Murderers have always lurked among us. Victims are beaten to death. They stab people. They shoot people.
Going through the cases, we see that’s just the start. We have the man who stomped his wife to death in a fit of rage over perceived infidelity, someone who beat his mother to death with a hammer, and another who tried to run over the victim with a car.
There’s a particularly gruesome case of a man accused of killing his underage girlfriend, cutting her into pieces, and then leaving the corpse to rot in the trunk of a car.
And when it’s too much trouble or too risky to carry out the dirty work themselves, there’s always the option of hiring a hitman.
What do all these cases have in common? They all involve musicians doing the deed, sometimes successfully, sometimes not.
This is Episode 77 of Uncharted: Crime and Mayhem in the Music Industry. This time, all our stories are about musicians who murder, or who have at least tried to.
