I’ve been reading about the woman who has gone on trial in Austria accused
of murdering first her ex-husband and then her current partner, a charge she
has admitted. It seems she subsequently cut their bodies into pieces and
encased them in concrete in the basement of her ice cream parlour.
Not much of a story there, I suppose; we’ve heard it all
before. What interested me was the fact that the psychiatric report said she
was ‘like a princess who just wanted to be rescued by a man.’ It occurred to me
that:
1) The feminists will probably be jotting the facts excitedly
in their notebooks under the heading ‘Women Who Want to be Rescued.’
2) Goidsargi Estibaliz Carranza Zabala isn’t exactly a
snappy name for a princess, is it? The men should have seen through that one.
3) I think we should issue a health warning to all frogs:
Princesses May Be Perilous.
And as a footnote, it also appears that she kept their
remains in her ice cream freezers for a while. I wonder which
flavour.
