a tough military man (btw, I'm ex-army) he behaved like a toddler when things didn't go his way. What a dangerous combination. He's responsible for his own actions as the prosecutor, the judge and jury determined.
@@janececelia7448 being slightly quick to draw and be judgemental. I didn't say only vets can suffer from PTSD; I'm quite aware people can suffer from PTSD from various traumatic experiences.
@@janececelia7448 Your comment seems to show a lack of understanding of the complexities in psychological issues. We aren't robots, and there is a lot of grey area in situations like this. It's not as simple as asking for help rather than turning to alcohol. There's a lot of inner turmoil that doesn't even make sense to the person experiencing it.
He was a bully pure and simple......the vid of him abusing the neighbour as she came home from work????? Sooooo that's ptsd? Yeh let's be grateful he didn't kill the kids eh.....he only murdered the parents, could of been worse cause he was an ex soldier......jesus christ ........
Such a new case, appreciate you being the first to cover this story DC. Those poor families, so very sad for the children especially.
Dispatch operator was showing calm and got the suspect to calm down impressive
I want to acknowledge Shaun Hearts, Emma & Tim, who were worried & acted to help the Chapel family at mortal risk to themselves. Many of us doubt ourselves & don’t act.
If ever you’re thinking “god I’m worried but I don’t want to overreact/anger the neighbour/create problems” or you feel the need to film ‘in case’ or message others about it etc- call emergency services. Don’t hesitate.
There’s a complex psychological process involved in why this process happens, in bystander effect, and simply knowing about the effect helps us overcome it.
I send all my love to the neighbours who took immediate action, that was immensely courageous, & we each need to be neighbours like those who stepped up to try & help that day, seeing something & saying something. Tragically the Chapels had no chance due to their injuries, but their children were saved- from Collin, & from finding their parents.
My love to all those who love the poor young Chapel family, the community destroyed by this horrid series of events- including Colin’s own wife & kids.
Rest in paradise Mr & Mrs Chapel
This is one of the most senseless and tragic cases ever..😢May their souls RIP
@SNG
Don't you think Jennifer was being unreasonable by parking her SECOND car in an area that is hindering her Neighbor access to their vehicle?
She should have had a bit more consideration for others in that Housing Complex.
@@ParkAvenue34 stfu you weirdo.
Maybe inconsiderate but doesn't warrant being brutally murdered.
I love your articulate way of speaking, and your content. You really do it well thank you and I'm happy to be a subscriber
I was a 999 operator and I can tell you the exact moment when she turned to her colleague, eyebrows raised, to alert them to what was happening. That 'By you?', slightly slower and louder than it needed to be, would have caught her neighbour's ear even if they were on a call themselves.
Thank you Truly Criminal, the deep research and attention to the horrific details of true crimes that you put in to every episode is brilliantly done whilst still being respectful to the victims and families affected by these heinous crimes. 👍🏻🙏🏻
I love your work so good and thoroughly researched plus respectful. Plus your voice is ideal no sensationalism - good work 💯💕
What a truly tragic incident. I suffer with Major Chronic Depression among other issues, but would never dream of doing anything terrible to anyone. Having said that, I think it is paramount that people serving in the forces have access to proper mental health services, especially when they have served in war type situations. It is so sad to know that those little boys will grow up without their parents, just too sad. I am sure they will have much love around them from other family.
I've been watching your channel for awhile and I didn't know i wasn't subscribed!
You do great work.
Such tragic stories 💔
What a monster… killing both of them over a freaking parking space!? Just a pathetic pos.
That was their version of events. Unfortunately the other two are dead and so can’t tell theirs. It sounds like he was making excuses for his behaviour that night. And even if we do believe for one second that the poor dead couple were out of order, since when does that make murder acceptable. Give your head a wobble
@@tabularasa7775 what’s with you weird edge lords defending murders?!
