Resident Evil Blamed For UK Murder

[drizzt]

A UK based newspaper published in Norfolk has blamed the torturing and murder of a man on the popular survival horror franchise, Resident Evil. Derek Blake, aged 44, was discovered in a bath of water in a flat in Great Yarmouth on May 24th. Ricky Roys, 20, Andrew Brown, 42, and Helen Cooke, 19, all pleaded guilty to murder and each will serve a minimum of 18 years.

A pathologist discovered that the victim had suffered over 104 separate injuries and wounds, prompting the pathologist to label it a “painful and humiliating” ordeal. The comparison to the Resident Evil games came from one of the killers as he compared the alcohol driven attack to the graphic video-games. The attack included horrible acts of mutilation such as pouring boiling water on the victim and inflicting cuts and burns all over his body. The letter “J” was also carved into the side of his face.

Judge Peter Jacobs said:

“This was a murder involving sadistic conduct. This went far beyond a punishment beating and the infliction of this many injuries confirms you intended to kill him.

Prosecutor Graham Parkin had earlier told the court:

“A claw hammer, a boning knife and another knife were found in the flat and these had been used in the attack. Mr Blake may have survived for some hours after the attack. He would have been conscious for much of that and would have been in extreme pain. Acts of torture took place – sadistic acts.”

LOL I'm pretty sure a video game had nothing to do with fucking those people up. You can't damage something that is already destroyed...

These Psychos would have killed the guy anyways and are trying to put the blame on a video game to make it seem like it wasn't just their own fucked up heads that was the reason behind the murder...

I really with they could bring all the Psychos like these guys together and have a "Burning of the Scum" day. All these people are sick and need to be put down, not just have 18 years of jail. I don't want these sick freaks to just serve a few years in jail and then be released to the world to continue killing. A few years of jail will not and cannot cure retard...

They'll do anything nowadays to blame video games. To be fair. There are a lot more graphic movies that influence it more than games would

I don't know who to side with. If anything though blame the alcohol instead of a damn video game.
