Dismemberment killer arrested in Berlin

Thank God they caught this SOB. Between this and the Eaton Centre shooting on the weekend, everybody at work has been terrified to step outside lest they be abducted and dismembered or simply shot.

I have to say, when they first announced the arrest I was wondering if it was actually him, or just someone he paid off to take the fall. Given the way he's acted so far I wouldn't have put it past him.

For the latest on this story, it looks like he may have also mailed some body parts to some schools in Vancouver, story here

 

Yeah, followed this particular report.

It almost reads like on of those sick Thriller Novels by Thomas Harris.

That guy was practically halfway over the globe, before they got him. Sick ain't a strong enough word for him.

 

Words fail me. Whoever did the dismembering and mailing of body parts is vile beyond words. The evidence so far against Magnotta is pretty compelling, and I hope no slimy lawyer gets it suppressed. Once again, I believe this guy should be executed, but that won't happen. Like Vince Li before him, he'll be in the hospital a few years, and then he'll be all better and taking escorted walks around the town. He'll be out and about in under 10 years, mark my words.

Justice my big, hairy, white butt!

 

You mean like this (from the linked article)?

Not exactly the word I would use to describe this guy's crimes, lol.

 

Not sure what you mean. The connection to Homolka is odd, and it demonstrates he is likely a vile human. I'm not sure if it's a valid connection.

In any event, he's likely a killer and a deviant. He needs to be punished.

 

I was referring to your love of 'justice' in the form of ten year sentences ... apparently this Homolka gal raped and murdered three girls (including her sister) and served 12 years? Seems an odd bargain for a serial killer.

 

Oh, I see, I assumed you knew her story. She was the wife of Paul Bernardo, who allegedly masterminded the rapes and murders. When it looked like the police were closing in, she grabbed herself a lawyer and cut a deal to testify against her hubby and save her own skin.

Then the videotapes she and Bernardo had made surfaced (I don't know if she turned them over or if they were found by police) but in any event the tapes looked as though she were a willing and active participant in the crimes rather than just a poor wife under the influence of a sick husband. But the deal had already been struck, so she spent some pretty easy time in Club Fed (pictures were released of her partying with her lesbian lover in jail) and now has been released. She left Canada, IIRC, though I can't imagine why another country would allow her entry.

The whole deal pissed off the entire country. She played the system like a flute. The only good thing to come of it was that Bernardo himself was locked away for good. I don't think he's ever getting out.

 

It was Karla's husband, Paul Bernardo, was the one who did the worst of the raping and murdering, she was just wholly complicit/never tried to stop him/helped him lure & drug the victims. These murders all happened before I was even in kindergarten so I'm not overly familiar with it, just what I remember from my law class in high school. From what I recall they gave her a lighter sentence if she would testify against Paul.

This country has certainly produced some sick ****s, that's for sure. They'll be hard pressed to find a jury on this one, I can't imagine there's anyone out there who hasn't heard of the case by now.

Plus if it was a jury of his actual peers they'd have to get 12 psychopaths out of a mental hospital for the duration of the trial.

 

And what about her new husband, incidentally? How could anyone who knew her history look at her and think "that's my angel"?

 

Raving? Hmm. I'm not sure how to take that. I'm sure you meant it in the nicest possible way!

As for her new husband, there is no shortage of women who throw themselves at serial killers, sening them naked pictures of themselves. I mean, Milhouse's dad didn't want to leave prison because he was getting more attention behind bars than he ever had on the outside!

Obviously, men are no smarter in this regard. Christians are supposed to forgive, absolutely, but marry and have a kid with such a psycho? It boggles my mind.

 

The thing I find most surprising was that while he fled the country, he certainly wasn't in hiding. I mean, he was hanging out at an internet cafe when they found him, and according to one of the cafe employees, he had been there for over a hour. Talk about hiding in plain sight.

 

It actually makes sense to me, Aldeth. Given that he isn't contesting the extradition order, it's looking more and more that he did this for the attention. If he was caught in an internet cafe in Montreal I'm sure the international attention on this case would have been far less but since he fled the country and went travelling through a few European countries it makes the case that much weirder.

You can plead insanity all you want, but the fact of the matter is he had a plan to escape the country and knew what he wanted to do with the body parts. If I were on the jury this guy has to face, he'd be going away for an incredibly long time.

 

You just disqualified yourself, reep.
