Fugitive 'killed, ate woman'
The Australian ^ | 10/7/04 | unknown

Posted on 10/07/2004 1:54:24 AM PDT by beyond the sea

A BRITISH fugitive held in Spain over the brutal murder of a British woman has claimed in a letter to the Daily Mirror that he killed her, then ate her, the mass circulation newspaper said today.

Writing from his prison cell on the Costa Blanca, Paul Durant, 44, who was arrested in February over the killing of Karen Durrell, 41, confessed to having killed her, then cut her up in the town of Calpe in a fit of cannibalism.

"After I killed her, I cut her body into small parts, eating what part of her I found eatable," he wrote, the newspaper reported.

"I finally disposed of what was left in small rubbish bags around Calpe."

He added: "Before I killed Karen I told her I had come to Spain where I was going to kill and eat pedophiles. My mental stage was breaking down at this stage. I believed God had delivered her to me ..."

Durant, who served two prison terms for armed robberies in the 1980s and 1990s, fled to Spain with a bogus passport after escaping police custody last December following an attempted burglary in London, the Daily Mirror said.

Durrell was travelling through Spain with her boyfriend when they met Durant in a bar.

Police who searched a flat in Calpe found blood-stained knives and a saw with traces of human tissue – but not her body.

Two cannibals were eating dinner. One said: "I really hate my sister."

The other replied: "Well then, just eat the noodles."

A cannibal and his son are wandering through the desert and have not eaten in days. They come upon an oasis and decide to camp in the bushes till someone comes. The next morning they awake to see a beautiful woman bathing in the waterfall. As the father watches the water cascade off her body, he is aware of his son at his side.

The boy says " I'm hungry dad, lets eat."

The father replies "This specimen is too good too eat."

The boy grumbles that they have not eaten for days and he is really hungry.

The father says he has a plan. The boy is overjoyed that he will soon eat, so he asks what the plan is...

The father says" We sneak up to the edge of the clearing, and when she comes out of the water, we kidnap her, take her home and Eat Your Mother.

Kill him.

And then serve him, tossed lightly, with croutons.

"I ate my girlfriend"

This is to be expected in a world that has forgotten God. Without morals, what makes human flesh sacred over animal flesh? Nothing. It was missionaries who taught cannibals that you don't eat people. A world that ignores God is a world on a sea without a compass. It is a directionless world. When people turn from God, they lose their ability to tell up from down; left from right. "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil." A world that no longer can discern between true good and true evil is a world that has lost touch with reality.

Morals are difficult to discern from the five senses. Some can. Heterosexual is obviously the designed norm, and is morally better. Everyone has a conscience, but everyone's conscience is not trained. Morals are not discerned from the conscience because the conscience is nothing more than a navigation system. Once the conscience is trained, it is quite good at keeping the individal on course. But the conscience must be trained. An immoral world ignores the guidance God's Word could give. Without the black and white principles of right and wrong which you find in the Bible, the conscience is unequipped and ineffective. Some people only see shades of gray and find themselves crippled, unable to make moral judgments. Such people follow the crowd and trust in the wind.

A man who would "eat his girlfriend" is a person who has long ago lost touch with reality. This kind of departure from reality begins early. I could imagine the man's parent giving a defensive response, "we sure didn't teach him to eat people." But the unanswerable question is, "what did you teach him?" Did you tell him "no", when he needed to be told "no"? Did you teach him at a tender age to say "thank you", and "excuse me", and "please"? Did you teach him to give and be respectful of others? Did you teach him to respect life or did you teach him to respect what makes you feel good. Sloth breeds sloth. Selfish parents make selfish offspring. The Bible tells parents it is their duty to raise up their children to know Him.

There are many people in this very predicament. Though the temporal consequences are different, in the end, sin is sin. Those who vote for politicians who support the murder of babies are no different. Just because their evil has become mainstream does not make it less irrational. People who vote union so ensure a hefty contract are living in darkness. To say "I'm personally against abortion, but support a woman's right to choose" is nonsense and demonstrates disconnection from reality. A person who votes for the candidate who will put someone else's money in my pocket has lost touch with reality. The disconnect occurs the moment I justify murder because the baby is only partially delivered is the moment I've turned off the guidance system. There are Senators and Congressman and Judges and Mayors and City Officianls and Preachers and Parents who have done this. They have no guidance system and have trekked off into deep and murky waters. The world without God is courting disaster. The parent who failed to teach Junior right and wrong has helped to breed the kind of evil that wold "eat my girlfriend."

We need God. We need to learn His ways and seek his forgiveness.

He can crack up his prison pals by saying (in the cafeteria, when they serve chicken): "Hey, this tastes just like human!"

have had to kill her.

If he had chopped her up in Arkansas when Clinton was Governor, it would have been ruled a suicide.

Interestingly, I just finished reading Lord Dunsany's murder mystery "The Two Bottles of Relish" last night.

It caused a small uproar when it was first published; today it would elicit a yawn.
