Reigning Mr Scotland bodybuilding champ Michael O'Hanlon stabbed to death on an industrial estate.

 

 

So the man arrested is either:

 

1 - The bloke who finished second in Mr Scotland

 

2 - A steroid dealer owed several thousand pounds

 

or do our readers know different?

July was horrible months for deaths. I can only remember Provenzano, Michael Cimino, Marni Nixon and maybe Wiesel. Something big is probably coming and last time I complained like a bitch about lack of deaths Muhammad Ali died instantly.
