How could one person take on two other people and tie them up?
depends how fucking hard/crazed they were.
we don't know they were both in at the same time and overpowered or if they came home seperately and someone was waiting.
or if they used chloroform or something.
i just hope the police sort this one out asap. it's nasty.

i was thinking drugs, burglary gone badly wrong or just proper psycho's???
This story is very nasty.
Those poor men.
I was thinking the same as you but then I found the comment made by one of their girlfriends which seems to suggest that something may have been going on.

Yeah why not take half the sentence out of context.
I did use the well known term 'surely' as in, man this can't be true! Surely.
How could a handful of children take on a whole train full of adults and rob them?

I didn't. I addressed exactly the point your post made.
No, you didn't.
Original post said:
If you meant to you need to address your use of syntax and punctuation and consider the use of exclamation marks and / or
smilies.The level/type of violence would be extremely unusual for either of those explanations.

To be honest, I think that's more because her English is very ropey....

Yeah. Soon as I heard they were brilliant minds, were only there for a short research stint and had a stolen laptop I thought it might have been an industrial espionage job but that falls down on the same count.

You'd think so, as how anyone could do that sober or without major mental health issues is clearly in need of putting down...
Someone at their hometown university - one of their professors, I think - expressed the opinion that the level of violence used was intended to send a message to someone. All very vague I know, but the shocking nature of the crime lends itself to all kinds of frenzied speculation. Maybe it's just as it appears - a simple robbery gone wrong. They were, after all, the victims of burglary just a week before. Maybe the robbers returned, found them home unexpectedly, they resisted, and everything went downhill from there.
It's pointless to speculate but the not knowing is maddening. It just seems to defy all logical explanation.
Very rarely came across that in real-life (or, to be rather more accurate, real-death). Alcohol-induced violence, yes. Drig-induced violence, far, far less commonly.
As I said, the level and type of violence is not associated with that explanation. Anything is possible but it would be a very unusual incident if it were.

Maybe....
Maybe it's a translation....even so it struck me as a strange thing to say, a strange translation even...
So not a robbery. Not a gangland attack. A serial killer then?
That it's a "very unusual incident" is the one thing we can be sure of.
What kind of incidents, in your experience, leave 250 stab wounds in two bodies?
As I said earlier:
Whatever it turns out to be, it will be a very unusual example of it. Many / most murders pretty much tell you from the outset what has happened and / or why. I think this is one of the relatively few which does not seem to fit any common "type" (unless, as may well be the case, there are significant pieces of information which we do not know in the public domain). The profilers will no doubt be having a field day trying to work it out!

I must say it was my first thought...in fact my actual thought was "She's put what she wants to say through a ropey online translator"

Very strange case ...
Thank goodness for you, Detective Boy, without you I could never have come to such an incisive conclusion.

Eh? You can't really compare those 2 cases.
5 people 'steaming' a train load of people has nothing to do with this.

Well, I think you can, Maggot. I think the point being made is threat and fear.....
Mrs Magpie
On a bit of break...
Maybe both victims weren't there to begin with ...maybe he was lying in wait having nicked keys from previous burglary and the victims didn't arrive together...maybe he had a gun...maybe he got one victim to tie up the other....threats & fear

I've met a few people capable of doing that easily. Usually ex-special forces.
Precisely.
You are taking a totally simplistic and naive view of the situation. There are several possible scenarios which could explain how one person achieved this (not least of which is stabbing one, incapacitating them, and then taking on the other).
