Meredith Kercher Murder House Looted by Devil Worshippers

February 24, 2009

On Wednesday, February 18, 2009, police in Perugia, Italy discovered that the house where Meredith Kercher, 21, was sexually assaulted and murdered in November 2007 had been broken into and ransacked, presumably by devil worshippers, despite the best efforts by police to keep the house sealed as a crime scene. 

Although the house has been sealed off and its perimeter marked with police tape since the crime occurred, sentries guarding it have since been discontinued—at least since January 2009.  As a result, the police are uncertain as to when the break-in actually occurred, but they said they discovered the illegal intrusion when they returned some items to the house that had been seized earlier as part of the investigation into Meredith's murder.

Apparently, according to European sources, Satanic worship has become somewhat widespread in Italy over the past several years, and murder scenes are frequently used to carry out their ceremonies.  Some people believe that the fact that Meredith's throat had been slashed, resulting in much blood at the murder scene, and  the fact that her body was partially nude when she was killed may have contributed to the house having been selected by Satanists for their unholy rituals—if indeed it turns out that Satanists were behind the break-in.

Among the oddities discovered by investigators following up on the break-in were four knives on the kitchen floor, as well as a burned candle in another room and candle wax drippings in the room where Meredith was slain.  Nothing appeared to be missing from the house, which sits among other homes on a hillside overlooking a valley.  The intruders' point of entry, police said, was through a kitchen window on the back side of the home.

"Four knives were found at the scene, and they were all determined to be from inside the house," a police spokesperson said.  "They were not brought here.  A candle was also found, but this also appears to have (already) been in the house.  Traces of wax were found in Meredith's bedroom and at this stage we are keeping an open mind on the motive.  We cannot exclude anything, and it is possible it was for some unnatural reason such as Satanism."

"I have no words to describe how much distress this will cause the family," said Francesco Maresca, attorney for the Kercher family.  "I hope that full details about what happened will come out quickly."

When Grandpa is also Daddy

February 12, 2009

The good doctor's daughter was born sometime in the 1960s, and had been given up for adoption soon afterward.  The doctor, uh, father, eventually met his daughter in 1991, and the two began having a sexual relationship.  The actions of the unholy union of this father and daughter from Australia is distasteful, to say the least, even to the most desensitized of minds.  It became even more distasteful when the daughter became pregnant and gave birth to a son in 1995, following their four-year sexual relationship.
 
The turn of events that led to the incestuous relationship began when the good doctor traveled to Great Britain to meet his long lost daughter.  They began having sex within 72 hours of their meeting, and the daughter soon relocated to Melbourne so that she could live with her father.  Did the fact that the father and daughter did not have a history as father and child make it okay to have sex?  Not by most people's standards.

"It was so overwhelming," the doctor reportedly said to a psychiatrist.  "The feelings were so strong.  I don't have any clear idea why.  Incest is abhorrent to me and (my daughter)."

One cannot help but wonder when the idea of having sex with his daughter became abhorrent -- early in the four-year relationship, or toward the end?  Come on now, Doc.  Just how abhorrent could it have been to you?  After all, the sexual relationship lasted for 4 years.  One also has to ask why a trained practitioner of the medical profession would not have considered the risks of birth defects to a child born out of an incestuous relationship, and if he had considered such risks, he had obviously paid them no heed.  Fortunately, the son/grandson has so far not shown any adverse physical effects, but it is not yet known whether he will suffer from psychological problems associated with possessing the knowledge that his father and his grandfather are one and the same.

Munich Chef Dismembered

February 11, 2009

A Munich, Germany angler, out for a few hours of fishing along the banks of the Isar River, caught what he thought would be one of the most memorable fish he had ever hooked-except that what he reeled in was not a fish.  It was a man's arm with its hand attached.  Interestingly, the fingertips from the hand were missing, adding to the macabre, disturbing and bizarre discovery.  The fisherman promptly reported his gruesome find to the local police.
 
Following an investigation, police announced that the arm with hand was that of one of Germany's top chefs, Markus Schindlbeck, 35, who had recently disappeared prior to leaving on a trip to Barcelona, one of Europe's hot-spot destinations, with his girlfriend.  According to investigators, the chef's body had been butchered, cut into a number of pieces, and thrown into a river.  The Isar River, portions of which have been opened to nudists since the 1960s, is fed by the rushing water of snow melt-off in the Alps and joins up with the Danube River in Germany.  Police said Schindlbeck's torso ended up and had been found in the Czech Republic, but it had not traveled there via the river.  The chief of the German murder commission, Richard Theiss, said that the police believed Schindlbeck had been murdered, and cut up, inside his apartment.

"We believe the man was killed in his flat," Theiss said.  "The body was then chopped up there and the pieces packed in bed linen and then taken to the river.  The victim's car is still missing."

Although a motive for the gruesome slaying was not immediately known, the police said a reasonably fast resolution to the case had been accomplished.  As it turned out, a man across the border in Austria was arrested for the murder.  The police so far have only identified him as Heiko K., a 39-year-old former colleague of the butchered chef.

It was not long after being arrested that Heiko K. decided to confess.  Apparently the murder was motivated, at least in part, by Heiko K.'s heavy debt load.  Based on what they had been told by the alleged killer, police figured that the crime probably occurred on or about January 23, 2009, a Friday, shortly after Heiko K. came to Schindlbeck asking for a loan, which Schindlbeck had refused him.

"The 39-year-old Heiko K. was heavily in debt and wanted to borrow money from Schindlbeck," Theiss said.  "It came to a verbal dispute, then a physical confrontation."

Schindlbeck apparently had been strangled.
