The Last Teen to be Hanged in England | The Tragic Story of Allan Jee 

They MURDERED a young man who did nothing to them.

I have no sympathy for the murderers, only the victim, his family, and his fiance. RIP Mr. Jee🙏😪

Being drunk and skint isn't any excuse for murder!

What an absolutely horrible event! A totally innocent man celebrating his engagement... Murdered. I cannot even fathom what his fiancé had to deal with emotionally and psychologically?

Boy, they didn't drag their feet in carrying out the sentence What a contrast to the States where Death Row inmates can be there for decades

I have never understood those who seem to believe that a killer's life is so much more precious than that of his victim(s)! Never.

Poor Allen that’s so horrible what happened to him.

So, if the death sentence doesn't deter people from committing murder then neither does any other given sentence. Many murders who were let go after serving long sentences have gone on to murder again but, if that person had been sentenced to death and it was carried out, then he/she wouldn't have had that chance.

Thank you for keeping history alive. These stories dont deserve to be forgotten.

RIP Alan Gee No sympathy for murderers, why should the family pay for a killer to live in prison. My brothers murderer walked free after 12 years, my brother is still dead.

Thank you Paul, this case is heartbreaking I realize that hanging is cruel, but beating a person to death is worse, and for no reason other than getting their kicks 😢.

They say that the death penalty isn't a deterrent. I don't know. It deterred Francis and the others from ever murdering again.

That poor young man. I hope his bride to be managed to find a fulfilling life despite what happened.

I’m glad to see justice was served. Sad that this young victim lost his life.

Sometimes, someone commits an act so heinous that nothing else is appropriate.

Nothing good ever happens late at night. I'm convinced. His fiancé must have been utterly shocked and heartbroken.

Hello Paul!! I’ve missed you and your wonderful stories. I can’t understand why young people think that they can do anything and not be arrested for it! Poor young man….murdered without a penny in his pocket. Thank you for sharing! Blessings always! ❤️✝️

The real problem is now that very dangerous people are allowed back on the streets a few years after committing a murder and often kill again. The deterrent factor is that a dead murderer can’t kill again. People choose to commit murder, the victims don’t choose to be murdered. Life is much more dangerous now than it was in 1960. A don’t feel any sympathy for those two but I for Alan Gee

You are greatly appreciated, Paul. The devastations of history should never be forgotten

Thank you for another great story. It's hard to feel sorry for those boys for murder. That young man had a future and they not only destroyed it but his families to. The death penalty may not not be a deterrent but those boys won't kill again

Great to see you again Paul thanks for sharing your work with us again

The death penalty is not simply a deterrent. It’s a PENALTY, or punishment.

Hello Mr.Paul I have missed your wonderful voice and story telling, I Hope you get better soon Hopefully everything goes well

wrong place wrong time annoys me. people should be able to go anywhere without being murdered.

These days, the courts blame the victim and exonerate criminals.

The only tragedy, in this story, is that of the poor soul who was murdered.

Anyone who knowingly takes a life forfeits any rights they have.

The death penalty isn't a deterrent, but it does stop repeat offenders.

The death penalty isn't necessarily _meant_ to be a "deterrent" perse. It's a punishment determined to be appropriate for a specific crime committed.

My uncle was one of the last to be hung for murder in Leeds, England , accused of killing 2 policemen close to his farm. He was hung still protesting his innocence. Many years later the wife of the real killer on her death bed made a confession to say that her deceased husband did the crime, their son also confirmed that he had found the murder weapon, a gun hidden in a dry stone wall on their property as a child and was severely reprimanded by his father (the killer) to never mention what he had found. To date the family of my uncle (3 surviving daughters) have had no apology or pardon for the wrongful death of their father .

Such a harrowing case.. poor Allen.. Thanks for another fascinating case, Paul.. My brother sent me a pic of his haggis, neeps and tatties with a glass of Irn Brew last night.. he never lets 25th January go by without celebrating 'Burns Night' (our dad was Scottish and never lost his accent, as you haven't either 🤗🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿) Much love xx

The good days when Justice mattered.

