Detroit metals plant worker killed with sword made on premises, police say

The Associated Press

DETROIT (AP) � A metals plant employee killed a co-worker with a sword he fashioned for himself at the factory, police said Thursday.

The 30-year-old Detroit resident was in custody after the slaying, which occurred at approximately 11:25 p.m. Wednesday, police spokesman James Tate said.

Witnesses told police the man complained he was being bullied by another employee at the factory, Peerless Metals, which makes metal powders used in brakes.

He then finished a sword that he had been working on for several days, Tate said. When he returned, he struck the 40-year-old victim with the sword in the neck area, nearly decapitating him.

The suspect fled the scene but later returned. When police arrived, he was waiting there, drinking a beer.

Witnesses told the police the suspect was interested in "fantasy board games."

Well, that is certainly one way to get ahead in the company.

They should ban swords like they did with guns.

Uhm, wait, I think I'm dreaming...

Swords don't kill people -- people kill people.
"Everything's so clear to me now: I'm the keeper of the cheese and you're the lemon merchant. Get it? And he knows it.
That's why he's gonna kill us. So we got to beat it. Yeah. Before he let's loose the marmosets on us."

What a novel and original thought...
