  • Against his girlfriend's sister's name he had written "use and abuse at will." The list of planned victims also included his girlfriend's parents and the parents of his ex-wife.Hobson was tried for the murders in April 2005.
  • Pleading guilty, he was sentenced to four terms of life imprisonment with a recommendation that he should never be released.