Righteous punishment for a brutal crime!

I've lost three friends to murders over a 20 year period. One was kicked to death at random, the murderer was inexplicably aquitted and left the dock laughing. The next was beaten half to death by four students and died within a year from complications. One killer did 18 months while the other three walked. The third was murdered for reporting two child murders, but the police refused to pursue a proper investigation and called it "misadventure". Although there are problems with the death penalty I do believe we need it back - perhaps with some additional protections - but its not the only problem we have: the police and the courts are both failing the British people.

"Some criminals make it hard to be against the death penalty." - Andy Rooney

I recommend your channel to everyone I can. Especially those that are into British history and crime. I absolutely love this channel! ❤️ Worcestershire, UK 🇬🇧

It seems surreal that there was once a time when the UK's legal system didn't worship criminals.

If such a crime happened today the offender would have been found guilty of manslaughter and because of his deprived background would only serve about 5-10 years.

I’m from Middlesex and I’ve never heard of this case! Thanks Paul!

I don't understand why it is always the culprit for whom the sympathy flows from the human rights people but not for the law abiding people who are at the punishments end

Freeing perps make possible these tragedies. We shouldn't be leanant with criminals. No bail, no parole. People advocating for the pardon of these thugs obviously have never known what is it like to have a loved one taken violently from you.

My step brother was one of the lads who hung around with flossie and his gang. Fortunately he wasn't there that night. He always said flossie was very violent and he said he was scared of him as he'd had a one night stand with his girlfriend and was afraid he'd find out.

Oh how I’ve missed seeing your face and hearing your voice! Happy to see that you’re doing well.

Glad to have you back Paul ❤❤.

There is always a hue and cry about abolishing the death penalty. Of course, that all goes out the window when one of their own loved ones falls victim to animals like this. (Yes, there have been victims that oppose the death penalty for their perpetrators, but it's an extremely rare event.)

Brilliantly put together. I’d heard of this case via another RU-vid video…..this was a senseless loss of a young life, and as the law stood, they had to face the ultimate punishment. Please keep up the good work.

Anyone else think Alan looks a little like a young Peter Capaldi? Sad story

A life for a life that’s right they may have been young but they knew what they were doing

Have you any idea how fortunate I feel when your post arrive? Your tales that you tell have always left me surprised.. I am certain tonight will be no different . You’ve always got something up your sleeve, you always make a difference . Somehow or another you makes sense of nonsense . I believe it is your ability to commend the language . I respect you very much sir . Please never go away .. I’ll always come back to listen to your stories. Day after day .❤

Glad to see you back.

Bring Capital Punishment back for all cases of premeditated murder. Sentence carried out within 4 weeks. Jury trials - no appeals.

Holy heck. What a tale. Thank you ❤

It always fills me with joy to see another video pop up. ☺️. Could listen to you for hours (and did)

Thoroughly enjoy your videos!!!

Deterrence was not the main reason for the death penalty. The main reasons were justice and closure for the victim’s family.

I appreciate your smooth presentation and historical photos. These tragedies should serve as reminders to value life.

Oh my gosh! This is the first time I've heard the term, "windkle pickers" since I lived in Aspaal Park in 1961-1964!!!! I'm stunned right now. Love your videos by the way.

It is called justice. No matter what the deterrant value.

The main problem with capital punishment is in ensuring the right person is executed. There have been tragic cases in England where the wrong person was charged and hanged. The Christie case is a prime example. Timothy Evans was wrongly convicted and hanged in 1950 for the crimes of serial killer John Reginald Halliday Christie, who was arrested, tried, convicted and hanged in 1953.

Another wonderful episode. Thank you sir! ❤

The fact that the family didn’t allow her to see him before he died is atrocious

Thank you for the upload, Paul.

