Man Murders 5 Year Old Step Daughter Because She Asked For Food
Some people in this world are really pure evil.
A man who stabbed his 5 year old step daughter to death because she was hungry has been given life in prison and honestly, he probably deserves worse.
A Michigan man who fatally stabbed his stepdaughter and then set her body on fire was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Thomas McClellan was found guilty last month of first-degree murder, first-degree child abuse and first-degree arson for the November 2016 death of 5-year-old Luna Younger.
On Wednesday, a judge sentenced the 25-year-old man to serve 18 and 30 years on the arson and child abuse convictions. The murder conviction requires a mandatory life sentence, the Detroit Free Press reports.
The three sentences will be served concurrently.
During a taped confession that played during the trial, McClellan told a detective that he killed Luna because she woke him up from his nap to ask for something to eat. He said when he tried to get the child to leave she sat on the floor of the bedroom and wouldn't move.
"It tipped me over the edge," he said. "She gave me more attitude."
McClellan then said he pulled the kindergartner to the floor, sat on her hips and repeatedly stabbed her in the chest.
Prosecutors said McClellan covered the girl's body with blankets, poured vodka on them and set the blankets on fire, Fox 2 reports. -(NY Daily News)
