And you thought you were having a bad day...
So, imagine, you've just killed your wife. That could be the start of a bad day. Then you cut her head off, and in the process of taking the head to its hiding place, you crash your car and the head flies out the back; all while a local police officer observes the crash and the head as it goes flying out of the car. How does your day get worse? You just killed two people (a mother and child, no less) in the crash and so you will also be charged with double vehicular homicide, in addition to the plain old homicide of your wife.
The only day that will be worse than yesterday for this guy is the day his pro bono defense attorney tries to find a sympathetic jury.

i've got nothing remotely witty to say here.
this is just plain tragic.

It's horribly tragic. And so improbable, a mathematician would have calculated the odds of this all happening at near zero. But that's the rub with mathematics...near zero isn't zero. Proof positive.

It could've been pretty funny had he been the one to die in the car accident (he would've got what he deserved), however, it's tragic that two innocents died in this insane chain of events. I do have one question; what was he doing driving with his wife's severed head in the car? I mean, wtf?!

It's quite amusing in that Shakespearean tragic manner.

Yeah that's kind of how I saw it. Now, if it was my wife and daughter, or friends of mine, of course I wouldn't see it that way. But from a distance, it's a head-shaker.
