London Man Takes Eminem Obsession Too Far
A young British man obsessed with Eminem was recently sentenced to life in prison after beating a woman to death in a plot eerily resembling Slim Shady's song "Stan."
21-year-old Christopher Duncan reportedly dressed like Eminem and had the same tattoos as the blonde lyricist. Word is Duncan forced the victim, Jagdip Najran, 26, to submit to an unusual sexual act before beating her in the head with a metal baseball bat. Reports say she was still alive after the beating, but was then stuffed into a suit case where she died.
"You have an abnormal and unhealthy interest in violence and in particular, sexual violence toward women," Judge David Paget told Duncan at the sentencing before adding, "It will never be safe to release you."
Reports say Duncan met Najran in a London karaoke bar. The venue's manager said he had been "aggressively" performing Eminem songs. According to prosecutor Jonathan Laidlaw, Najran, a law student and aspiring singer, fell for Duncan.
"One of the tragic features of this case is the terrible misjudgment she made of him," Laidlaw told the Old Bailey criminal court.
Duncan later took Najran back to his place in Hackney, east London, where he beat her to death while intoxicated on drugs and alcohol.
Local police now want to interrogate Duncan on the murder of Margaret Muller, an artist from Virginia who was stabbed and killed while jogging in a London park in February 2003.
