I first heard about Eugene Watts in the Pink Floyd song "Careful with tha axe, Eugene"...I was curious why a song would be named that. Later, a couple of searches on the net revealed the facts abiut Coral Eugene Watts, the serial killer who murdered several women brutally in his early life.

[edit] Carl

His original name was Carl, but he changed it to Coral to honor the Southern pronunciation of his name.

How could this Pink Floyd song be linked to Coral Watts when the song was written before 1969? It was not until the late 70's did authority's find out he was the "Sunday Morning Slasher?"

[edit] Early Release

The Cold Case Files episode says that the reason for Watts potential early release was due to him finding a loophole in the plea bargin regarding the bathtub of water being a lethal weapon. The programme said that once the "with intent to commit murder" part of the plea was quashed, only the burglary remained and that was why he was eligible for early release.

This is not dealt with on the wikipedia page. Would the page's creator like to comment before I look into this futher and possibly make ammendments ? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tycobbuk (talk • contribs) 08:18, 4 December 2006 (UTC).
