万花筒 2008-12-07&12-08 三角恋酿悲剧

Big story.

 

A lawyer with a kinky secret is dead tonight after a love triangle took a bizarre and violent turn, just how did S&M, become a recipe for sex and murder. Arthur Chi'en is live outside the victim's Midtown Law Firm to explain, Arthur.

Oh, Chris，who can really say that they know the intimate details and the personal lives of the people that they work with? And who can say that they wouldn’t want to know? Unfortunately the details of the life of one lawyer who worked at a prominent firm here in New York is front and center tonight after his murder in Philadelphia earlier this week.

It was the business of sado-masochism that prompted Long Islander Edythe Maa, AKA"Jade Vixen" to supplement her Ivy¹ League PhD pursuits, specializing in forced feminization, medical play and torture. The fetish dominatrix shared an S&M lifestyle with Manhattan Attorney Anthony Ottaviano from the prestigious² Midtown Firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison³. The lawyer's death front-paged news today after he was murdered in Philadelphia by David Krieg, an iron pumping stalker and former client of Maa's taking her hostage.

Krieg eventually released the dominatrix. A police hunt surrounded the weak corner of the love triangle. A 9-hour standoff ended with Krieg committing suicide. The incident earlier this week was quiet at the time and is now the focus of tabloids⁴. His law firm speaking of the loss released a statement, saying (quote) "We are saddened by this tragedy and extend our condolences to Anthony's family. He was a good colleague, a diligent⁵ lawyer, people liked him. He will be missed.”

Now certainly investigators⁶ have not drawn⁷ any connections to the victim's lifestyle and how things turned out here. And certainly in our experience, we've seen plenty of love triangles turned violent that have nothing to do with their sexual lifestyles, but still the outcome here a shock to many a people, and apparently⁸ the old adage⁹ is true that sex perhaps does sell.

We are live in Midtown tonight, Arthur Chi'en, for the CW Eleven News at Ten, I'm sorry, for PIX News at Ten, back to you guys. Hey, thank you, Arthur.
