Murder

Trigger warning: murder, descriptions of murder, feelings during murder

one of the most shocking instances when talking about murder was with this friend who introduced the term perfect murder to me. at a time when murder was not the most common thing to think or discuss about, my friend asked me what i would do to murder a person but leave no traces that i did so, so that i wouldn’t get caught. i did not have enough scientific information to give an answer so i asked the question back at them. they said, an ice pick made of ice. it would be sharp enough to stab the person to death, you wouldn’t need to worry about leaving a fingerprint or DNA because the ice pick would just melt and the water would get rid of all the DNA.

what a wonderful way to kill. then i grew older and watched more shows about murder and realised that the most perfect murder would be to kill a person and not have the authorities suspect that it was a murder. the death would be counted as an accident, natural cause, suicide or anything that doesn’t involve suspect. cyanide? but you’d be able to detect it in the blood or in the food or cup used. but what if it were planned to look like a suicide?

hanging? they don’t make the ceilings like that anymore. drowning? unless its in the bathroom, you might get caught by cameras outside. car accident? the blackbox in the camera has to be taken care of.

so many ways to make a perfect murder.
