I have no words.

BBC article says:

Detectives said there was nothing to suggest the attack was a homophobic crime, but refused to rule it out.

Det Insp John Hogg, of Strathclyde Police, said: "We are still working towards identifying a motive for this murder. I am aware of all the speculation in the media regarding Mr Walker and his death.

"At this time we have nothing to indicate that this is a homophobic crime. Until we know the exact circumstances surrounding this murder, we will not rule anything out and will keep an open mind on any possible motive for his terrible crime.

I honestly can't think of a more horrible way to die.

^ Being bitten to death by ants?

Having your flesh slowly stripped off, layer by agonizing layer?

Being slowly dipped into acid?

Dude, being roasted alive is PAINFUL AS HELL.

^ And so are the things I listed (at least I'd assume they are)

I read an article about ways to die in a (pseudo)scientific magazine once. The worst one seemed to be dying of thirst. The less painful surprisingly seemed to be bleeding to death

^Bleeding's less painful because you lose the ability to feel gradually throughout the process.

Burning actually could be worse. After a bit, your nerve endings would be destroyed.

Still horrible, though.