@@kimsaunders3990 exactly. It’s probably the guys wife saying what happened… and she for some odd reason stuck by his side even though he’s abused her and killed two people…
@@tabularasa7775 you compared blocking a parking spot to murdering people… as if killing them was a reasonable reply. Also… I don’t believe their side of things. I don’t believe that poor couple looked at anyone through windows. I do believe that the monster stalked the wife by going to her job because her coworkers saw him. But again: you’re comparing blocking a parking spot to murder! What idiot brings that up? Why did you bring it up in your comment? People like you are not rational or sane.
Alice your voice is PERFECT for narration!
So incredibly sad. I sat crying through this video for the 2 little boys now without Mum and Dad. My heart breaks for them. RIP Stephen and Jennifer 💔
I love how you narrate , your channel is in my top 3 favorite true crime channels 🙌
I remember seeing this on the news but didn’t really know the details. Thank you so much for covering it so full. Love your channel! ❤
Much respect on the work you both put in
Having 2 kids of my own, it shatters my heart thinking what those boys go through not having Mom and Dad. 😔 praying for them 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I really can't understand why they would not let the neighbour get into his place.When you have neighbours you try to work things out.This would not have happened if they just did what a nice person would have done.
Exactly.
I am the most laid back person on the planet but have in the past had difficult neighbours. Sometimes dialog isn't possible.
🙄 and we have our victim blamer of the video.
Hey let's go, tomorrow I'll walk around with a knife in my pocket, say "hello" to everyone and the people not answering will be stabbed on the spot for not doing "what a nice person would have done". Awesome logic 👍 "This would not have happened" oh nooo, because of course EVERYONE who has a feud with their neighbors automatically has to think "oh this person is gonna murder me over some damn parking lot!"... again, super logic. As if it was the man who killed them who was at fault... you know, for killing them.
@@MARYWTHER Well Mary that's one way to look at it, but I see it as cautionary, that some humans will (☠️) me over a parking spot and to add it to my list of cautions, you should do that too and you will live longer, or you can do what you are currently doing and potentially end up another victim, the choice is yours.
Awful intrusive nosy bullying neighbors is a common theme here in the UK where everyone is squashed together In tiny properties with no space or privacy. Expect more cases like this in the coming years as the population on this tiny island continues to grow.
He is responsible for his actions. However we spend a great amount of time training soldiers for combat but almost nothing to reacclimatize back to civilian life.
What an evil man. 38 years, in my opinion, is not long enough for a home invasion and double homicide.
On a lighter note. The narrator is getting better and better each episode.
Thank for your fine work.
He is not an evil man but a sick one.
@@melisentiapheiffer3034he's an evil murderer!
38 years is a heavy sentence by UK terms. I have seen people get away with 6-7 years for murder
Thanks for sharing
An extremely violent attack, beats me on how something so severe could happen over a parking problem. 4 children are the victims of this story . So very sad . May they RIP ❤
this really hits home for me, as someone who has vivid memories of my parents arguing with the neighbours about car parking spaces and at one point one of them threatening violence - i couldn’t watch this on the news. Absolutely heartbreaking over something so trivial💔💔💔
I couldn’t be a 911 Operator… I would be traumatized… They are heroes….
Most are but not all some of them are the worst humans on earth!
This is the UK service, 999
I love how you just give the facts... thank you
Wow, great video 😢
I love this channel. You guys do such great work presenting these cases - very thorough but without unnecessary sensationalism. Thank you!
This man is just nasty , there is no excuse , my father was away 5 years in the WW2 he was in the desert just having runny corned beef biscuits with bugs , etc ., There is always an excuse , should learn to control their temper .
Thats why u never mess with anyone. U dont harass anyones wife or block anyones access to his parking spot. We truly believe that we are somehow protected by the illusion of security that the society promises. Dont mess with anyone, people can flip and u can die fast.
I don’t think anyone messed with anyone, I think the victims truly did not know at first the parking situation. Because she didn’t have a car right away, so when she did get one, she had to find out the hard way… the other side is don’t be an asshole, don’t stalk people at their jobs with your kids, don’t curse them out waiting outside for them to get home. You tell me what’s worse.
So if anyone messed with anyone, it’s the killer.
i agree with you. sometimes, walking away is hard but it's worth it. you just never know what sets some people off, and it isn't worth it to die or kill over something as stupid as a parking spot.
