He seemed like the most unlikely of suspects - a teenage boy known by most as a quiet violinist, a (black) kid whose heroes were classical musicians.

But on Friday, Portsmouth police announced they had arrested 17-year-old Robert Lee Barnes in the slaying of Meghan Landowski, a Woodrow Wilson High School student whose April 10 death at home in the middle of the afternoon had shocked and scared her peers and the community.

According to a probable cause summary filed in court, the youth climbed in a bedroom window, bound Landowski and stabbed her with a knife several times, then left on foot. The teen bled to death, the summary said.

Shelton gave no hint at a motive Friday and said any details would hurt the prosecution. He described the pair as acquaintances but declined to give more details about their relationship.

His acquaintances can't figure out why such a nice, quiet "boy" with no "violent tendencies" could ever do such a thing. He was so promising, so talented...

If he had been White, the comments would have been something along the lines of "He was kind of weird, kept to himself, didn't make friends. Good musician, but an odd guy who didn't socialize..." etc.

The mother of his victim, Meghan Landowski, lamented the future her daughter will never have. And she struggled to understand why Barnes had brutally taken the life of a 16-year-old girl who had loved him "like a brother."
After hearing the anguish of both sides, a judge sentenced Barnes to 42 years in prison for the April 2008 sexual assault and stabbing death of Meghan.
Commonwealth's Attorney Earle C. Mobley had asked the judge to unseal crime scene photos and look at them again before sentencing Barnes. Circuit Judge James C. Hawks said there was no need; they were "etched" in his mind.
Chris Shortt cannot forget the images either.


Shortt found his stepdaughter's body when he got home on April 10, 2008. She had been bound and stabbed more than 40 times, left facedown in a pool of blood.
On Thursday, he told the court what he remembered. How he found the front door open. How he walked in and initially thought he was looking at candle wax on the floor.
He said he called out to Meghan to help him get it cleaned before her mother got home.
Then, he saw her lying there white as a China doll, he said. He felt for her pulse and she was cold, her skin like putty.
Shortt stopped short of describing the fatal wounds to his daughter's neck, saying he wanted to spare his wife, Angela.
"It just didn't seem real that somebody could do that," he said, reflecting on the scene.


She was a sophomore at Wilson High School at the time of her murder. The year before, both she and Barnes had been enrolled in the same magnet program for talented students at Churchland High School.
She was a dancer. Barnes, who was also 16 at the time of the crime, was described as a gifted violin player. They lived near each other and sometimes rode the same bus to school.


A six-month investigation that included more than 100 interviews and the methodical elimination of suspects had led police to her son. When police first approached him in September 2008, he said he knew nothing about the murder. A few days later, he tried to throw police off by pretending he had just pulled a piece of bubble gum from his mouth, then offering it to a detective who had requested a DNA sample from him.
A subsequent lab test revealed the DNA on the gum was from a female.
In subsequent questioning, Barnes told police that Meghan had asked him to come over that day and that he climbed through a window when no one answered the door. He said a masked man who was already there forced him at gunpoint to bind and assault Meghan.
Prosecutors and the teen's lawyers agreed in court when he pleaded guilty in September that he had acted alone. Barnes pleaded guilty to first-degree murder, attempted rape, aggravated sexual battery, abduction and statutory burglary.
On Thursday, prosecutors asked the judge to consider the brutality of the crime, the suffering it had caused to Meghan's family and Barnes' danger to the community. A psychological evaluation that was submitted with the pre-sentence report was sealed and only alluded to in court. Mobley said it left the court with no assurance that Barnes would not do it again.


As part of a plea agreement and to spare Meghan's family the turmoil of a trial, Mobley had agreed to not pursue a capital murder charge and not to ask for more than a 42-year prison term.
The judge gave Barnes a total of 148 years, with all but the 42 suspended. The judge ordered that he serve 25 years of supervised probation upon his release.
As a juvenile, Barnes did not face the death penalty but could have faced life in prison. Under current state law, upon his release, Barnes will still be subject to possible civil commitment as a violent sex offender, Mobley said.

In a plea agreement, Barnes confessed he hid in Meghan's empty house the afternoon of April 10, 2008 waiting for her to get home from school. When Meghan walked in the door, Barnes attacked. He bound Meghan's arms behind her back with duct tape around her elbows. He taped her mouth shut, sexually assaulted her and then stabbed her more than 40 times. Twelve of those stabs were to her back, after she was already dead. He took her pants off and left her on the kitchen floor, face down in a pool of her own blood ten feet wide.


The judge sentenced Barnes to 38 years for first degree murder, 2 years for Aggravated Sexual Assault and 2 years for Burglary. Prosecutors said he would get out of prison when he is 60 years old.
The one thing no one seems to know to this day--no one except Barnes himself--is why he killed her. [bullshit. This was T.N.B. plain and simple. As Linder has said several times, no matter how the skids are greased, no matter how much money they throw at them, etc., they cannot contain the monkey within. There is no mystery to the "why" of this crime.]

Barnes and Meghan were friends and former classmates. They used to wait for the school bus together. Barnes was also a gifted violinist and ace student at the Governor's School for the Arts.

From a commenter at the link who gives some decent advice for young, White girls in the Kwa:

Best for young women (or women in general) to learn to avoid making friends with these type of people...the odds they will become violent at some point is overwelmingly high...As we see daily on the news... One might call that racism...I call it a simple observation...Observe enough birds fly...you can conclude the next bird you run across will probably fly at some point.
Stay away from these people girls...be kind and polite...but keep your distance...try not to upset them either...if you befriend them...at some point you probably will do something that will offend them without even trying...and then...they snap

This yet another "hush crime" that remains unreported by the likes of Nancy Grace and the similar shows that mine horrific crimes for tv ratings. A story like this would give the kike producers their ratings but they have a problem...the perp is a nigger and the victim is White.

We certainly can blame the jews for the nigger on white atrocities that we daily witness. The jew has unleased the mud races among our race, knowing well that the result will be misery and chaos and race mixing. The jew thrives in a mixed society, they blend in perfectly as just one more group. They are destroyers of white nations and they use inferior mud races as one of their main weapons of racial destruction. We had better wake up the sheeple soon before it is too late if it is not already too late!!T.J.B.
