- blagoaw, on 05/05/2008, -2/+33Seeing "Facebook murder" as the headline and imagining the connection that it's going to form in peoples' minds, it's probably worth pointing out that this is a classic "jealous man murders his wife for leaving him" murder. Societies throughout history have even enshrined this sort of behavior in their law. Facebook just happens to provide a new communication medium. It's similar to how we don't refer to a murder as a "telephone murder" (not anymore at least).
- mikezerobot, on 05/05/2008, -1/+32Status change: "It's complicated."
- jontalisman, on 05/05/2008, -4/+30Top reason not to announce your splitting via Facebook...
- jumanous, on 05/05/2008, -3/+27Call me old fashioned, but I believe, when married, you become one person, so it follows you own each other. The guy clearly over reacted, but finding out on facebook that your partner of 26 years has been cheating on you is hardly the starting point for rational behavior. Really they both acted equally irrationally and this is the price their kids have to pay. [BAD TASTE]And technically, I believe in L337 speak he did pwn his wife at this point. [/BAD TASTE]
On a side note, how did he suicide by bludgeoning himself to death?? What, did he swing a hammer at his own head... not bloody likely. It all smells fishy to me. - danjal, on 05/05/2008, -1/+22at least say you were quoting the comments on the site by Nina, Reading, England...
- eyepatch100, on 05/05/2008, -3/+21Facebook didn't kill her, a crazed husband killed her.
- Spuds2600, on 05/05/2008, -0/+16Facebook doesn't kill people.... people kill people.
- induren, on 05/05/2008, -2/+18This is not a "facebook murder", please...
- khanable, on 05/05/2008, -2/+18Crazedhusband89 beat down Whorewife88!
- inactive, on 05/05/2008, -2/+16The bitch was cheating on him. Tough luck I say.
- HUSTLER101, on 05/05/2008, -15/+28Another man who wrongly thought that he owned his wife. When are such men going to stop inflicting violence on their wives?
- momsshizzle, on 05/05/2008, -5/+17Good. The bitch wife deserved it for having an affair.
- purelithium, on 05/05/2008, -1/+13No, I think he probably would have killed her regardless of where she announced it. Dragging facebook into this doesn't make sense, in a criminal or civil liability sense. I hate people bashing the daily mail, as it does sometimes have good stories, but this is coming close to trash sensationalism.
- OneManArmy, on 05/05/2008, -3/+15I wouldnt wipe my ass with the dailymail.
- TylerDCA, on 05/05/2008, -0/+11I didn't know that facebook had a relationship status for 'about to leave my significant other...'
- smackafiyah, on 05/05/2008, -0/+10"Both had died of head injuries, although police said Mr Grinhaff's were self-inflicted."
What did he do, just bang his head on the wall really hard a few times? - silveravnt, on 05/05/2008, -0/+9Wow! Two reasons I like this story.
1. He didnt kill the kids. Thats refreshing.
2. I have no experience but I imagine you have to be pretty dedicated to the task to kill yourself with head wounds. No mention is made of a gun. - aceakm, on 05/05/2008, -0/+9Poked for the last time.
- Armando57, on 05/05/2008, -1/+10Why is it when a man kills his cheating wife, "he thinks he owns her". But when a woman kills her cheating husband all we hear are sympathy pieces on how "he must have abused her." Seems to me if she's going to advertise to the world about her cheating and leaving her husband, she isn't the saint this newspaper article is painting her out to be.
- dygel, on 05/05/2008, -0/+8Another one of those stories where the "tech" connection doesn't matter. Domestic violence ended in tears long before Facebook existed.
- inactive, on 05/05/2008, -1/+9My heart goes out to their two girls, and to the husband.
- TheHappyRobot, on 05/05/2008, -0/+7Daily Mail story = buried as inaccurate
- Kyrgizion, on 05/05/2008, -0/+7It's a DailyMail article, what do you expect...
