A DJ from Tampa, Florida, has been arrested on suspicion of murdering his ex-wife after she applied for half of his vinyl collection in their divorce settlement.
Peter Hanson, aka DJ Dangerous, was arrested during a dawn raid on his home this morning, after his ex-wife, Jessy Hanson’s, body was discovered in her apartment late last night.
According to Officer Rich Meadows, of the Tampa Police Department, Mrs. Hanson’s body was discovered “beaten to death with a Traktor controller” and holding an original 12” copy of Lil Louis’s French Kiss in her right hand.
Friends of the deceased are said to believe the police have arrested the right man after Mr. Hanson made a number of threats to his ex wife’s safety after the terms of their divorce settlement were released.
“Peter told Jessy that he was going to kill her and you could tell he was serious,” claimed neighbour Annie Tracks. “They were both DJs and the whole reason they split up was because they couldn’t agree about the digital versus vinyl debate. Peter is obviously an old school vinyl fanatic while Jessy was a more liberal digital enthusiast. They were always arguing about it.”
“I think Jessy was trying to rub salt in Peter’s wounds by applying for half of his vinyl collection and he didn’t take it well at all,” continued Ms. Tracks. “He has a pretty short fuse and it doesn’t take much for him to lash out at all, just last year he beat the shit out of a guy for suggesting that pressing the sync button wasn’t a bad thing as long as the track selection was alright, that’s just the type of guy he is. Jessy probably should have known better but there’s still no excuse for murder. Even if she was a laptop DJ.”
Unconfirmed reports from the Tampa PD indicate that Mr. Hanson made a full confession after arresting officers promised to return his Lil Louis record.
