Yes, strangle your drinking buddy so that you can be sent to prison, where hopefully you'll end up in the same prison and same cellblock as the guy who ate your girlfriend so you can kill him...

Something tells me he had more than a few pints to come up with that one (although I don't buy his defense that he had PTSD and other "mental disorders").
The guy who killed the girlfriend has to be a real treat as well. Is there something in the water (or in the lager) around there?
Following a five-day trial Taylor was today convicted of murder and sentenced to life with a minimum tariff of 13 years.
The jury at Teesside Crown Court heard how Julie Paterson was murdered in 1998 by Harker, then aged 24, who was given an indeterminate life sentence the following year.
Her body was found in Polam Lane, Darlington, - without its head and limbs.
Harker, who admitted eating part of her leg with pasta, has never disclosed where the remains are hidden.
Taylor said his life was never the same after seeing his partner's dismembered torso, and that he thought about his former girlfriend every day, and wondered about what Harker had done with her body parts.
The court heard that Taylor and Mr Morrison, 45, had been "sometime friends" because of their heavy drinking.
Taylor was living at a Salvation Army hostel in Tom Raine Court, Darlington, where the killing took place.
The court was told that Taylor arrived at the flat with four cans of strong lager and a two-and-a-half-litre bottle of cider, and the two friends began drinking.
The jury heard that Taylor called police about five hours later and told the operator: "I'm very sorry to say, but I've just killed someone."
Taylor told police he had throttled Mr Morrison and then took the belt from his trousers and tightened it around his neck before he strangled him some more.
He said he then put a duvet over him and said a prayer for him before he fled the flat, bought more lager and went to a phone box to call police.
Taylor then told detectives: "I hope to go to Wakefield. I want Harker next - bastard Harker. I want him as well - unfinished business."
