Philly Teen Brutally Murders Mother After She Takes Away His PlayStation

A Philly teen hammered his mother to death with a clam hammer because she took away his Play Station. After he was accused of stealing a laptop from school, his mother decided to punish him by taking away his Play Station console. Days later the Philly teen murdered his mother and attempted to “cremate” her corpse.

According to his confession, 16-year-old Kendall Anderson paced the floors for three hours while his mother slept before deciding to murder her:

“I couldn’t stand the arguing,” the teen said in a statement read by Philadelphia police homicide Detective Thorsten Lucke during a preliminary hearing.

So he struck his mother with a claw hammer 20 times before attempting to “cremate” her in the oven.

When that failed, the 11th grader at Daniel Boone School in North Philadelphia repeatedly smashed her head with a chair leg before dragging her bloodied corpse in to the alley, where it remained undetected until family members became suspicious.

In December, Philadelphia Municipal Court Judge Karen Yvette Simmons ordered the youth to stand trial for murder, possession of an instrument of crime and abuse of corpse.

“If I could, I would not do it again,” he said in his confession. “I really miss my mom. … She was the only person who cared for me.”

Not only is he going to jail, but he also has to deal with the fact he murdered his mother. Let’s keep him in our prayers.
