A psychopath in Maryland kidnapped a pregnant, homeless woman and attempted to cut the fetus out of her body — after holding her captive for nearly 5 days. Qu’est-ce que fuck?!
Veronica Deramous kept her victim bound with duct tape until she was ready to to cut the baby out with a razor blade and box cutters.
Sometime over the weekend, police said, Deramous turned up the volume on the TV, shoved a rag in the woman’s mouth and put a piece of tape over it. Then she uttered a chilling warning.
“You’re strong,” Deramous told her victim, according to police. “You can handle what I’m going to do to you.” [WP]
Clearly after all that, Deramous needed a nap, and the still pregnant — still CUT OPEN — woman was able to escape.
Deramous has been arrested. Mother and child are recovering.
Deramous’ 17-year-old son had no clue what was going on in the back bedroom. Right.
Josef Fritzl was found guilty of all charges: deprivation of liberty, enslavement, coercion, rape, incest, and murder by neglect.
He’s not off to prison, but a “secure psychiatric facility”. Daily Mail speculates that it could be Gollersdorrf — a prison for the criminally insane that is currently home to Robert Ackermann, the teenage killer cannibal of Vienna. Whew, that’s a mouthful.
Standard trial coverage at BBC; sensationalist coverage and creepy close ups of Fritzl at Daily Mail. And KUDOS to Daily Mail for the brilliant sobriquet “Cellar monster”.
Josef Fritzl’s trial started today in Austria. This is the douche who was keeping his daughter in the cellar. SINCE 1984 — nearly 25 YEARS! And three of the SEVEN children he fathered with her were kept in the windowlesssoundproofedcellar as well.
Oh, but Josef had a “very difficult childhood” himself, so you can see how it’s not his fault.
And how clueless is his wife Rosemarie who allegedly HAD NO IDEA what was going on in the basement?! Just, wow.
Three worthless pieces of scum held a teenage boy captive for nearly a year and a half. They kept him chained at the ankles, and beat him with martial arts sticks, household objects, and a bat. They not only BEAT him with a bat, they SEARED him with a heated aluminum bat.
The kid was amazingly lucky to escape. Douchebag #1, his guardian and wielder of the heated aluminum bat, nervily said, “I’m glad he escaped and I hope he’s OK. I never wanted any of this to happen.” Well duh! Clearly she did everything she could to prevent him from being kidnapped, imprisoned, beaten and tortured.
