Vancouver man, 79, was stabbed 130 times for killer’s “fear of homosexuals”

A man has told a Canadian court his “fear of homosexuals” led him to murder an elderly man who he claims propositioned him, the Vancouver Sun reports.

Last week, George Phillip Holt was convicted of stabbing a 79 year old Reginald Haynes 130 times.

Holt said: “I killed the guy by accident.”

The murder occurred in August 2004, when Holt claims Haynes asked him to engage in a sex act for $50.

Holt and Haynes had been living at the Columbia Hotel in Vancouver, but the crime went unsolved for some years.

The defendant testified that he was high on cocaine at the time Haynes asked him to perform oral sex.

He said: “I started to lose it because I have a fear of homosexuals.”

1. WTF? 130 times stabbed is an accident?

:wtf:

[crim son]

2. Accident? Well, accident or not, somebody that fearful

should be locked up for the rest of his natural life, as he is clearly a serious danger to sane society, the vile pig (with apologies to real pigs everywhere).

3. If I drop a egg on the floor thats an accident, if I do it 130 times...

4. What bullshit

But if he "loses it" and stabs someone 130 times out of fear he is an obvious menace to society and should be locked up for the rest of his life.

5. Disgusting.

This 'man' deserves life in prison with no chance of parole.

Ever.

6. If he "accidentally" stabs someone 130 times,

he should be locked up before he does it again. Accident, my ass.
