This might be a bit late, but for future reference learn to keep the situation in your head till you get a better perspective on it, and come to terms with it. I know it sounds crazy, but, putting it off isn't the answer. The brain has a tendency to keep reviving thoughts that sprout deep emotions, so you'll really just start an inner war with your mind by trying to avoid thinking about it.
As for the whole 'having a better perspective on it, and coming to terms with it' I noticed what works best for me is trying to better understand it. I find another layer to the problem that is not so emotionally averse and analyze it from there. In this case I would probably apply surrogate points to the story and see how it could've been prevented, stopped or how the justice system could've handled it appropriately. What this also does is create other versions of the story that are less emotional and easy to reach.
I hope this helps mate, your OCD-self diagnosed friend Senshi learned to fight intrusive thoughts this way.
