janetDAYZ Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 A 16-year-old Virginia boy said he beat and stabbed his parents to death because he was sick of routine punishments “like my dad taking away my iPod and stuff,” authorities said. Vincent Parker told investigators that he killed his 57-year-old mother, Carol, and 55-year-old father, Wayne, inside the family’s Norfolk home on Dec. 19, 2013, according to his confession revealed in court on Wednesday. The teen, an only child, pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree murder. “I just remember getting mad,” he told police, according to WTKR-TV. “It’s all from my dad. All this stuff like my dad taking away my iPod and stuff.” The teen, an honor roll student at Norview High School, said he first attacked his mother as she stepped out of a bathroom inside the Bland St. home. He doused the woman with pepper spray before stabbing her in the eye, and beating her with a baseball bat and a crowbar — striking her at least 25 times in the neck, face and head, police said. Vincent Parker said he hit his father with a crowbar and stabbed him several times when the man came home a short time later. The bleeding father managed to call 911 and told police what happened before he died at a local hospital. His wife was dead before emergency workers arrived. Their son confessed to the vicious killings after his DNA was found on several murder weapons, which included five bloody knives, a baseball bat and a crowbar. The teen was scheduled to be sentenced on Sept. 18 His grandfather, Allen Taylor, told WTKR-TV that he still doesn’t understand why his daughter and son-in-law had to be killed. “(Vincent’s) a smart young man,” he told the news station. “I don’t know what happened.” Taylor added that he had forgiven his grandson for the murders. “Because if I don’t forgive him, who will?” he said. jkemp@nydailynews.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
