Teen, 16, arrested in S&M killing of reporter

On Monday, Jess posted an article regarding the murder of George Weber. Police found him in his apartment on Sunday, although they believe the murder took place on Friday. His killer has been placed in custody. What surprised me is that he is only 16 years old. John Katehis bound Weber with a duct tape and stabbed him 50 times. Apparently, the two met through Craiglist after "Weber purportedly posted an item last week seeking rough sex". During the stabbing, Weber fought back and injured the teen. Katehis changed his clothes and left the house after the murder. He was place in police custody after a subway conductor "reported a passenger bleeding profusely from his left hand."

This is definitely a terrifying incident. A gruesome and brutal murder, but at the same time, was it also Weber's fault? Here's a link to the article:
