Apparently this is based on a real case where a man came home and killed his wife because she hadn't prepared a chicken dinner for him, and someone read about that and said, 'okay, but what if the exact opposite?'
Denver, May 22, (UP)--District Attorney James Burke said tonight he will file a first degree murder charge against Howard (Sonny) Potts, Denver shipping clerk who told police he beat his wife to death and buried her in their basement because, “I lost my head when dinner wasn’t ready.”
Detective captain James E. Childers said Potts, 39, formerly of Boone, Ia, signed a complete statement that he struck his wife with his fist, jumped on her body in a rage, dragged her by the hair to the basement stairway and hurled her down, when he found a promised chicken dinner hadn’t been prepared.
Potts told police that before he buried his wife he went down into the basement several times a day, “sometimes just to look at her, but generally to fix the furnace.”
This is kind of distressing (I mean, besides the senseless loss of life and all). I knew CDNP exaggerated its stories, but I figured there was at least the skeleton of the original narrative in there. This seems more like a word association game: "Okay: uxoricide, chicken, dinner, go!"
Honestly I was expecting some kind of weird, ironic, darkly horrifying EC Comics-style twist at the end, but... nope. The guy just really loves his chickens.
