In a fit of rage during an argument, a man stabbed his 42-year-old partner to death. He then took his own life. When emergency responders arrived at the scene, neither of them could be revived, and both were pronounced dead.
The woman’s body showed 55 knife-inflicted wounds, including stab and slash injuries. Some of the wounds were on her hands, suggesting that she actively tried to defend herself.
Experts say it’s not possible to inflict 55 wounds on someone while in an unconscious, so-called “mental blackout” state. This was pure rage, but he was fully aware of what he was doing.
