Sometimes life imitates dark art, leading to dire consequences. We discuss two cases of men who perpetrated crimes that imitated scenes from movies and tv shows. The first story is about a case that resembled a scene from Kill Bill Vol. II and the second is about a man who became obsessed with acting out a scene from Breaking Bad. Both cases were instances of domestic violence. They share many similarities, but they also differ in many ways. We discuss the cases, investigations, and all of the factors surrounding each case.If you or someone you know are suffering from domestic violence, you can call the national domestic violence hotline at 800-799-7233 or text "start" to 88788.Sources:Higgins, dave. “Shallow Grave Man Marcin Kasprzak Found Guilty of Murder.” The Independent, 19 Dec. 2011,www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/shallow-grave-man-marcin-kasprzak-found-guilty-of-murder-6279277.html.
