Serial killer-obsessed mum found guilty of stabbing lover to death as he slept

  1. Sounds a very toxic situation all round, tbh, but:

    >Prosecutors said she ‘snapped’ out of ‘jealousy’ after finding messages on his phone with a 13-year-old girl.

    There will be people who defend her because of that.

  2. “She was probably enamoured with Frankie Fitzgerald because of how well he performed in bed.”

    There’s so many things off about that line. Like, first, women don’t tend to start murdering people if they think they are gonna lose a good shag, what she did shouldn’t be normalised. Second, is it just me or does it sort of imply he should have seen it coming or at the very least reduce the amount of culpability assigned to her, because it kind of implies that… ‘well if he was such a good shag *of course* she was gonna go batshit at the prospect of missing out’? Third and finally, does it not (along with the phrase ‘crime of passion’) kind of detract from how much of a cunt she had to be to resort to murder…as well as all the follow up she did of trying to create a false alibi etc.

    Plus, given that she then called a friend and fucking *showed them the corpse while giggling*, it suggests she got a great deal of enjoyment out of the whole thing, rather than it being a moment of madness. She’d told this friend months before that she planned to murder him. It’s like the opposite of a crime of passion, isn’t it?

    It also seems a bit fucked that details of his sex life have been aired in public because of this.

  3. Sounds like she has some underlying mental health issues and her obsession with serial killers was the straw that broke the camel’s back. It was clearly a bad relationship on both sides and one just snapped first and snapped hard.

  4. >She told the court she had ‘hit him in the neck’ with the dagger mistakenly, having meant to grab a money box beside her bed.

    Haha. “Want anything from the shop?”
    “Sure, a pint of milk…let me get you some money with this knife….oops-a-daisy”

  5. Amongst all the other crazy stuff about this, the article mentions trying to get the friend to vouch for her or at least back up her alibi (I’m guessing the friend was a key witness in the court proceedings….)

    > She proceeded to show her friend Mr Fitzgerald’s body, including a close-up of an ‘enormous’ knife wound.

    > …

    > Afterwards she pivoted toward portraying herself as a victim, sending Ms Baitup clips from the couple’s sex tapes edited together to make it look like he had raped her and been violent toward her.

    > …

    > But prosecutors revealed how she had previously told Ms Baitup: ‘I just lost it. I just lost it. I picked up my dagger and stabbed him in the neck.’
