Check out this headline:

Net romance ends in knifing, beating, fire

Ay yi yi. That headline ain't kidding either:

[Spencer] King of Lot 10, Sundown Mobile Home Park, 38 Sundown Road, Palermo, said he grew angry because he found out as they talked throughout Saturday night and early Sunday that Drummond had lied to him about herself in their previous conversations, according to his statement. So he helped her cover her eyes with a bandanna about 5:30 a.m. Sunday, telling her, "I have a surprise for you," his statement said. He did not specify what angered him.

Then he tipped her head back and began stabbing Drummond in the throat with an 8- to 10-inch carving knife that he got from the kitchen and hid in the pocket of his cargo pants, his statement said. Drummond fell off a stool and began fighting, King told police in the statement, so King began stabbing her all over her body more times than he could count.

King told police that when he realized Drummond was still alive, he beat her repeatedly with her TV set, a fan, a kitchen chair and a leg that had broken off the stool, according to his statement.

After cleaning himself, he tossed the smashed TV and a bloody towel in the bushes, discarded the leg of the stool in some weeds and threw the knife in a small pond, court papers said. He then found a bill in the house, which he lighted from the stove and used to set the house ablaze, according to his statement.

King told police that he had thrown a blue blanket over the body and set it ablaze with the flaming envelope.
