Sid Vicious, bassist of the punk band Sex Pistols, was arrested and charged with second-degree murder for the death of his girlfriend Nancy Spungen in 1978. Spungen was found stabbed to death in their hotel bathroom. Though Sid confessed to the murder, theories suggest that their drug dealer or Spungen's ex-boyfriend may have been the real killer. Forensic evidence including Nancy's blood on Sid's hunting knife was presented, but Sid died of a heroin overdose before trial. Their tumultuous relationship and tragic deaths became iconic in punk culture.
