Man Killed Wife Over Facebook Profile

By Alex in Blogs & Internet, Crime & Law on Oct 22, 2008 at 1:01 pm

When Wayne Forrester saw that his wife Emma changed her Facebook profile to "single" just days after he moved out after a fight, he got so angry that he stabbed her to death!

The day before the murder, he called her parents and complained about his wife’s Facebook entry which he said "made her look like a fool", the court heard.

In a statement to police Forrester said: "Emma and I had just split up. She forced me out. She then posted messages on an internet website telling everyone she had left me and was looking to meet other men.

"I loved Emma and felt totally devastated and humiliated about what she had done to me."

In a victim impact statement, Mrs Forrester’s sister Liza Rothery said the murder had had a "devastating" impact on her and parents Frances and Robert. Miss Rothery added: "What on earth could Emma have done to result in such a brutal, callous attack on a defenceless woman?"

Neat stuff from the NeatoShop:

Yeah, I think that after the people in the broccoli and the blogging plant this is kind of too much of a reality check. Thumbs down. This more of the Romaneskos Obscure Store-type material.

A! Husband! Murdered! His! Wife! Over! Facebook!

Hilarious.

This wasn’t a “facebook” issue – this is a domestic violence and murder story. Not fodder for an “oooh cool look at this!” site. Not in good taste at all.

I wonder if she was actually posting messages about meeting other men.

That’s terrible, though, either way.

perhaps alex should change the name to interesting-o-rama? if it was all lolcats and japanese game shows, this site wouldn’t be nearly as interesting.

Wait a minute… handguns are illegal in Britain. How could he have possibly killed her? They’ve got a peaceful kumbaya-humming land since the ban. Right?

Well, maybe not. Too bad she didn’t have the right to properly arm herself for defense.

This reminds me of the guy who killed a taxi driver cause he wanted to see if it was as easy as in GTA4.
What is it that makes them commit these crimes, while thousands of others experience the same thing and are not driven to commit these crimes? These people’s reactions are so foreign that thinking about their thought processes leaves me bewildered.

I’m not one to think that domestic violence is Neat.

My subscription to this feed is done. The irreverence is fucking vile.

This should only be prosecuted as manslaughter. She sounds like she was a real whore.

She should have deleted her husband as a “friend” the minute he walded out the door and definitely before she changed her profile.

Anyone using social networking sites should be stabbed to death full stop.
