Okay, hier noch etwas:
"Blackwell had a spun a Walter Mitty-style fantasy in which he claimed to be a tennis player about to hit the big time with a £70,000 sponsorship deal and a place in the French Open. In order to finance his imaginary career, Blackwell had applied for 13 credit cards using false information. He had also tried to take out a number of personal loans and used his father's documents to obtain credit.
Yet there was little in the family's early background to foreshadow such horror.
His mother had moved to Merseyside after the collapse of her first marriage and it was here in 1982 that she met Sydney Blackwell, a retail executive. At the age of 43 she became pregnant after years of trying and was devoted to little Brian, but, according to neighbours, both parents were excessively protective.
Brian Blackwell grew up a quiet, bookish boy with a passion for science, who, his parents insisted, was destined to be "not just a doctor - but a surgeon". He attended Scarisbrick Hall, a private school set in the Lancashire countryside, but was moved in 1998 to Liverpool College in Aigburth, a private school costing £7,300 per year.
During his final year, he began dating Amal Saba, the 18-year-old daughter of a respected medical family, and both applied to read medicine at Nottingham University. It is believed his story of being a professional tennis player was concocted in early 2004. In March of that year, he visited a Mercedes showroom to test-drive a £60,000 sports car.
The following month he wrote Ms Saba a cheque for £39,000 to act as his manager, despite having only 9p in his bank account. In May he cashed in a £9,000 bond that his parents had invested to pay for his university education in order to buy her a car. He also tried to open a bank account by claiming he was a professional tennis player.
In June his mother, who was becoming increasingly concerned about her son's behaviour, contacted her local bank to warn them. Yet on 24 July, Blackwell used his father's credit cards to book flights from New York to Miami, Miami to San Francisco and San Francisco to London. The following day he once again used his father's card to book a first-class flight from Manchester to New York.
That evening he murdered both his parents. The next day Blackwell and Ms Saba flew to New York, where he spent £3,900 on a three-night stay at the Plaza hotel.
The couple eventually returned home on 12 August, and Blackwell stayed with Ms Saba's family after explaining that he was locked out of his house until his parents returned from Majorca. A week later he returned to Liverpool College, to discover he had achieved A passes in maths, chemistry, biology and Spanish A-levels. The results opened the door to study medicine at Nottingham University in October.
It was a place he would never fill. On Sunday, 5 September, the decomposed bodies of Mr and Mrs Blackwell were discovered after a neighbour called at their home and reported an unusual smell. When police broke down the door there was so much blood on the walls that at first they suspected the couple had been shot.
A few hours later Blackwell was arrested at Ms Saba's parents' home, where police discovered the rubber grip of the hammer and the handle of the knife in his sports bag.
In the village of Melling, where Blackwell had grown up, neighbours expressed shock at the macabre murder, but painted a picture of a young boy who had a strict upbringing and had huge expectations heaped on his shoulders.
Tommy Sheldon, 75, a retired Royal Navy seaman, said: "They were a nice family, very private. Brian was very clever, he would play tennis at the local club and study hard. His mother was inclined to be strict with him."
Das ist Narzissmus mit "Brusthaaren" ...
