17 Disturbing Photos With Horrifying Backstories

9. Capturing One's Own Killer...On Film

Dagsa

Picture celebrating New Year's Eve with your family, ringing in the turn of the calendar with those you hold most dear, and gathering your loved ones together for a photograph to commemorate the occasion. We've all done this, I'm sure. But what no one reading this has done is have their assassin step into the frame of that picture a split second before squeezing the trigger that would end their life.

That's what happened to Philippine councillor Reynaldo Dagsa, who had recently helped get the shooter in the photo jailed for car theft. His accomplice can also be seen in the top right of the photo, just behind Dagsa's wife, daughter and mother-in-law.

If there's any positive to be taken from this it's that the councillor's camera work led to an easy arrest of his assassin, who was sent away for a lot more than car theft this time.
