You couldn't make it up dept. no.109: obviously made for each other

[fpb]

Luca Zambelli, 41, was given eighteen years by an Italian court - one for each knife wound he inflicted on his first wife in the process of killing her. Francesca Brandoli, 38, got life formurdering her estranged first husband and (during the same assault) murderously attacking his girlfriend. They met in jail, fell in love, and have now married.

This reminds me of an epigram I wrote in imitation of one of my favorite Roman writers, Martial:

Casey ended Caylee's life
OJ Simpson killed his wife.
Despite the fact that people squawked,
The juries bungled and they walked.
I think for them the perfect fate
Is to meet up, shack up and mate.
And those who watch them being matched
May bet on who'll be first dispatched.

It does have that Martial touch.

I figured what with you being Italian, you'd appreciate it. Most of my friends thought I was being a bit ghoulish.
