Bryan Chenhua Chang
This is 28-year-old Bryan Chenhua Chang.
Mr. Bryan Chang, like many Asians, grew up in a household that valued education. They realize that their progeny are, most likely, going to be able to support them in their old age a lot better if they have a college degree of some kind. Usually a medical degree, but a computer degree or an engineering degree will sometimes work out well too.
In this case, Bryan’s mother – 60-year-old Sherry Chu Chang – financed Brian’s stay at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh.
That was very nice of her.
So Bryan Chang had a technologically-oriented degree, he was young and his future was wide open.
Oh sure, with the economy being what it has been, it can be hard to find a job. Times are tough. Interviews are hard. There’s a lot of competition out there.
Bryan Chang had been without a job for 18 months, living off his mom.
Sherry Chu Chang was getting a bit tired of her son sponging off her. After 18 months, most parents would be. She probably nagged incessantly, kept after her son to get out and find something, make something of his life. Do something with that degree we bought you, for Christ’s sake!
The good news is, Bryan Chang doesn’t have to print up any more resumes or chase after job interviews from now on.
On the 19th of January, 2010, Bryan Chang reported that his car – a car his parents had financed – had been stolen. Four days later, on the 23rd, Sherry Chang drove to Bryan’s apartment in Los Angeles to talk about it. While she was there, she talked on her cellphone with her husband, who also lived in Los Angeles. Apparently the conversation with her husband dealt with the fact that they were both getting a bit tired of Bryan squandering their largess.
Later that afternoon, Bryan Chang and his mother were seen by Sherry’s neighbors pulling into the garage at their Solana Beach home.
Now, we can’t be entirely sure about what they talked about while they were there, but one thing’s for sure – Sherry Chang didn’t expect the conversation to be about hammers.
Sometime between Saturday afternoon and Sunday night, Bryan found a hammer. It may have been this excellent hammer to the left here, or it may have been some other kind of hammer.
In an upstairs room, Bryan Chang took that hammer to his mother, giving murder the ol’ college try.
At 2 in the morning that Monday, Bryan Chang took a cab from his mother’s house in Solana Beach to his apartment in Los Angeles. According to authorities, in order to pay for the ride, he tried to charge it on his mother’s credit card.
When Sherry Chang didn’t show up for work that morning, concerned co-workers called the authorities. It wasn’t like her to just not show up for work. They felt something had happened to her.
Which, of course, had happened. Something. A hammer. From her son.
The sheriff’s department showed up at Sherry’s home to check on her, did the usual knock and so on and eventually went inside. They might have expected her to be dead, but they probably didn’t expect the extent of her state of being dead.
She was extra dead.
According to officer reports from the scene, officers found Sherry Chang’s arm and pieces of her skull in her refrigerator. The rest of her body was located on the floor of the downstairs bathroom of her two-story home. From the evidence at the scene, it was obvious that Sherry had died from blunt force trauma to her head.
While the hammer blow to the head had been the injury which had killed her, Sherry had also endured broken ribs, numerous facial fractures and bruises all over her body – all consistent with the injuries one would receive if someone played a 60-year-old’s body like a glockenspiel.
The arm had been removed by one of two knives that had been found in the kitchen – a serrated knife that was located in the kitchen sink or a large butcher knife found in the dishwasher.
Going through the garage, authorities found a trash can that was had a “substantial amount” of blood. Sherry’s clothes – drenched in blood – were also in that trash can.
About the only good thing that officers found about her death was that the dismemberment of her body happened after she died. Which is actually kind of interesting to think that they had to make that distinction – since most people will just die after you start dismembering them. Hard to imagine someone finishing up a dismemberment, wiping off their hands and waiting for their subject to die.
Anyways, according to officers at the scene, the house looked like someone had done a very poor job of cleaning up the crime scene.
On Sherry Chang’s desk, investigators found a credit card statement listing purchases made in San Diego and Los Angeles. The Los Angeles charges – apparently charges Sherry had accused Bryan of making – had been highlighted.
Bryan Chang was arrested at his Los Angeles apartment on the 27th of January, 2010. As he was arrested, officer noticed that he appeared to have blood under his fingernails and toenails.
Of course, that blood could have any number of reasons for being there. Really.
Bryan Chang has been charged with murder. During his first court appearance, he remained expressionless and emotionless as the prosecutor, Deputy District Attorney Rachel Solov, detailed his last encounter with his mother for the judge. Citing what she called “the viciousness of the attack,” Superior Court Judge Joan Weber set Chang’s bail at $5 million.
Chang faces 26 years to life if convicted.