- eyepatch100, on 05/05/2008, -0/+7and their favorite quotes and music!
- inactive, on 05/05/2008, -2/+8Probably around the time when women keep their wedding vows and remain faithful inside the marriage. Not that the man is any way justified for this.
- fidunderground, on 05/05/2008, -1/+7lol
- groovechamp30, on 05/05/2008, -0/+5Digg it down, the Daily Mail are manipulating Digg to get on the front page the whole time...
- sv650touring, on 05/05/2008, -1/+6I thought you used "splitting" as a noun
- forestparks, on 05/05/2008, -6/+10This is really very sad :(
- jontalisman, on 05/05/2008, -1/+5Meant "you're," btw. Was up way too late last night...
- RetepNamenots, on 05/05/2008, -6/+10Buried for the second daily mail 'story' today.
- MacParrot, on 05/05/2008, -0/+4Not to mention he was playing Donkey Kong at the time...
VIDEO GAMES THE CAUSE OF SENSATIONALIST MURDER IN ENGLAND!!!! Where's Jack Thompson when we need him? - Hoov, on 05/05/2008, -1/+5If we outlaw Facebook, then only outlaws will have Facebook.
...then we'll know who all the criminals are! - inactive, on 05/05/2008, -5/+9I will never understand why some men think that they own the woman they are with.
- pyro789x, on 05/06/2008, -0/+3Well he WAS an engineer. Maybe he made some sort of bludgeon-until-dead machine.
- reechme, on 05/05/2008, -3/+6Daily Mail - it's a tabloid, dressed in slutty Knightsbridge clothing. Honestly, it's the whore of sensible paper reporting.
- pe5t1lence, on 05/05/2008, -0/+3I agree, buried.
- inactive, on 05/05/2008, -2/+5Now go ahead and start blaming facebook and all the online social networking sites.
- WriterSD, on 05/05/2008, -1/+4Umm, no, that's just one interpretation. Some Christians may believe this, but they are seriously messed up if they do.
- CaffeinePowered, on 05/05/2008, -0/+3Facebook seems like the perfect medium to announce such a break up. Seriously have people forgotten how to talk to each other unless its through a computer?
- blagoaw, on 05/05/2008, -0/+2That's true. There were lots of ugly skeletons in the closet. I just get the feeling that now, even a lot of "good" and "normal" relationships are uncomfortably competitive - and if I were to find myself in one that matched the normal standard in that way, I'd likely be looking for the eject button.
Also, when someone leaves an abuser, the abuser doesn't disappear - they just get together with someone else. - Sinnic, on 05/05/2008, -0/+2but it's never been so publicly, electronically delicious.
- bitterbug, on 05/05/2008, -2/+4So while you're letting the government butt into your sex life or marriage, what else would you like them to regulate? How about using a condom is illegal and you must support all offspring you create to the age of 50.
- Armando57, on 05/05/2008, -0/+2It's kind of like that guy in Arizona that shot himself in the head with a crossbow. TWICE!
- keepinithamsta, on 05/05/2008, -1/+3Mommy is in the garden fertilizing the flowers...
- sv650touring, on 05/05/2008, -0/+2I don't mind so much if it is a funny one-liner, since the opportunity to laugh at it is fleeting. But some generic "men think they own women" comment doesn't merit a cut-and-paste.
he got buried, you got dugg - liquisoft, on 05/05/2008, -0/+2The internet is public. Not that she deserved to die, but people need to be smarter about what they put out there for the world to see. If she didn't want her husband to know she was leaving him, she should've kept it to herself. Again...she didn't deserve to die. The guy was clearly insane.
- itspuddingtime, on 05/05/2008, -0/+2"to love and obey" ... says it all
- bitterbug, on 05/05/2008, -0/+2Do you know why divorce rates are higher than 50 years ago?
It's because when the marriages turned out to be nightmares people were still so scared of what the church and their neighbors might think they stayed together. And endured the alcoholism, beatings, child abuse, etc. -
