Medford (MA) – A murder suspect’s Google searches could implicate him in the killings of his wife and 9-month-old daughter. Neil Entwistle claimed he found his family dead after he returned from a shopping trip, but police detectives have a different story to tell. They’ve combed through Entwistle’s laptop and found incriminating Google searches just a few days before the deaths.

Four days before the January 20th 2006 murders, Medford Police Detective Lawrence James says Entwistle searched for “how to kill with a knife” on Google. The search took him to G4TV.com of all places and the page showed a diagram of the human body and instructed people to aim for the heart and rib cage. While this may sound like pretty damning evidence, Entwistle’s wife and daughter were shot instead of stabbed.

James also testified that Entwistle searched for local escort services and had an active account on AdultFriendFinder.com.

I think he was looking out for 'The Perfect Murder'. No wonder he got caught. What will be next ? Google up on how to do "this & that" before getting caught ?

BTW, why don't they ban such sites which shows How to kill people ?
:confused:

^^ On what basis? pirate bay's been sued so many times n yet it surfaces unscathed every time. This site cant be sued just because it showed how to kill. they may get away from charges that it was meant for self defence OR stuff like that.

Are u meaning the site from which he got the info(the site which he got after googling) should be banned?Well,then it sounds OK.
If u meant to say that google should be banned,it'd be rather ridiculous dont u think?

Google is like a pen, with a pen you can write something that inspires people leading them to a good life or you can write something that mislead people & even creating a war where many people die. so is pen banned ? no that's same with google , you can do everything , its just your thoughts that matter.
