Woman gets murdered by drug dealers over debt, officials blame Breaking Bad - Polidicks

[quote]A 23-year old student has been found dead inside a suitcase in the southern city of Toulouse, in a suspected revenge killing. The victim is said to have been killed after failing to pay back a 6,000 euro debt to her drug traffickers. Four people are in custody for premeditated manslaughter. The victim's body was found decomposing in a flat in Toulouse on Monday night, after having being cut up into pieces, covered in cling film and bunged into a suitcase.[/quote] Article's got some really bad translation going (it's premeditated murder, not manslaughter), ignore that.

BB never even cut a person up and put it in a suitcase. They're being stupid.

That's a bit sensational. [quote]Apparently chlorine acid had been used to try and disguise any trace of the corpse Her killers did everything to avoid getting caught... Going so far as to barricade the victim's door from police and blasting the flat with air freshner to hide the rotting smell It's believed they were inspired by the American prison series "Breaking Bad."[/quote] It's not unreasonable to think that they got cover up method inspiration from BB; I'm pretty sure dissolving a body in acid is a rare method of doing such a thing. It's just that the article title is clickbait and made to sound like they killed her [I]because[/I] of Breaking Bad.

"American prison series: Breaking Bad." What?

Guy was beheaded by a group of criminals, officials blame Game of Thrones

[QUOTE=SebiWarrior;48407714]BB never even cut a person up and put it in a suitcase. They're being stupid.[/QUOTE] In Breaking Bad they killed people then put their bodies into barrels with acid. Same disgusting concept.

[QUOTE=BlackBirdNL;48407725]"American prison series: Breaking Bad." What?[/QUOTE] I like how no matter how popular the subject is, journalist manage to know nothing about it.

Chlorine Acid? They probably mean hydrochloric acid, or maybe other acids containing chlorine, but none of those would have the same effect at the hydrofluoric acid they showed in Breaking Bad (which, by the way is also exaggerated in what it can do.)

Speaking from personal experience, if you end up owing the wrong kind of people a large enough sum of money they are either going to fuck you up severely, kill you or harm your family. My friend's cousins ended up owing a biker gang like somewhere around 5 grand for drugs and they threatened to burn down their family home (They were still living at home, the brothers)

Concentrated sodium hydroxide is by far the best method of disposing of dead bodies.

Isn't using a base better than an acid as it has less leftover?

[QUOTE=Pw0nageXD;48410365]Isn't using a base better than an acid as it has less leftover?[/QUOTE] There's no sense in that, acids and bases are pretty much exactly the same thing, just react in a different way because they are opposite ends of a scale. However, I would none the less use something alkaline because most of the body is acidic and therefore would react better/faster with a base.

[QUOTE=agentfazexx;48408231]In Breaking Bad they killed people then put their bodies into barrels with acid. Same disgusting concept.[/QUOTE] They did the same shit in Hotline Miami 2. Its not something BB created.

Acidic hydrolysis is an equilibrium process, whereas alkaline hydrolysis proceeds to completion.

[QUOTE=agentfazexx;48408231]In Breaking Bad they killed people then put their bodies into barrels with acid. Same disgusting concept.[/QUOTE] Doesn't work too well (as a group of murderers found out here like 15 or 20 years ago) If you seal the barrel, it tends to explode.

How do they expect to get 6k back if the person who owes it is dead.

[QUOTE=Aide;48414335]How do they expect to get 6k back if the person who owes it is dead.[/QUOTE] It's to set an example to others. If you don't pay us on time you get fucked up.

Actually people would be less likely to deal with them, as they wouldn't want to get killed themselves.

[QUOTE=1chains1;48415202]Actually people would be less likely to deal with them, as they wouldn't want to get killed themselves.[/QUOTE] But if you are addicted and in need of a quick fix you can get quite desperate. And as long as you pay for your stuff and don't snitch they have no reason to kill you.

They probably just got really angry and shit got out of hand. Doubt they meant to actually kill her considering they started by beating her really badly.

The officials were dumb for saying it, the first article writer is a complete moron for calling it a 'prison show'. Really? You don't even know what breaking bad is about? You could literally look it up and know it's not a prison show.

I assume they got confused with prison break.

[QUOTE=littlefoot;48408232]I like how no matter how popular the subject is, journalist manage to know nothing about it.[/QUOTE] Hey don't tar all us journalists with the same brush. This is bad journalism. This person is a bad journalist. A good journalist wouldn't make that mistake because at the very least they'd do a bit of research first.
