As Bessie walked along the road, the murderer raised the stake up to shoulder height and brought it down with his full force on her head. The attacker then brought the 4 foot long sharpened fence stake down on her head again….. and again….. and again. The murderer then dragged her body into the ditch at the side of the road so it wouldn’t be seen by passers by.

True crime

Richard Basson called police to report that he had accidentally stabbed his girlfriend Carrie in the face with a pool cue. He said that he’d been defending himself and she had lunged towards him and impaled herself on the pool cue.
But as soon as officers arrived at the scene, they could see straight away that Richard was lying.
