@nbcnewyork: A 25-year-old PhD student is dead after her own brother-in-law strangled her to death inside a Long Island home. After Victoria Castle went limp, prosecutors said Joseph Horner then sexually assaulted her before calling 911. Horner told police he had been lusting after his sister-in-law since 2017. Prosecutors say he acted Monday morning because his wife was away on a trip. #nbc4ny #longisland
This is horrifying. Victoria Castle, you did not deserve this. You are remembered as a bright, beautiful, young woman. This violence does not define your life 💛

This is so sad for the family of Victoria. Imagine her sister coming home to realize Victoria has been murdered and then has to be told and your husband did it. He wanted to rape her so he strangled her to rape her and she died from it. It says so many layers to it! Men are seriously depraved! Misogyny in this country is to blame for putrid man doing things like this! Justice for Victoria and her family! that scum should never see the light of day again! He’s a predator! His wife had no idea what kind of a animal she married!

The defense lawyer basically calling him a hero for calling the cops after he [allegedly] strangled her and [allegedly] 🍇ing her corpse is sickening.

He was happily married but 💀 and 🍇 the only other woman in his vicinity the moment his wife wasn’t there to keep him in check?! That’s the clear definition of a monster! She had a whole life ahead of her and he stole it and violated her in the worst way! Not every man, but ALWAYS a man!

so basically he created a giant fantasy in his head for 9 years, finally invited her up to help with something, probably got rejected when he tried to do something, graped and strangled her bc in his mind this was 9 years building up to this moment and she shot him down. crazy people out there.

So a male white 27yr old attacker. Women can’t even trust their male relatives. This is horrific.
