Ted Bundy obsessed musician jailed for life over murder of Bobbi-Anne McLeod
Ackland, who was obsessed with serial killer Ted Bundy, murdered 18-year-old Bobbi with a claw hammer and dumped her body near Bovisand Beach
How long was Ackland jailed for?
It was said he had not received “much comfort” from either his home or his school life and that the his father and other male role models had not provided much “in the way of succour or support”.
Was Ackland known to police?
Ackland claimed he felt low on the day of the murder, had been for a drive to clear his head, and come across Miss McLeod when he took a short-cut through Leigham on his way to the town centre.
What did he say to police about what he had done?
At the time of the release an article from rightcordmusic.com described Ackland as the band’s main songwriter and lead guitarist, and described the group’s sound as harking back to 90s and 00s garage rock.
The other members of Rakuda announced in November they would disband “with immediate effect” and said they were “extremely shocked and in complete disbelief” at what had happened and said their thoughts were with Miss McLeod’s family. The band’s profile picture is that of a candle in tribute to Miss McLeod.
