How far would you go for a story?

Just read this headline on the ABC news site
Ok there were extenuating circumstnces, like the victim having an affair with his wife...but talk about taking things to extreme's to write a good book (let's hope it was) guess he'll be doing a lot more writing from jail......
Hope this doesn't mean all Crime writers are now under suspicion......makes me look on Orble angst in a whole different light too.......
This story disturbs me on several levels: If he is innocent then this is CRAZY...imagine if he did it what was going through his head at the book launch etc.....crazy
HERE's THE LINK...dont know whether to laugh or cry about this one
Another link to STORY BACKGROUND

Truth stranger than fiction as Polish author jailed
Posted Thu Sep 6, 2007 0:25am AEST
Polish author Krystian Bala has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for the murder of a businessman after he published a novel which contained details of a similar killing.
The body of the businessman was found near the Polish city of Wroclaw seven years ago.
Prosecutors say Bala had humiliated, tortured, starved and later killed his victim, who had a love affair with the writer's wife.
Bala told authorities that he had taken details of the case from press reports and made up other aspects of the story.

there was a similar case that was just tried here in the US where a budding new woman crime novelist shot her husband in the same manner her character died in her book too...
Geesh, makes ya wonder about certain Orblers eh?
Thanks for the link, strange but...almost tragically funny!

Nick

Frankly, it smuch more preferable that people write about this sort of stuff than actually doing it...but, this guy did it?
If he did...luckily he is a moron and wrote it all down in a novel! Did he admit it? Did he reveal facts only known to the cops? Or is it a case of lazy police work and he got rail roaded into gaol?
Whatever the reason, it is all rather unsettling!!
cheers and keep out of the back yard at midnight...and cemetaries!!!
