Murder

[Frankblackwife]

Do you think you could get away with it?

I thought this was going to be about crows and now I'm sad.

@menopausalfart that’s the most random victim ever!

I’ve had a think and I think your best bet is to have a reasonable excuse of self defence so I’d wait til my victim was chopping vegetables and surprise them so they turn around with a weapon in their hand and then murder them. Then I’d ring the Police and tell them they came at me with a knife and I had to defend myself.

Have googled. He was found not guilty. Her family said they accept he didn’t play any part in her death but that he lied about his sexuality.

Yes i edited my post
still think he was guiltily as fuck

Thanks. Was it carried out meticulously (?) - the evidence doesn’t point to a clean, professional, hit.

It all sounds very dodgy!

Ha, I was going to say exactly this. In one of my first lectures at uni, the lecturer told us this was the best way of killing someone.

Realistically, I don't think I'd be able to get away with it. I watch a lot of true crime documentaries and the ways they find out the truth sometimes is just unreal.

If you left your mobile behind and walked a long distance from your house cross country and battered a complete stranger to death on a random public footpath and walked home again then I guess you might get away with it.

However a targeted attack on a known target. Hmm you are probably leaving some kind of evidence trail behind.

Maybe a complete random. So I, have no motive, no connection, no previous criminal record, probably wear a wig to and from whatever place I did it so that CC tv would be looking for somebody who looked different.

Impossible really. CCTV on most buildings. Blood splatter tell tale signs. DNA. Mobile pinging off nearby buildings so you can’t lie about your whereabouts (unless you leave your phone home). It would be such a chore trying to make sure it was water tight, I don’t think i could be arsed. I’ve been watching the Ed Gein drama on Netflix. It was in the 1950s, and I think you could have probably got away with anything back then. Mind boggling..

Too many cctv on random buildings. Unless it was in the middle of nowhere, might be difficult to get away with even in those circumstances.

I’ve often thought that Myra Hindley and Ian Brady would have got away in the 1960s with killing those four children if it wasn’t for killing their final victim - Edward Evans - and getting Hindley’s BIL involved in the cleaning up of that murder.

DH and I were talking about this last night (sort of). Vampires must be really struggling for victims nowadays with CCTV and forensic evidence. Victorian vampires were really living in the golden age! Nowadays they'd have to work in a blood bank and skim some off the side or something in order to survive. But would that be enough? Most predators won't scavenge in the animal world. Could a vampire live off blood bags?

Not impossible at all. Similar to falling down the stairs, any accident where someone has been pushed to their death and there is no CCTV footage, is very difficult to prove as murder, as the act of pushing someone leaves no mark.

Ideally chose a nice scenic spot up a mountain or at a cliff edge, take lots of nice photographs of your happy hike together before there’s a “terrible accident”.

It's a good job I'm not going to be murdering anyone then isn't it!

I think it depends on who you are trying to murder too, I think its a lot easier to kill a family member and get away with it eg push them down the stairs, off a cliff, poision them and then call the police and say they fell than it would be to kill someone and hide the body. Im 5'2 and live in a terraced house, so Id have no chance 🤣 Someone big and strong, living on a remote property would have a lot more chance than me!

What about if your dh had a heart attack and you waited until he was dead before you called 999. Bet that happens a lot.
I'm not sure you could poison someone these days.

Pushing someone down the stairs would leave DNA. Also there’s more likelihood of the person surviving compared to other ways.

Same with the Wests. They probably would have got away with all the murders if one of their kids hadn't said something about their dead sister to their teacher

Just Googled it & there is evidence it was a professional job

And there would be evidence that force was used I'd imagine

If you lived with someone or it was just house your dna would there all over the place anyway. Things forensics would looking for like hair, skin cells etc would be dismissed in your own house or on people who live with you. They'd be looking for your skin cells under there finger nails in signs of a struggle or your blood on the knife / on the wall if they had been stabbed and cuts on you.

Vampires are pretty much people, though, aren't they? In which case I think living off blood bags would be like us living off ready meals - not as satisfying, not as good for you, but keeps you alive! There might be campaigns in the vampire community about the dangers of too much, led b UPB (ultra processed blood), led by Count van Tulleken.

Ooh yes please!
