Macabre slaying in Glass Building

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1345322/Journalist-beaten-death-castrated-luxury-New-York-hotel-room.html
 The mangled body of homosexual celebrity TV journalist Carlos Castra is discovered by hotel workers in a room where the celebrity had been living at InterContinental Hotel in New York's Times Square.
 Carlos boyfriend was a fashion model and so the fashion world is involved it may seem.
 The hotel is a monolithic satin glass structure stretching skyward with precision luxury male homosexual aura interior design. http://www.intercontinental.com/intercontinental/en/gb/locations/NYCHC?sicreative=5749398011&dp=true&sicontent=0&sitrackingid=126584622&cm_mmc=Google-PS-IC_AUNZ-_-G%20B-AmericasEast-_-NY-New%2BYork-City-NYCHC-_-intercontinental%20times%20square&siclientid=1959
 A virtual glance at the rooms reveals medically white sheets, pert upholstery and very sealed in luxury. Colour pallet in the brown range currently popular in hotels worldwide. With here and there an ominous blood red chair or some such. Bathrooms shiny, chrome and buffed marble. Snowy white towels folded and draped accessibly.  That this hermetically contained, somewhat surgical environment could be the scene for such chilling brutality unimaginable outside horror movie genre, is somehow a reflection of the Gothic tinge to the metro Post Modernistic landscape.
