Good God, the video of a carnival ride malfunctioning in Ohio is one of the most unnerving things I've ever seen. There was a fatality in this one, though it's not gory in and of itself. Still, it's as hell.

A nephew who thought his uncle had died in an accidental house fire was searching for information about his family tree when he discovered horrific footage revealing that he was in fact killed in a sadomasochistic sex session, a court has heard.

Christopher Murgatroyd was looking at Peter Fasoli’s fire-damaged computer two years after Fasoli’s death in January 2013 when he discovered video of his uncle being bound, gagged and killed by fantasist Jason Marshall, a jury at the Old Bailey was told.

The jury heard that music from Wagner and Mendelssohn played during the attack in which Fasoli, 58, was smothered after Marshall tricked his way into his home. Afterwards he set fire to the victim’s one-bedroom bungalow in Northolt, west London, to cover up the killing, it was alleged. Marshall, 28, of East Ham, east London, denies murder.

Prosecutor Edward Brown QC warned jurors that the attack was “as shocking as it was determined” before playing extracts from the video, which went on for six hours.

The defendant first got in contact with Fasoli, a computer repairman, through a dating website and offered to arrange a threesome, the court heard. Marshall arrived at the victim’s home at around 7pm on 6 January 2013, purporting to be a police officer and carrying a police utility belt, handcuffs and a pistol holster.

During sexual roleplay, Marshall stripped the victim and arrested him for “being a spy” and hacking into a government laptop, the court heard. Fasoli was threatened with a knife and forced to hand over his cash card pin numbers, the court heard.

Marshall muttered “suspect detained” after injecting him with a drug to “put you to sleep while I go to the cash machine”, it was alleged. The victim then screamed that he could not breathe. Marshall, who was shown in the video wearing latex gloves, also held a plastic bag over his victim’s head, jurors were told.

“There is an ominous determination and seriousness in the way the defendant is carrying out the task, as he sees it,” said Brown. “There is no emotion, no panic, no regret.”

As Fasoli lay dying on the floor, Marshall allegedly stood and “calmly” lit a cigarette, then made the sign of the cross and recited a blessing for the departed in Latin and the word “resurrection”.

It is alleged that Marshall withdrew £400 in cash from Fasoli’s account and used his card to buy a flight to Rome.

A postmortem examination initially gave the cause of death as inhalation of fire fumes, but a re-examination found that Fasoli was still alive when the fire was set. Restraint and asphyxia also contributed to his death, Brown said.

I'm as disturbed by the headline as I am by the content of the article. The "sex session" didn't sound so much like kinky hi-jinx gone wrong so much as the luring of a victim and then his eventual torture and killing. To describe it as a "sex session" is...distrubing. I frown on the editor's shenanigans.

Mr. Flunchy posted:

Well it does say he tied him up during a sex session, so presumably there's some loving going on in the video pre-torture.

A man convicted of the grisly sex-slaying of a fellow Salvation Army hostel resident begged the victim's devastated family for forgiveness yesterday as he was sentenced to life in prison.

Mark Allan Valkonen, 35, was charged with first-degree murder in the March 2003 slaying of 19-year-old Kyle Driscoll, but pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in a plea bargain in Queen's Bench yesterday.

According to an agreed statement of facts filed in court, Valkonen and Driscoll, both residents of the Salvation Army hostel for men in downtown Edmonton, were together in Valkonen's bedroom sometime around March 2, 2003.

Valkonen bound Driscoll's hands and ankles tightly with bootlaces and shoelaces and wrapped a long bootlace around Driscoll's neck. Driscoll died of ligature strangulation from the bootlace around his neck.

Valkonen also had anal sex with Driscoll, though Crown prosecutor Marilena Carminati said it was impossible to tell whether the sex occurred before or after Driscoll died.


She also said there was no evidence to show whether it was consensual.

Valkonen wrapped Driscoll's body in garbage bags and taped the bags around the corpse. He took wooden slats out of his mattress box and hid the body there.

To explain the putrid stench wafting from his room, Valkonen told hostel residents he had a bowel infection. He put tape over his vents and baking soda boxes around the room.

Hostel caretakers discovered Driscoll's rotting corpse on March 25, when they went in to clean the room. Valkonen had been booted out of the hostel the night before, following an altercation with some residents.

In a victim impact statement she read aloud through tears and sobs, Driscoll's mother, Cindy Hogg, said her family has been shattered by guilt over her firstborn son's death.

Driscoll had been going through a "difficult time" when he moved into the hostel, said Hogg. "Many of us wish we had done more to help him... I know I'll never forgive myself for not letting him stay home."

Hogg told court she still gets flashbacks of how she could smell the stench of her son's body all the way down the hall when she went to view him.

Valkonen, a chubby, balding man with reddish hair and a goatee, didn't cry until his lawyer told court his deviant sexual fantasies were due to sexual abuse he suffered as a teen - at the hands of a male family friend - after his father died.

Addressing Driscoll's family, Valkonen said if he could take back what he'd done to Kyle, he would.

"I humbly beg you to please forgive me for what I've done, and listen to me one last time when I say that I am very, very sorry."

Valkonen was convicted of criminal negligence causing death in the 2001 bondage death of Shaun Peterson, 23, in a Leduc hotel. Peterson was strangled from a shoelace tied around his neck.

Around the time he murdered Driscoll, Valkonen was on a chemical castration drug.

He will be eligible to apply for parole in 10 years.
