-Caveat Lector- >>>When last in Germany (early 1990ies), we had a little incident associated with the base in which a military member dismembered (hands, feet, and head) his girlfriend and burned the body. The investigation took the police-type peoples to the hobby shop where they had a chipper-shredder to destory oil cans and the like. So, who's to blame? Real life or art? A<:>E<:>R <<<
Print this article | Close this window Sons murdered mother Sopranos-style By Scott Martelle, Christine Hanley and Kimi Yoshino January 29 2003 Two Californian half-brothers accused of murdering their mother re- enacted a scene from The Sopranos TV show when they severed the head and hands from her strangled body before dumping it in a mountain ravine, police said on Monday. The brothers allegedly mutilated the body to keep authorities from identifying it as their mother, an idea one of them told investigators they got from the award-winning series about New Jersey mobsters, police said. Taking another page from the underworld, the brothers first tried to toss the torso into a garbage bin at a construction site but were apparently scared off by a security guard, police said. Victor Bautista, 20, and his brother, Matthew Montejo, 15, were arrested over the weekend after the older brother allegedly admitted to police they had killed their mother, Jane Marie Bautista, 41, whose dismembered body was found in a forest on January 15. Orange County Sheriff Michael Carona said the older brother told investigators their decision to cut the head and hands off the body to obscure its identity came from a Sopranos episode in which Tony Soprano kills an associate and, helped by another character, dismembers the body and dumps the parts. "Based upon his viewing of that show, they decided after they killed their mother, how they would dispose of the body, which was dismemberment," Mr Carona said. Though investigators knew how the killing occurred, they didn't know why. "I don't know what motive you could possibly give for killing your mother, cutting off her head and cutting off her hands," Mr Carona said. According to neighbours, the family had a fractious relationship. "She was always yelling and screaming at them: 'Get in the house. Do your chores', " said Dan Cormier, a former neighbour. Police said the mother was probably killed in the family's flat sometime on January 14, but they could not say where the body was dismembered. If the allegations prove true, the killing would add a gruesome twist to "copycat" deaths from at least eight murders reported after the 1995 release of the movie Natural Born Killers to recent deaths and injuries of people involved in stunts based on Jackass, a television show and film. "The lessons kids learn is obvious," said former senator Paul Simon, an outspoken critic of violence in the media.
