Incredibly Gruesome Murder


On January 3rd in an East Texan town near Dallas, was one of the grisliest murder cases this decade. In a fit of anger Christopher Lee McCuin stabbed to death his girlfriend Jana Shearer. What happened next was horrific. He preceded to mutilate her body by cutting off her ear and boiling it on a stovetop and placed a chunk of skin on a plate with a fork stuck in it. He then proceeded to go to his estranged wife's house where he murdered William Veasley, a man she had been seeing. His wife called the cops on him and a chase ensued where he fled to his mother's house and called her out to the garage to show her the body of Veasley. Her and her boyfriend immediantly fled the house. He called 911 himself and told the operate her had killed Shearer and was boiling her body parts. It is still unknown whether or not if he had consumed any body parts of Shearer. He is being charged with capitol murder. Though not the same, the gruesome nature of this murder is similiar to the killing spree that Charles Manson & the "Family" went on in 1969 where innocent people were killed and mutilated in a gruesome manner.
