97. Belt Selfie: Why donβt people kill their friends?
A woman has been strangled by a belt. A selfie posted online helps police investigate. How does the divide between teensβ online and offline lives affect their mental health?
In 2015 a woman in Saskatoon was strangled by a belt. Did her friend do it?
She has been strangled by a belt that lies next to her body - the same belt her best friend was wearing in a photograph of the two of them that was posted on Facebook earlier that evening. What can really be learned by what we choose to post online? And what might cause a friendship to take a violent turn?
On this episode of Bad People, Dr Julia Shaw and Sofie Hagen explore the psychology of βbreaking upβ with friends, the role of social media for teensβ mental health, and why people so rarely murder their friends.
