My Dots for Thursday, September 06, 2007

A Polish writer has been jailed for committing a murder that he had portrayed in a best-selling novel 5 years earlier. Crazy.

Quoted: But fully five years after the killing, the detective in charge of the investigation, Chief Inspector Jacek Wroblewski, received an anonymous call suggesting he take a look at a novel entitled Amok, written by Krystian Bala and published two years earlier. Ch Insp Wroblewski read the book several times. The similarities with the murder of Dariusz Janiszewski were too strong to be ignored.
