Death and the maiden

Quote of the day: Alan Cochrane in The Daily Telegraph (here):
The Tory leader literally slaughtered Mr McConnell over the fact that too many OAPs are paying for services that his administration had promised would be free.

Well now, did she really? Was it a bloody affair? Or does 'literally' not mean what I think it means? Or are modern commentators just bloody poor writers?
