The California man accused of butchering his wife after her torso was found in a dumpster told friends earlier this year he couldn’t stand seeing chopped-up corpses in horror movies, describing the violence as “difficult” for him to enjoy.
Samuel Haskell IV, 35, who was arrested earlier this month on suspicion of murdering his wife and parents, sent his former personal trainer a message on Instagram discussing “The Forever Purge,” a movie Haskell described as too difficult for him to eat, according to obtained Instagram messages TMZ.
“Forever purge is an idiot who is a little different really gets chopped up in Mexico it’s actually hard for me to enjoy a movie about it, I’m disappointed with the anarchy purge 2,” Haskell wrote his former personal trainer Troy Piedade.
Piedade, who keeps in touch with Haskell via Instagram, described him as troubled — but told the outlet he never thought he would commit murder.

Haskell, the son of a powerful Hollywood executive, has been accused of cutting his wife, Mei Haskell, in their home. He allegedly then hired day laborers to dispose of three trash bags full of evidence, which prosecutors said weighed about 50 pounds each.
The workers returned the bag and their $500 payment after they opened it and saw the gray contents – not believing his claim that it was full of rocks.
The Haskells were arrested after the woman’s dismembered body parts were found in a dumpster at a shopping center about five miles from their home.
He is accused of killing his wife, 37, as well as his parents, mother Yanxiang Wang, 64, and father Gaoshan Li, 72, who have gone missing.
Police are still searching for the bodies of Wang and Li, although Haskell has been charged with their murders.

Deputy District Attorney Beth Silverman said there was evidence he had butchered them in their home, adding, “I don’t need a body to charge with murder.”
Friends had described Haskell as “paranoid” before his arrest and said he had pulled a machete on a childhood friend, while those close to May described Haskell as “weird” and having the same “creepy vibe” as Jeffrey Dahmer.
Haskell has pleaded not guilty to three counts of special circumstances murder and is being held without bail.

Meanwhile, his three sons and Mei are in the care of his married parents.
Her Hollywood executive father has yet to comment on the case.
