    Don't get all cut up about it, it's just a TV stand.

    Man killed and dismembered father then used him as TV stand, court hears - Telegraph

    Is it just my impression or is this sort of thing becoming more popular by the day?

    For dear old Freako, this is a tale about a chappy offing his dad, cutting him up, & using the boxed up remains as a TV stand.

    He kept the head in a filing cabinet.

    What I found particularly odd is that the dad funded* his murderous offspring on a trip to Thailand that meant that dad couldn't insure his taxi & ended up in court because of it.

    *I would assume this happened sometime prior to dad getting offed, of course.

    Not sure why he's doing it, but I've been quite enjoying Zeity's little summaries for him.
    Ah.

    I'm doing it because dear old Freako complained that he couldn't access some story or other that I'd posted.

    Hence the precis.

          I see. I appreciate the story summaries too, it's useful. Keep it up!

            Its nice to think that his death did not go to waste.

            After being a TV stand I hope his body went to medical science.

              There seems to be a minute-by-minute account of the court proceedings here

              Never seen a case reported in that much detail and immediacy.
