The only reason he was given a manslaughter charge rather than murder was his paranoid psychosis, meeting the threshold for diminished responsibility.
So strap in, because what you're about to hear now is pretty horrible.
So Jasmine, who was this four-year-old, remember, and Sam, her mum, were discovered stabbed to death by Sam's partner, Conrad Ellum.
One evening, Sam had answered the door to Napa and he had immediately attacked her.
And what he did to her was so horrific that one of the police officers attending the scene said that it was the most gruesome sight he'd ever seen.
But when it came to the case of Rachel Nickell, the Met didn't just have Napa's DNA all over their evidence samples.
Flecks of paint taken from little Alex's clothes were also found to be a match for a red toolbox belonging to Napa.
So when Napa was questioned in Broadmoor, he denied the crime.
But the similarities and the brutality and all of the evidence were pretty hard to ignore.
And so he ended up doing the same thing that he'd done before.
Napa pleaded guilty to the crime, but on a basis of diminished responsibility due to his paranoid schizophrenia.
Robert Napa was convicted of the manslaughter of Rachel Nickell in 2008.
And it's incredibly unlikely that he will ever get out of Broadmoor.
And allowed to roam free and murder again.
Yeah, because poor Britain told them to look for somebody who was into the occult.
So after this attack, Napa's house was searched by police.
The house that he lived in with his mother, by the way.
And officers found an A to Z. This A to Z was covered in annotations of the local area.
A to Z, by the way, for anybody... I don't know, do they do them outside of Britain?
I don't know.
