Twitter troll jailed for making fun of teacher’s fatal stabbing

A Twitter troll who delighted in the fatal stabbing of teacher Ann Maguire has been jailed for eight weeks.

In the wake of Ms Maguire’s death, Robert Riley bragged to his followers he would not just have killed Ms Maguire but “all the bastard teachers” at Corpus Christi School in Leeds.

The jobless 42-year-old from Cwmavon, Port Talbot, also posted a series of racist tweets claiming Nazi death camp Auschwitz was a “health spa” and suggesting that Muslim babies should be drowned.
