A 17 year old boy named Steven Miles of
Oxted, Surrey which is somewhere in London or some junk thought that
he was Dexter from the series and decided to chop up his girlfriend,
Elizabeth Thomas who was 16. You know, I'm a huge fan of Batman, have
been since I was a kid but I'd never take my parents to a play of
Zorro hoping that they get killed and I become the Dark
Knight...anymore. Steven stabbed her a bunch of times in the back and
head before cutting her up, sealed her in plastic wrapping like in
the show, and wrapping her in a plastic gardening sheet.
Steven has been diagnosed as being
autistic and that his alter ego named Ed told him to do it. Ed sounds
like a dick. After killing Elizabeth he told his sister “Ed made me
do something bad.” During trial it was said that Steven had a
fascination with horror movies and dark shit and wanted to copy
Dexter.
The judge Christopher Critchlow said
“This is a case of the utmost gravity, the horrific features of
which are rarely heard in any court. Nothing this court can say or
do, no sentence this court can impose can alleviate the pain suffered
by Elizabeth Thomas' family for death in such a terrible manner.
There must be a life sentence. It's hard for this court to remain
unemotional. Their lives have been changed forever, it's difficult to
find the right words to describe the enormity of what you did to an
innocent girl of 17-and-a-half. You decided at the age of 16 you had
to kill somebody, you chose Elizabeth Thomas who tragically
befriended you and who had stood up for you when people described you
as different.”
He has been sentenced to 25 years in
prison. I'm not sure how bad prisons are over there but I say do like
they used to and send his ass to Australia. If I saw this kid walking
down the street I would say “Oh, he's killing cats.” He just has
that look.
