American Psycho Killer Loved Techno

Text by Jonty Skrufff (Skrufff.com)

A sick American psychopath who allegedly murdered a ten year old girl and planned to eat her, was a techno fan who loved Fatboy Slim, it emerged this week.

FBI agents found the brutalised body of Jamie Rose Bolin in a plastic tub inside a wardrobe in Kevin Underwood's flat in Purcell, Oklahoma, last Friday two days after the ten year old girl disappeared while out riding her bike. The 26 year old shelf stacker lived in the apartment directly underneath and reportedly told FBI officers when they knocked at his door 'go ahead and arrest me, she's in there, I chopped her up'.

"This appears to have been part of a plan," Purcell police chief David Tompkins told reporters, "To kidnap a person, rape them, torture them, kill them, cut off their head, drain the body of blood, rape the corpse, eat the corpse, then dispose of the organs and bones." (The Times)

The killer, described by neighbours as 'quiet' and 'boring', had no criminal record though maintained a blog which hinted at his inner self.

"If people knew the kinds of things I think about any more, I'd probably be locked away. No probably about it, I know I would be," he wrote on one posting, also listing favourite bands and genres including Pink Floyd, 'Punk Rock', techno and Fatboy Slim as well as another entry, which with hindsight now looks shockingly sinister.

"If you were a cannibal, what would you wear to dinner?" Underworld asks himself, replying 'the skin of last night's main course.'
