A man has been arrested for killing his girlfriend and putting another girl into a coma after their kinbaku shibari threesome went tragically wrong.
The incident began one night in Rome, where a 42-year-old engineer, his 24-year-old girlfriend and another 23-year-old girl met up for a night of sadomasochistic entertainment.
The trio had spent the night drinking and smoking hashish at a local club, and decided to retire to the basement garage of a building known to one of the girls for a BDSM session .
In the garage, the man proceeded to tie the two (still clothed) women together using Japanese style “shibari” (also known as “kinbaku”) ties, and then tied himself to them.
At this point he apparently lost consciousness, falling over and pulling the ropes taut about the necks of the girls, causing the 24-year-old to asphyxiate in her bonds, and severely injuring the 23-year-old.
The man eventually cut her loose (authorities have noted he did not have a knife immediately to hand) and called for help, but she was by this time dead. The other woman was hospitalised and remains in a coma.
Police investigating the matter initially moved to charge the man with murder, but after being satisfied that the encounter was wholly consensual instead opted to charge him with involuntary manslaughter. He has been ordered to remain under house arrest.
Initial reports suggested the man was an experienced BDSM practitioner acquainted with the necessary safety measures for performing such acts – although whatever knowledge he did possess apparently did not extend to refraining from engaging in the practice whilst all three participants were drunk.
However, he later recanted and claimed he “was not an expert” and that this was the first time he had ever tied a subject’s neck.
He has expressed his profound regret at the woman’s death, and accepted he made a grave error in not being prepared to cut the girls down immediately.
There are also conflicting reports as to whether intentional suspension or breath play was involved – both practices would certainly place what transpired in the garage at the extreme end of the BDSM riskiness spectrum.
The parents of the dead girl do not appear to be taking their daughter’s accidental death in a perverted sadomasochistic sex act well – their lawyers insist she was murdered in an organised conspiracy by an evil deviant, whose self-serving account of events is being sympathetically lapped up by the media.
Being part of bondage is dumb on its own. For most of history girls have been forced into it. Nowadays idiots have life so unfairly easy that they volunteer for hardships and needless risks. This guy is getting off easily for his crimes. Poor parents are often in denial when their offspring to stuff like this. As long as weak people do retarded sadist crap to fill some childish power craving false ego boosting “need” or desire then these deaths and injuries will happen. Also as long as people are in denial about how much alcohol they can consume and function well with, they will cause unnecessary harm through stupid “mistakes” that they would supposedly not have done without an aberrant, excessive level of intoxication.
That’s tragic.
And he should have gotten advice from Garterbelt.
wow!!
bdsm is a sexy and awesome thing.. very sad when accident RAREly happen…
but sometimes that is the problem with horny novices as well
indulging in the extreme. It is important to educate one self with videos or books or in the meantime visit a pro.
You get the teaching that you seek, and you will grow. Ive been to public play partners but I really prefer one on one mentoring and training from an educated but really open dominatrix.
This is a really unfortunate bit of news
There are eight million ways to die in the Naked City. Try not to embarress yourself or you family when pick one.
I don’t see any charge here even for involuntary manslaughter. The sex play was consensual, both the man AND THE WOMEN has been drinking and smoking….. no, just a case of “Too bad, so sad, life just didn’t like you!” in the case of the woman who died.
I’m sure that this man feels extremely guilty about what happened and that is all the punishment he needs, in my opinion.
The male was the one with most responsibility as a so-called “master” of the females. His actions led to a death and near death. His punishment should be harsh. Besides, how can you or anyone ever be “sure” that someone feels extremely guilty when you have not met them and in fact are not them? Are you the first actual psychic? Your opinion is not logical and hence not valid. It is likely that the majority that agree with a light punishment are simply those of you that know you could be in position like this possibly because you make foolish choices like drink and drive or drink and smoke and bdsm. However, not murdering is superior to any pleasure seeking activity. Stable adult minds don’t do bdsm “games” anyway. Enjoy sex not sex-like substitutes for an ego boost.
