Why would anybody feel the need to stab somebody nearly 200 times??

Question

surely they would be died after the 1st few

how can anybody be hated so much that something this terrible could happen?

i've heard in the news many terrible things but what happend to these 2 french guys has really shocked me

i just cannot understand the ferociousness of the murders

Answer 1

It was either someone who was extremely emotionally disturbed -- or they just hated those guys so intensely, they couldn't stop.

And people talk about crime in the US....

Answer 2

depends on what they've done

Answer 3

I imagine the person who stabbed them was either a psychopath or high on drugs.  It is terrible and I am ashamed to be English.

Answer 4

I agree it was awful and you are right there is no need to stab someone with that much hatred. The person or person's must have been crazy. No one deserves to die like that. I hope they rest in peace those poor guys.

Answer 5

It's what they call overkill & sometimes indicates that the killer knew the victim.

Answer 6

thats taking it overboard.

maybe 100.

but deffinaty not 200.

Answer 7

Self defence

Answer 8

Overkill often indicates that the killer was emotionally involved with the victim, it's not something one typically sees in a burglary or other stranger crime. IE has to be a lot of anger built up.

Or, as others have said, the killer was high on drugs/alchohol and/or nucking futz. Or the killer gets off on stabbing people.

Answer 9

Some people are coo-coo for Cocoa-Puffs, and some people are completely batshit loco. Someone who stabs somebody 200+ times has gone well past batshit loco and needs to be put down.

Answer 10

The murderer would most likely to have been a PCP (phencyclidine) addict,

Read up on this particularly strange man-made drug, it will answer your question.

Answer 11

This is what is happening in London and many cities around the UK.

It is not about being hated,I believe it is about drugs,gang culture,lack of any moral and discipline,grow up without values and love and so on...

Many parents should not be parents.....they are creating monsters,their children have so many mental,social,emotional problems.

The result of bad parenting is all around us and in the news.

Answer 12

That's England.  I know, sad.

Answer 13

At the risk of making a sweeping statement this kind of ferocity seems to have become more common as the amount of crack use increases. Whether psychopaths are particularly partial to this drug or it turns people that way is a moot point, but violence can get quite insane in the crack scene. Crack may well not be involved but if the intruder(s) were on it I wouldn't be surprised.

Answer 14

Surely by "nearly" you meant "over".

Whoever did that is just pure evil. Probably born evil and bred evil.

And it goes to show how easy it is to get away with the cruellest things under the current government... yes, it's shocking, it shocked the life out of me, and neither can I understand why people go and kill each other in England when they don't in Scandinavia, but then again, they have a complete different constitution, where most parties have their say on laws, whereas here, the "winner" takes and administrates it all.

And now you see the results of that disgrace known as a Labour government.

Answer 15

I saw a video on HBO on Demand.  Two white guys stabbed a blackman 66 times before the cops even tried to help. I think he died

Answer 16

What are u talking about french guys? i havnt heard nothign about that!

Do you know how many killing have been happening in London? young teenagers?

Answer 17

If I found the person who kept reporting all the Qs on here I imagine I could get pretty close.....LOL

Nah, sick joke there - yup I agree psycho plus they must be fit - try doing that to a joint of meat - the person must have been derranged

Answer 18

It is absolutely despicable.Shocking to the core.

There is some very evil people out there.

Answer 19

News reports keep saying that the motive was robbery, but I don't believe that. You don't stab someone that many times just to steal their stuff, there has to be another reason for that amount of ferocity.
