Schoolgirl blogger poisons mother in homage to killer

<snip> From Leo Lewis in Tokyo

A HIGH-SCHOOL girl has been arrested for gradually poisoning her mother to the brink of death and keeping a blog of her progress � all done as a grim homage to a British serial killer whom she idolised.

Over the summer the 16-year-old student is alleged to have laced her mother�s food with increasing doses of thallium, a potent rat poison. Her mother is now critically ill and in a coma.<snip>

2. Unlikely She Will - Thallium Is An Ugly Poison

If she's in a coma, chances are she's not going to make it.

6. The girl's blog is terrifying

She is a true, textbook psychopath, right down to the torture and murder of small animals when she was younger.

7. a blogger?!?

Did this really happen, or is this another one of those 'fanfictions', where someone has a blog and it's really a bunch of fiction?

8. There was an episode of "Mystery" years ago similar to this

Scared the bejeesus out of me.
The BBC series "Mystery"
The episode was "Mother Love"
It starred Diana Rigg and David McCallum

9. This is so scary...

I read things like this, and then I think of my 3 kids, all grown, 2 sons in their 40s, daughter soon to be 39...and they are so very good to me, would do anything for me. I haven't been a perfect mother, but we have always been close...what would cause someone to want to hurt another? This absolutely floors me when I hear about things like this.
