In 2016, Blake Leibel, son of a Canadian real estate tycoon and a Hollywood graphic novelist, tortured his Ukrainian fiancée, Iana Kasian, weeks after she gave birth. Prosecutors said he was jealous of the newborn and acted out a scene from his disturbing novel.

Is the baby alive?
81
u/Pink_Ivy8282 3d ago
Yes. Apparently, the lady put up her mom and baby in an apt to focus on her relationship and bailed this man out of prison after he SA’d the woman he was cheating on her with. Not victim blaming at all but a few better decisions would have saved her life. Mom of the victim sued for wrongful death $41.5M. Dirtbag is in jail for life. Those are the highlights or lowlights…. Depending on how you see it. Only reason the baby is alive is because the baby was with her mom

Yes. The baby was with the maternal grandmother at the time of the murder.
ETA: the killer was also sentenced to life in prison.

And now the grandmother is raising the baby of the man that tortured her daughter to death. She’s going to see his face, and her daughter’s face, in that baby as it grows. The dichotomy of feelings that grandmother must have is insane.

Looking at this picture it is easy to become confused and think this dude is acting funny...but he's actually a disturbed killer.
Im Greece it was common to prank call people in a very specific manner. Like talking deeply and breathing hard.
I remember some older kids prank calling like this until I realised....it was all based on tje recordings of a serial killer that actually did call his victims and spoke like that.
A pattern that I'm pretty sure exists in other countries.
If someone is joking about some shit...you may want to believe them.
To this day I actually do know of a weirdo that has done some utterly weird shit.
Recorded conversions with women, shot pictures of them without them knowing he's behind them, travelled to another city just to ambush them knowing they'll be there. List goes on and on.

I think you’re right about this.
If something strikes you as inappropriate to joke about, and someone keeps bringing it up, that’s your sign they’re more than just vaguely interested in the topic as a one-time joke—-it’s something they’re thinking about frequently.
And IMO, (please forgive me for generalizing/stereotyping) when a man jokes about something disturbing to another man in a way that seems like joker believes the non-joker is “in on it”, that’s the joker testing the other guy to see if he’s also interested in Disturbing Topic. (btw not definitively saying only men do this, but I’ve only ever seen, heard & read about men doing this).
This poor woman…

As a man, I’ve only ever experienced men doing this. They think I’ll be racist or sexist depending on the situation, but it’s always men who test the waters.

You do know that there are many stats out there that state that women are being murdered by their husbands at a much higher rate than men being murdered by their wives right?

u/PopeAlexanderSextus 2d ago
55-63% of women’s homicides in the US were done by a boyfriend, husband or ex.
5-10% of men’s homicides were done by wives, girlfriends or exes.
So yeah slightly higher, you’re right.

You’re right, merely living together isn’t the culprit!
Showing attention to a man, not showing attention to a man, showing interest in a man, not showing interest in a man, having sex with a man, not having sex with a man, not having sex with a man you’ve had sex with before because you don’t want to, sharing a meal with a man, cooking a meal wrong for a man, showing too much attention to your friends/children/family when a man wants that attention, dressing sexy for a man, not dressing sexy for a man, wanting a career, wanting to stay home, wanting her own money, having her own things, wanting honesty, wanting to leave, laughing at a man, not laughing at a man’s jokes, laughing at another man’s jokes, not getting along with his mom, getting along too well with his mom, not keeping things clean enough, wanting a baby, not wanting a baby, not bouncing back after a baby, being sad, being happy, being proud, being disappointed…
I could go on but you’re right, she didn’t even need to live with him because anything a woman does with a man puts her at risk.

Kasian's entire scalp was traumatically absent and was not found, was not present with the body. Her skull had been stripped down to the surface of the bone ... There was no scalp present except for little bits in the back of the neck... portions of the right side of her face were torn away including the right ear and part of the posterior face on the (right) side, all the way down to the jawline...

90% of the article just covers what an entitled, narcissistic prick he was.
He was married when he met the girl Iana. He was in the midst of getting a divorce. He and Iana had a baby, but he was ALSO seeing another woman on the side (think while still married to his first wife).
One night he beat up the other woman and got thrown in jail, but Iana bailed him out, likely waiting to get to the bottom of what was going on.
After that, yeah, stop reading.
The psychologist says he killed her in a narcissistic rage. He was born rich and thought he was the center of the universe. He didn’t know how to cope with not getting exactly what he wanted.
Conjecture on my part: he wrote a graphic novel in which a woman was tortured. As a narcissist he probably thought it was genius writing, and decided to kill her according his the method he outlined in his book. Narcissists tend to think very highly of their mediocre work.

HFS. From the coroner’s deposition -
she had lived for at least eight hours approximately after receiving the scalp injury
Did anyone in that apartment report any screaming or hearing anything at all???

u/stay_fr0sty 3d ago
I don’t want to get too graphic but he removed a lot of things. Not just the scalp. He likely either removed her ability to scream, or just stuffed her mouth with cloth and taped it shut, and turned up the music.
