Newlyweds kill man for ‘thrill’

A newlywed couple in Pennsylvania killed a man whom the wife had lured to a rendezvous through an online dating advertisement, strangling him and stabbing him repeatedly, police said.

The pair, named as Elytte and Miranda Barbour, “just wanted to murder someone together”, Sunbury Police Corporal Brad Hare told Reuters.

Elytte Barbour, 22, hid under a blanket in the back of their car as his 18-year-old wife Miranda drove to pick up a man she met through Craigslist at a mall north of Harrisburg on November 11, the Sunbury Police Department said in a report.
