George Sodini is accused of killing three women & himself at a US gym; had written a blog about his gruesome plan for the 'big day'

A sexually frustrated man who killed three women in a Pennsylvania health club, then himself, blogged his preparations with the final chilling entry announcing the "big day", police said yesterday.

The killer, who burst into the LA Fitness Gym in Bridgeville, near Pittsburgh,u00a0 late on Tuesday night and sprayed 36 bullets, apparently wrote the blog on a personal web page starting last November.

Smiling Assassin: This image obtained from www.georgesodini.com shows George Sodini, who killed three women in a gym.

On the eve of the killings, he wrote: "Took off today, Monday, and tomorrow to practice my routine and make sure it is well polished.... Tomorrow is the big day." The blog was quickly pulled off the Internet.

Local police superintendent Charles Moffatt said the killer, named George Sodini, prepared meticulously.

After twice visiting the gym earlier in the day, Sodini entered the Latin dance class, turned off the lights and opened fire.

Chilling Entries

Last entry, August 3: I took off today, Monday, and tomorrow to practice my routine and make sure it is well polished. I need to work out every detail, there is only one shot.

Also I need to be completely immersed into something before I can be successful. Tomorrow is the big day... Death lives!

Earlier: Who knows why. I am not ugly or too weird. No sex since July 1990 either (I was 29). Last time I slept all night with a girlfriend it was 1982. Proof I am a total malfunction.

Girls and women don't even give me a second look ANYWHERE. There is something BLATANTLY wrong with me.
