My good friend has killed his girlfriend - I found this out last night! I am of mxed emotions because I really did not expect this of him. I am still trying to find out what happened but news is slow. We did try dating each other a long time ago but it didnt work, but remained really good friends as we were better friends than together.

I thought about writing to him to see if he is okay, as I cannot see why he would kill her, but I have been told I shouldn't. I am still not sure. I really can't believe it, I have been in a stunned state of mind since last night, I cannot really absorb it.

The last I heard, his girlfriend didnt turn up for work for 4 days and then he called the cops himself and said he needed help and the cops went around to their apartment and he asked to be handcuffed and they found her body - it had been there for about 4 days.

Someone told me that he had a problem with jealously, I am still trying to find out.

Oh my, I would be in a state of shock myself.
My heart goes out to you as I know it must be very hard, and you must be running question after question through your mind. I think you should go with writing the letter if it's something you feel that you need to do. Even writing it out will allow you to get it all out and come to terms with what happened. I dealt with a situation 2 weeks ago, my uncle died and there was an investigation into his death and suspicions that his new wife murdered him. Murder is an ugly word and very hard to deal with no matter what side of it you are on.

Another thing to keep in mind, especially since this is a close friend of yours, is to try and get all the facts. I don't know the circumstances surrounding the incident, and of course don't know the people involved, but is it possible he is innocent? If it is possible, it would be important to him to feel that someone believes in him. But again, I don't know him or the situation.

I am so sorry for the news and we are all here for you

How sad!


Jealousy can be a nasty and hurtful.

Without knowing the full ins and outs i feel sorry for him as well as the girl, because not only does he have what he did on his mind but suffered 4 days himself before plucking up the courage to ring the police.

The mind can be a funny thing when it snaps!.

OH my, I'm soo sorry to hear this! I will be feeling for you Kellye. I wonder what prompts people to do this to the people they love? My father in law's friend and neighbor and my husband's brother's good friend also did something similar, shooting his wife and mother of his two sons. We also wonder, "Why?"
Hugs to you.

Kellye, that's horrible! Whatever happens, he'll need your support, i.e. contact, in the months and years to come, since you know the person behind the "monster" he'll probably be portrayed as. It's difficult to understand how things can go so wrong. Sorry you have to go through this.

Kellye I am so sorry.
What a terrible shock. Sometimes a person's mind gets so fogged up and people can act entirely out of character. It so sad. Follow your gut feelings Kellye.

Kellye, this is so horrible!!!!
I don't know what to tell you either, but if your friend has a problem with jealously it makes me think he could have killed his girlfriend accidently by pushing her during a fight or something.

P.S. Read your pm's.
