Teenage who killed a neighbor who raped his mom said he has no regrets

I've no regrets.. I'd do it all again

A teenager who killed the neighbour who raped his mum spoke for the first time from prison last night and said: "I've no regrets."

But in an emotional phone call to the Sunday Mercury, Marc Bick said that he never meant to kill sex beast Derek Duffet.

"That man attacked my mum in our house," the 17 year-old said. "In some respects, he deserved what he got.

"But I didn't mean to kill him. I was just so angry and upset. I wasn't really thinking straight.

Bick, from Newport, Shropshire, was 16 when he discovered that drug addict Duffet had attacked mum Yvonne, 48, after threatening her with a wrench.

Angry and confused, the teenager vowed revenge and confronted the brute a week after the December 20 attack.

When Duffet sneered "For f*** sake, it was only a bit of fun," Marc lashed out in fury with a cricket bat.

Duffet, 40, slumped to the floor where he banged his head - and died three days later.

Someone is confused.

It's hard work to knock sense into someone who is dead you know.

No, I'm not into vigilantism. I don't support the death penalty. And I think the kid's a fool for having "vowed revenge."

But I fully understand how the kid could lash out like that. I can't say I wouldn't do the same thing. I doubt I'd take a weapon with me if I went to confront the bastard, but I'd have to fight myself really hard to go unarmed.

One thing's for sure: If I were ever to catch some mofo in the act upon anyone -- God forbid -- I would kill him. I would get whatever was at hand -- cast iron skillet, tire iron, knife, bat, scissors, whatever -- and I would kill him.

I would have asked why the rapist wasn't prosecuted. Why was he free to go about? I think there were mitigating circumstances here because of this.
