| | |  Rob Knox attacker found guilty of murder
Last May Rob Knox (Marcus Belby in Half-Blood Prince) was stabbed to death in a fight at a bar in Kent, England. His attacker, Karl Bishop, has now been found guilty of murder. Whilst trying to protect his younger brother, Rob was tragically killed. Bishop was also found guilty of wounding another man. Quote:
Brian Altman QC, prosecuting, said: 'Unhappily, his courage and his sense of duty were to cost him his life.'

that's too horrible 
I hope Rob's family can find some peace now, although this is far from a peaceful situation.
My thoughts go to everyone involved in this tragic event.

That would make whoever injects that as bad as the murderer. I mean it's the same thing.

I´m glad they`ll put him in prison.
I know this is no place for a debate on capital punishment, but I don`t think anyone deserves to be killed as a punishment.
May Rob Knox rest in peace.

This is such a sad story all around.
On a separate note, will Rob's character be reprised in DH?

Knowing the thug will pay for his crime won't bring Rob back,it might give his family a little closer,though.
I really feel so sorry for them.

At least SOME justice was finally served.
RIP Rob Knox.
I hope his family takes what small amount of solace that is possible out of this news.

Well I am glad that justice was found, and my heart goes out to the family. I know this is no way makes up for what they are missing, but maybe it can give them some closure.
I would protect my sister with my life too

Hopefully the family will get some closure out of this. I would do the same thing for my little brother.

That's good that he's accused of charges guilty. He deserves every bit of punishment that he gets. Anyone who does that type of thing does. I hope that the light is begining to shine bright again for Rob's family. RIP Rob Knox.

May Rob Knox rest in peace. If you know then don't contribute to the discussion, Tori. Quote:

I don't see why that role would be important enough to re-cast.