The advantage of the death penalty, is the the perpetrator never gets a second chance to murder. .

I didn't expect to be as totally drawn in as I was. Your voice is captivating making the subject matter something I advidly wanted to know all about and did you deliver!

Another interesting story. Paul,you have the admiration of your audience for always telling the best stories.I look forward to the next tale of excellent storytelling. Thank you very much for sharing your talent with us.

What a tragic story indeed.

Thank the lord your back ❤🇬🇧

Many thanks for publishing this story. I had never heard of this case- I always imagined that Derek Bentley was the last teen hanged in England.

He got bail? For attacking 2 cops? At Heathrow Airport? Who was HIS brief? Rumpole?

It will certainly deter some people. Just because people still murder does not mean it has not deterred others.

Past time hanging was reinstated. No chance the perpetrator will be let out on bail to repeat the crime a few years later.

There is a place in the criminal justice system for the death penalty.

Good to hear your voice!

Hello, therapist here, I've seen a lot of comments discussing why younger people seem more inclined to do crimes and believe that they will get away with it. There seems to be some confusion, so I might be able to provide some answers. I actually worked as a therapist in a juvenile detention center for boys for over two years. The reason why we have a higher rate of younger people as criminals than older people has the possible explanation that the brain has not fully developed yet. As a person grows, so does their brain. The brain stops growing in the early twenties for girls and mid to late twenties for boys. The last part that stops forming is the prefrontal cortex, the part right behind your forehead. This region of the brain is very important in regards to decision making and predicting consequences. Before this part is formed, a person is less likely to recognize that they may receive negative consequences since they feel like they can get away with it. I hope that answers some of your questions.

Now there is not even a real Life Sentence to deter, or punish.

So, public opinion turned against the death penalty. Given the level & nature of violent crime in GB today, this poses the obvious question: how is that working for you?

The death penalty ensures that the guilty parties will not offend again

Thank you for sharing again

I live in a country where people under 18 are treated more leniently for capital crimes. So terrorist groups appoint a 17-year-old to do the dirty. One such, after killing in cold blood a much-loved journalist, was shown in newspapers with his handcuffed hands over his head in a victory gesture. The angry demonstration march in the slain journalist's honor filled boulevards and stopped traffic all over the city, and he is still honored many years later. But he's still dead.

I haven’t seen this video yet. As a kid I read this in the papers, i’m Dutch so I read this in a Dutch paper. I’m almost 75 now but I never forgot the names of the young killers: Francis Forsyth, Norman Harris, Chris Darby and Terence Lutt who was the youngest (17 I think). The first three were hanged or maybe Darby not because he was convicted for manslaughter and Terence Lutt was sent to a prison for juvenile delinquents because he was too young for the death sentence. It sure made a big impression on me because they were young. I’m almost 75 now but I still remember this very well. What a horrible deed.

Welcome back

Such a needless crime. I have worked with young people for years and there are just some who are "born" to be bad. They have horrible parents, grandparents, etc, but there are just as many bad kids with great families as well. It's the truth that we reap the storm when we sow the wind. I am glad they were punished, it may or may not detour others, but they stopped their criminal behavior because of it.

Post WW2 Brits brainwashed to thinkin death penalty an evil response.

An eye for an eye imo Now they let murderers & rapists out of prison in US bc of overcrowding 🤯 Many get 10 yrs for murder and are out in 6!! Where is the justice They get to live on while who they have killed is gone forever Their families let to mourn for the rest of their lives

Recidivism = zero when capital punishment is judiciously applied 🤷‍♀️

How times have changed, today 3/5 years if they were even caught?

Poor poor soul his whole life was in front of him

I remember my parents and my teachers at school saying to me two wrongs never make a right...

Hello Paul, another great vlog, hope you're keeping well.....

Thank you I can't help feeling sad about this case these young men lost their lives and for what? so senseless. I am not saying capital punishment was wrong though.

If they were "skint", where did they get the money to get pissed on?
