I agree that he is milking the attention, but no matter what happens he must be given a fair trial. He is not doing himself any favour whatsoever with what he is saying in court, it is unfortunate that he has been given such a platform, but in order to draw a line under this he has to be given a fair and transparent trial. His conviction or sectioning will not provide the families of his victims with closure but it is the closest that they will get.
Making him disappear in some kind of CIA style extraordinary rendition to a hell-hole of a prison in a far flung corner of the globe would solve the problem of his desire for publicity in the short term, but before long it would attract the conspiracy theory nutters who would gleefully manufacture "evidence" to suit their paranoid outlook on the world. This in turn would mean that the events of that day would continually be dragged up, when it should be left alone.
