While we might continue to report on the fun and highly profitable side of Facebook the social network carries the scars of horror. In a most shocking report today, a man was accused of killing his ex girlfriend. The reason? Simply because the man saw his ex girlfriend photo album that had her with another guy.
The guy had murdered her back in 2009 when he came to know about this. Apparently the wasn’t cheating on him or anything and she had tried to bring an end to their relationship appropriately and didn’t inform him that she was now with a new friend. But I guess it wasn’t too easy for the guy to tolerate that and like any wild beast he resorted to the most heinous act.
The man accused, Paul Bristol is an Internet Technician by profession and his girlfriend, Camille Mathurasingh was an accountant. This isn’t the first time such an incident has taken place in connection with Facebook. A similar incident took place in 2008 when a 41 year old guy killed his wife when she changed her status to single and another one in 2008 when a 35 year old guy killed his wife all because she said her marriage was over and she wanted another guy.
I understand that Facebook is quite an essential part of a person’s life now. But there is definitely no point in taking it to such a serious level. But I guess that is too late for now. People will continue to take it far more seriously as time goes by and people find more reason to take it seriously in all walks of life. Gone are the days when employees were fired because they made a nasty comment on their social networking profile. I just hope people get some sense knocked into their heads and such acts be avoided.

[...] not joking about anything here but if people can murder others for posting photos with a new boy friend, others can definitely get fired for posting photos fooling around [...]
