Ice-cream killer gets life
アイスクリーム店店主　終身刑に

An Austrian ice-cream parlor owner has been found guilty of killing her ex-husband and a boyfriend before chopping them up with a chain saw, and burying them in concrete in her shop's basement.
前夫と交際相手の遺体をチェーンソーでバラバラに切り刻み、店の地下室に遺棄した罪でオーストリアのアイスクリーム店の店主に有罪の判決が下った。

Summary

 A Vienna court convicted the 34-year-old woman of murder Nov.22nd. She may be a mental illness so the court ordered her to be held in psychiatric care.
 The woman, identified only as Estibaliz C., confessed to the murders Nov.19th, but her lawyer said she will appeal.
 She shot the men in 2008 and 2010, putting their body parts in a freezer before burying them in her cellar. She had told the court that her ex-husband failed to leave her alone and the boyfriend cheated on her.

Reflection

 I was regret that I was charmed by the word "ice-cream" and chose this article.  This case of murder was very grotesque so I was very badly during reading it. I think people who commit murder like this case are never forgiven if there are any reasons.