My tactic is to be the nicest, friendliest, most helpful neighbor on our street.....while wearing a pistol on my hip 365 days of the year. Everyone smiles and waves, and refer to me as "a great neighbor".
@@tabularasa7775 I completely agree.
Love your channel. Subscribed. 👍
So glad the court got it right. Wonder if Colin's mom would feel that way if the situation was reversed and her son was dead.
I was waiting for this upload today. Thank you TC for the excellent content that you put out❣
Thanks for the video content and all the hard work put into it!!!!!!❤️
I love this channel, one of my true crime favorite!
You are a great story-telling. I am Brazilian and for me listening your accent is a bonus.😊
This young channel should and will win awards!. Simply the best. No BS! just the facts.. Excellent case!
Love your videos. So well spoken and edited this is my favorite crime channel. Thank you for all the work you do on your channel. Xo
I love your channel!! Keep up the good work!!
Thank you!
one of the best crime channels on CZcams ❤
This case makes me cry for so much lost and ripped what was instantly ripped away from those two babies. Im so glad they're being raised together by family and hope only the best for them💖✨
Heartbreaking! Two children were orphaned and two children lost their father as the result of a senseless and horrific incident which those poor children will have to live with for the rest of their lives. It’s also extremely disturbing that Collin’s abusive father still believes he has control and feels completely comfortable ordering neighbors out of the Chapple home! I do believe the responsibility for Collin’s psychological problems, including these murders, lies squarely on his father’s shoulders! Sadly, I doubt he gives a damn!
Absolutely ❤👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 it’s horrifying to me how the world judge’s!!! they wouldn’t if they had gone through it themselves !!
I firmly believe you should not be in mental health if you haven’t been through mental health.
Same as social workers.
Etc etc etc
The army clearly has responsibility for his psychological problems
The trauma you go through might explain your mental illness, but it doesn't exempt you from your own actions. He murdered them, not his father. It was up to him to take care of his own mental health.
@@ashleighnicole5075 I couldn't agree more. Especially abt social workers. It's crazy how many babies/children are failed by CPS (half ass workers) so sad.
God bless 👑🙏🏻🕊💞
Yes, his physiological problems may have started with his father but they were brought to light way more drastically following his service in Afghanistan. It's all too common, the amount of PTSD and many other psychological problems with servicemen and women. Violence, depression, suicide, dissociate personality disorders, etc, etc. More needs to be done to help people who have struggled to reintegrate into society at normal level following tours of duty. It is the war that messed his mind up.
This case really hit me hard as my uncle was stabbed and killed by his neighbour over a stupid dispute about the amount of squirrels there were in their communal garden. He got diminished responsibility which is ridiculous when we learnt about his previous actions and what was found i his house. My heart breaks for the 2 children and family of this couple. ❤
Over squirrels ! Jeez
Senseless violence
Yes another astoundingly well made video. Tragic case that I hadn’t heard about. Thank you so much.
Thank you TC, another great narration😃
How good is that 999 operator ! Wow amazing job
This is one of the best true crime channels. Honestly it’s one of my favorite shows on any media platform. Thank you.
How can the mother claim it was "out of character" when there was documented evidence of his aggression towards the victims in the weeks leading up to the attack? I understand wanting to protect your son, but honey, your son murdered two innocent people in absolute cold blood. He is exactly where he belongs and dragging this up over and over in the press is just revictimising those poor kids who he orphaned.
And he was beating his own wife regularly prior. I hate how she tried to paint Jennifer as the scary one, when she wasn't, to deflect from her own son's scary and violent behavior. His wife too. Just awful behavior all around against that poor couple.
Emergency operator was amazing. Keeping him calm until the cops got there, amazing
The composure and compassion of the call handler is quite extraordinary. Definitely the right person for the job. Amazing. ❤
what a very calm emergency operator. Great job on her part
I don’t think she’s anything special,and she wasn’t listening to sone of his answers.
U have a beautiful and soothing voice ….keep up the good work 😊❤
