A 16-year-old American boy has reportedly confessed to killing his mother because she took away his Playstation game.
Kendall Anderson attacked his mother Rashida with a claw hammer while she slept, bludgeoning her 20 times, police said.
When the hammer attack didn’t kill her, the South Philadelphia teenager dragged the 37-year-old downstairs and tried to “cremate her” in the kitchen oven, according to a court report in the Philadelphia Inquirer.
When that failed, he grabbed a chair leg and beat her around the head, before dumping her body in an alley behind the house, it is claimed.
Kendall appeared in court where the alleged confession was read.
He has been ordered to stand trial for murder, possession of an instrument of crime and abuse of a corpse. Detective Thorsten Lucke, who read out the confession in court, said Anderson had expressed remorse for the crime and told him: “If I could, I would not do it again. I really miss my mom . . . she was the only person who cared for me.” – Daily Mail.
