Instead of using guns to commit murder, some British crime victims are now tortured with knives and then set on fire. Crime does not go down because of rules. In some cases, it goes up instead. While we are not yet being told the reasons for this horrific crime, we do know that:
Laurent Bonomo and Gabriel Ferez, both 23, were bound and stabbed multiple times in the head, neck, torso, and back, said Mick Duthie, a detective with London’s Metropolitan Police.
Britain’s Press Association reported that the students had been tied up and tortured, suffering up to 250 injuries — facts the police could not confirm.
The number of injuries, if true, is excessive in the extreme. One has to wonder how many times they were stabbed after they were dead. A knife can be a more efficient way to kill than a gun, depending on the knife. To stab someone that many times is highly unusual and I would think it generally indicates extreme rage.
The two students were studying DNA protein cleansing. How unfortunate that their lives were snuffed. They could have helped millions of people with the research they were doing.
