The murder of Stacey Mitchell in Perth in 2006 was a shocking crime. Her 2 killers this week got what they deserved … life in jail, with a minimum 24-year non-parole period.
What was particularly interesting was the angle taken in reporting this case. The main feature was of course, that Jessica Ellen Stasinowsky, 21, and Valerie Paige Parashumti, 19, were lesbian lovers. Oooh, shock, horror!!!! Add to the the terrible violence inflicted on their victim a bit of girl-on-girl titillation to spice the story up! Yep, apparently they kissed over the body of the dead or dying Stacey after they beat her over the head with a concrete block and strangled her with a dog chain.
These 2 women are evil swine. According to the judge:
“You have each had more than a year in custody to reflect upon the evilness of your crime, yet you still lack remorse and obviously place no value on the sanctity of human life,” he said.
“There is also the added problem that you each enjoy being sexually aroused by the infliction of violence.”
But not only does killing get them horny, there’s more.
Parashumti, who drank blood as part of a vampire subculture, had very strong sadistic tendencies. Combined with a severe personality disorder, a murder like Stacey’s was “almost inevitable”, according to a psychologist giving evidence in court.
So, there you have it …. lesbian vampire killers, sounds like the name of some bad porn, but it actually happened in Perth. Seems like Perth is challenging Adelaide for the title of Australia’s weird murder capital.
