( based on the basilisk's killing method in Harry Potter and The Chammber of Secret): verb: to kill someone, literally from fear followed by a heart attack, simply by staring them straight in the eyes
Even if you tried , you wouldn't be able to basilisk stare a criminal into admitting their guilt, even for a capital murder case

A basilisk is a step up from a ‘gammon’, normally an older white man who still holds views from the 1930’s. He differs from the common British gammon as he is intelligently cruel and has probably become successful off the back of his cunty racist disposition; if the gammon is pink and noisily prejudiced, the basilisk is a grey cured sausage of thinly-veiled hateful bastardness. As the gammon matures, he becomes saggier and infinitely more bigoted, resulting in the birth of mankind’s subspecies of ultimate wankers, the basilisk.

even with the best of intentions in mind, you can't basilisk stare someone into admitting their guilt, even for a capital crime; you can hope for a confession and wait for a jury to sentence them to death
