Philadelphia Man Kills Baby Over Video Game

This story is really astonishingly sad.

In Philadelphia, a 25 year old man named Tyrone Spellman — who curiously goes by the name Anwar Salahuddin — punched his 17 month old daughter to death when she knocked over his console, causing him to disrupt the game.

According to the mother: "His confession was she pulled the cords in the game, the system is -- the box itself -- fell, and he was upset and then responsible for paying for the game, so he hit her in her face twice," Turman said, adding that Spellman also allegedly slung the child over a chair.

Spellman is being charged with murder, endangering the welfare of a child and possessing an instrument of crime. No word if they mean his fist, the chair or the Xbox on that last charge.

As a last note of surreality, a note was apparently left on Spellman's door, saying not to judge him because he'd never hurt a child.

I beleve it was the console.

Thats awfull :( That guy is definatly out of his head to kill his daughter over a video game :(.

Ahhhhhhhhh! Things like this just enrage me! He doesn't deserve to live! :mad:

What a b**tard, i would rather anything got broken than to hurt a child.

lets hope that mofo gets life

wtf he must die :mad:

Issues. Pathetic people do pathetic things. Violence and murder is a common thing is households these days. Its just what this sick and discusting world has come to. I cant say he doesnt deserve to live, its not my place to judge people nomatter how horrid they are and how much I think they shouldn't live. Its not our place, or anyone others then God.

I had heard about this and got disgusted once shown on the news

When the other prisoners find out what he did, they'll probably kill him.

I hope Skye, I hope.

OMG wtf thats an houer from where i live. They chold take this guy and feed him to the lions. That is one sick person. My kid can break all my 20 some counsils and i will still not harm one hair from his body.

Go get him then Acidburn. ;)

fry his ass

Im sure him living in phili it wont be long.

LOL! :) That make sme feel better inside...strangely...

I know he will get his.

yeah thats not far from where i live . i read this in one of the philadelphia newspapers.

Shit,
I live in North Carolina...
I'll drive up there to puch his a$$ in the face.
Thats insane, to do that to a child....
Send him to a gay part of a prison to spend the rest of his life having fun...
That would be partial justice...
