**The Wikipedia Killer** 
 
 `` I need you to understand something before I kill you.'' Said the wildly antagonistic axe-murderer, the darling of the 5 o'clock news, the scourge of every child's nightmares and the main reason why 63 percent of the local population polled said, `` Things ai n't what they's used ta' be.'' 
 
 The man glanced at the hatchet blade, a big fat sharp-looking piece that shined in the kitchen lights. He ran his fingers along the handle, speaking to the victim, a woman old enough to be alone but young enough to regret being alone at this moment, as much as to the hand-axe itself. `` Rosalind Franklin was a British biophysicist and X-ray crystallographer who made critical contributions to the understanding of the fine molecular structures of DNA ( deoxyribonucleic acid ), RNA, viruses, coal, and graphite. Her DNA work achieved the most fame because DNA plays an essential role in cell metabolism and genetics, and the discovery of its structure helped her co-workers understand how genetic information is passed from parents to their offspring.'' 
 
 Utterly confused yet terrified, the woman backed into a corner. The man swung his hatchet at the woman and struck bone. Crunch! The woman screamed bloody murder. `` Franklin is best known for her work on the X-ray diffraction images of DNA which led to the discovery of the DNA double helix.'' 
 
 `` What the fuck! Somebody help me! Oh my God!'' The woman screamed again, clutching her arm as blood squirted out of a severed artery. 
 
 The man swung again with more force. This time, he split a big gash down her stomach, and more blood sprayed outward, staining the man's t-shirt and jeans. 
 
 `` According to Francis Crick, her data was key to determining the structure to formulate Crick and Watson's 1953 model regarding the structure of DNA. Franklin's images of X-ray diffraction confirming the helical structure of DNA were shown to Watson without her approval or knowledge. This image provided valuable insight into the DNA structure, but Franklin's contributions to the discovery of the double helix are often overlooked.'' 
 
 By now, the woman had slumped over dead. A pool of dark red blood collected around the axe-murderer's boots, staining the kitchen tile and making the scene of the crime all too silent. 
 
 The man shrugged his shoulders, dropped the hatchet, and walked out the back door ( from which he entered ). As he left, he remarked to himself, `` Unpublished drafts of her papers ( written just as she was arranging to leave King's College London ) show that she had independently determined the overall B-form of the DNA helix......''
