Whoops.

A South African man has been found guilty of killing an interior designer after she criticised his curtains.

"She [Beatrice Harrowyn, 47] did not make any nice comments about my place, so I went to my garage and fetched an axe," said Jose Da Silva, 37.

He said that "voices" had told him to become a serial killer but the judge found him guilty of murder.

He also criticised the police for taking six weeks to arrest him, saying he had left clues for them to follow.

"It should have taken two days. It was their job to arrest me. I pay taxes and [thus] their salary."

A former colleague testified that [the South African] had changed after going into a coma following a heart bypass operation.

That says good things about SA medical care. You can have surgery, endure a coma, and still have enough piss and vinegar left in ya to become an axe murderer.
