03/31/09Man Murders Girlfriend Over GTA 4

[Dark Blue]

A Lincolnshire man has stabbed the mother of his children multiple times as a result of her obsession with GTA.

The court heard testimony this week that Malcolm Palmer, 62, stabbed Carol Cannon, 46, 20 times with a pair of knives. The attack was the culmination of events that, apparently, began with the purchase of a PS3 for their son, James.

James was allowed to play until midnight, at which point, mother Carol would take over and play GTA, frequently until five or six in the morning. Carol apparently enjoyed her gaming enough to bring the 37 inch plasma screen into the bedroom, forcing Palmer to sleep on the couch.

Palmer became convinced that she was having an affair, and when she said she was moving out in November last year, he was said to enter a "violent rage".

James called the police after the attack. When they were on the line, his father took the phone from him and told the authorities, "I'm sorry. I think I've killed her."

Palmer will be sentenced tomorrow after admitting to the murder charge.

She deserved it. Did any of you even read this article?

She did cheat on him, made him sleep on teh couch and totaly neglected his feelings...yeah she's a bitch
Though not a reason to stab her 20 times with a pair of knives, there aint no reason to kill people at all..

The fact is, men lack justice when it comes to divorce and separation. Men always pay child support, alimony.. They often lose their house, car, etc... When it's the mans fault, fine. But in this case, divorce would leave his life broken and empty. Not to mention that marriage should be reason enough not to cheat, and call me old fashioned, but I believe that marriage if not kept under its rules, should be destroyed from within.

the true words of a wise man have been spoken

Was thinking the same, i was expecting it to be him murdering her because he couldn't play GTA, not the other way around.
