A British man, who was so obsessedwith the US rapper Eminem that he dressed like him, had the same tattoos and used to perform the same dance routines, was jailed for life on Monday for battering a woman to death.Christopher Duncan, 21, forced his victim to undergo atorrid sexual ordeal before he beat her with a metal baseball bat and, although she was still alive, he crammed her into a suitcase where she died 90 minutes later.On the night of the murder, Duncan had met his victim in aLondon karaoke bar where the manager said he had been “aggressively” performing songs by Eminem, notorious for his violent and misogynistic lyrics.“You treat women as sexual objects and have a sadisticsexual fantasy life,” Judge David Paget said as he ordered that Duncan should serve a minimum term of 25 years.“It may well be you pose such a danger to women it will never be safe to release you,” the judge added.Prosecutor Jonathan Laidlaw said Duncan had previously beaten up Jagdip Najran, a law student, in the same fashion.The court was told there was no explanation for Duncan’s violent attacks. —Reuters
