Quotes on the horror of death (murder)? Paragraph perhaps?

Question

I need a long quote or paragraph on the horrors of death (murder). I want it to be string emotional chords. It can be from a famous person, an editorial in a newspaper or whatever. Thanks!

Answer 1

There are editorials here about two different cases:

Answer 2

Edgar Allen Poe would probably be your best bet. There is also Delia's Gone, by Johnny Cash.
