Violence Against Women Story of the Day comes from the UK. This man meets a woman at a bar. They exchange numbers and they go out on a date days later. He stabs her to death. Like 31 times in the neck. Takes her body. Dumps it in the trunk of her car. Drives around town in the car. Calls his girlfriend (not only a murderer, a cheating bastard) and acts like nothing happened. He eventually strips her body naked and dumps in some wooded area (of course). Her decomposed body is found days later.
His defense: she stabbed herself because she was suicidal. Really? Really. He was convicted. Good. She was smart: they met in a public area. She told friends where she would be. She's still dead. The most amusing (in a sad, pathetic way) part of the article comes from these two people:
Ann Ellidge, from the Suzy Lamplugh Trust, said Kate's death was all the more shocking because "Kate was already doing the right thing in meeting a public place and keeping in touch with her friends".
She said: "We can't tell what happened in her case but our advice would always be that if someone makes you feel the least bit wary you should make an excuse and leave." Matt Searle, from the Lucie Blackman Trust, said: "At the end of a date you should never feel under pressure to leave with someone or go to their home. If they are a good man then they will wait a few days and send you flowers."
Gee, thanks, Matt. Men who send you flowers won't hurt you. Yes, that's the clincher.
