Police have one important lead in the gruesome stabbing deaths of students Laurent Bonomo and Gabriel Ferez last week. Apparently, a pair of Sony PSPs are mising from the apartment and presumed stolen by the perpetrators. London police said that the serial number of one of the missing PSP devices is SO1-0613169-C.

If you live in the UK and you recently purchased a used PSP, you can help solve this crime. Check your serial number (located on a sticker inside the battery compartment) to see if it matches the one taken from the victims’ apartment. If you find a match, be sure to contact police in the London metropolitan area immediately.

We know this is a bit macabre for a news item, but it would be nice to see the power of the internets and video game consoles used to bring justice, instead of being the usual target of negative media hype.
