[snip] It turns out that over-regulating eBay is not going to rid us of all the creeps and weirdos trolling the Interwebs. At least, not in Russia [1]: A serial killer obsessed with electricity murdered at least five people in a series of lurid experiments to test his home-made electric chair, Russian police said on Friday. The 30-year-old electrician, identified only as Dmitry K, lured victims to his house by posting adverts for computer equipment on the internet. Police in Yekaterinburg, a city in Russia's Urals region, tracked the suspect down after finding the charred body of a law student in a roadside ditch. [...] According to police, the suspect also claimed to have designed a doormat that would electrocute anyone who stood on it, but had yet to test it. He also asked detectives to return a camera he had invented which used an electro-magnetic ray to erase the memory of anyone he photographed with it. That is one pretty smart electrician, I must say. And you say "cyberwarfare"! With tools like this, Russians are unbeatable...
