boy kills sister with wrestling moves learned on tv
Vilger Louis talks about his daughter Viloude, dead after
suffered multiple injuries after her half-brother allegedly beat her.
A young teen beat his little half-sister to death using wrestling moves he’d copied from the TV, police claim.
Devalon Armstrong, 13, is accused of repeatedly slamming Viloude Louis, 5, onto a bed, punching her in the stomach, jumping on her back and elbow-dropping into her kidneys.
She suffered broken ribs, internal bleeding and liver lacerations from the brutal bashing at their Terrytown, Louisiana, home.
Cops say Armstrong was babysitting his younger sibling on Sunday afternoon when he decided to test out some moves he’d seen on World Wrestling Entertainment.
Later complaining of having a stomach ache, she went upstairs to brush her teeth — before being found by her brother 30 minutes later in crippling pain on the bathroom floor.
Realizing she was no longer breathing, Armstrong took her downstairs to the sofa and dialed 911.
Paramedics arrived on the scene but found her unresponsive. She was pronounced dead soon after.
As there were no outward signs of injury, Louis’s death was at first deemed “unclassified.”
But a coroner’s report released on Tuesday found she had died of multiple injuries.
Armstrong, who reportedly confessed to carrying out the moves, was arrested later that day on suspicion of second-degree murder.
He is currently being held at a juvenile detention center, reports The Times-Picayune.
Psychiatrists will now evaluate whether Armstrong is mentally able to participate in his own defense. A hearing is scheduled for next month.http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/boy-13-allegedly-kills-half-sister-5-moves-learned-tv-wrestling-article-1.1376818
