French Killers Inspired By Breaking Bad TV Show

hcs_$reboot writes: Four people who planned to dissolve a young French woman's body in acid were inspired by hit US TV show Breaking Bad. Two men went to the woman's house to settle a €6,000 drug debt. There, they beat her violently, killing her through a blow to the skull. Later, they bought acid in order to dissolve her body. The victim's body was found decomposing in a flat in Toulouse on Monday night, after having being cut up into pieces, covered in cling film and shoved into a suitcase. Chlorine acid had been used to try and disguise any trace of the corpse. A similar "decomposition" scenario is featured in season one of Breaking Bad (2008-2013).

Yes, it is quite astonishingly nasty stuff. It's actually a weak acid because the Fl really isn't all that keen on letting go of the hydrogen. But also astonishingly reactive. This makes it worse. Spill a strong acid on your skin and it will just destroy it right there and then. HFl, however isn't fully disassociated, so any associated stuff won't react... yet. It will permeate through your skin, start moving to other places and then react.

Truly unpleasant stuff.
