snipped from the rest of the article:
"I thought it was impossible to derive pleasure from a man unless you were gay," he said. "I was having serious questions about my sexuality."
Merel then grew angry, slapping Araujo twice as others punched her and pushed her up against a wall. He then went into the kitchen, he said, grabbed a tin can and tried to scare Araujo with it. He then picked up a frying pan and hit her in the head, he said.
Prosecutors say Magidson pulled a rope toward Araujo's neck after she had been tied up, and the accused killers buried Araujo's body in El Dorado National Forest.
Sounds a lot like what we might call an "honor killing" in other communities. (I'm embarrassed, I won't take personal responsability for my actions, therefore, I HAD to kill this person to save my manhood". ) Disgusting.
Just because he called himself a "her" does not mean the newspaper reporter has to. Sheeeesh! Truth - he was a he. Sticking to the truth instead of venturing into the perverted fairyland of deception may have prevented a whole lot of trouble here.
'Anybody who can lift a frying pan owns death.'