“But Moooooom, school is really, really HAAAAAAAAARD…”
So sick of these whiny ass little kids beating up their parents because they can’t deal with the real world. Someone needs to beat this little fucker to death. Just play Whack a Mole with his skull. Parents bend over backwards to give their kids the best they can possibly give and this is what they get in return?
I’d LOVE…simply LOVE to see one of my children EVER dare raise a hand to me. A hammer would be the least of their problems.
Too many kids are instilled with a sense of entitlement and no concept of what money or hard work are truly worth. It’s even worse now than it was when I was a kid. Everyone is so busy treating their children as the center of the world, it’s no wonder those kids grow up thinking they ARE the most important person in the world.
I do feel sorry for his parents, but they probably gave him everything he wanted when growing up and required nothing of him in return. I don’t necessarily blame them, they were doing what they thought was right and healthy like every other affluent couple with children. Who doesn’t want to help their kid succeed in life any way they can? There is a line, however. You don’t raise your children to believe they’re better than everyone else, or you dehumanize everyone else.
Any word if they scraped the blood out from under his nails to test? I’m sure they did. This kind of ingrained superiority complex can’t really be changed without some severe deprogramming, and frankly this selfish monster isn’t worth the time or money. What he did is too brutal to ever forgive. It’s not like he shot her from a distance. He hammered her to death. That’s got to be more difficult than even stabbing someone to death, which is no easy feat from what I have read. This was extremely personal. How could you hammer someone to death, get that close to them as you kill them, and not hate them before you do it?
This is the kind of situation the death penalty is for unless it turns out that he was abused over an extended period by his parents and just snapped, which seems highly unlikely in this case. How could anyone kill their mother, who paid their way through college and bought them a car and tried to encourage them to start their life? How could such a thing ever be allowed back into society?
I was given everything material I wanted when I was younger too. Gifts were my fathers substitute for stability and love. I was coddled and pampered until I was 16 but I never once thought of killing anyone if I didn’t get my ba-ba. Coddled and pampered, but not spoiled I guess. I work my ass off for what I have, and I can’t stand handouts. This isn’t something my dad taught me, it’s something I’ve always had in me. As I’ve acknowledged before, I’m no brilliant person so WTF is wrong with Bryan to make him do this?
Some people are bad from the moment sperm enters egg. We all have monsters in our genetics and sometimes they pop up even for the most law-abiding, wonderful parents. They could easily have raised him with more realistic expectations about the world, but that doesn’t mean it would take as part of his personality. It’s just possible he’s simply a monster.
Cue up that old troll, thatsmystapler, so that we can have that nature vs. nurture three day argument.
Kinda miss thatsmystapler, like I miss my appendix, wisdom teeth, etc…. Seriously he was a troll, but thatmystapler made life interesting and presented a point of view that may be held by others – who, if in America, have a right to vote,,,,,,
Can NavyCop pretend to be that’smystapler? If that’s even possible?
I think you may be right. I have some friends whose parents were financially able to give them everything and did give them everything (a mistake in my opinion). Now as adults they expect it and you should see the hissy fits if they don’t get what they want. However, it stays within the realm of bitching and moaning and life’s unfair and you’re so mean etc. There have been a couple of instances of doors being kicked and things thrown at the wall but I really don’t believe they would EVER hurt their parents. It takes a special kind of crazy for that.
I don’t know how Christine Schurrer did it. 2 harmless children. that case haunts me, and has been one of the only ones to bring to crying rivers :(
I know I have said this before, but most people seem nastier when they are being cut off from their wants rather than their needs. Maybe it’s the type of people that get their wants paid for by others – they are maybe a nastier more selfish breed of people, less capable of loving others as they reserve such for themselves.
For example, if two people were to tell me they needed $10 for food, the drug addict who has access to money would be more upset if I gave $5 than the homeless person who has no access to cash!
Thus it seems that the person with the greater need less upset, but as I write this I see more that the person who squanders wealth is less likely to care about me and may, like this POS, be angrier about not getting the full $10 because of their sense of entitlement……
Thus he never really loved Mommy, he loved what Mommy was doing for him.
Holy crap, I can’t believe that he did that to his own mother! That’s all I really kept focusing on once the article touched on the fact that he was keeping her arm and pieces of her skull in the fridge! What, did he think that the disembodied pieces would keep financing his lazy ass once he shut her mouth up permanently? Jebus, that kid’s fckd up!
And I’d also like to add that as someone who has read and posted on many stories here, this is the first time that I am voting “no”… And only because I feel like he is seriously disturbed and needs to go to a MENTAL INSTITUTION before hell. Once at the mental institution, he can definitely go to hell, too, since at least then his mental capacity or lack there of is being acknowledged!
A “Not until he’s admitted to a psych ward!” button would have worked, too…
“What, did he think that the disembodied pieces would keep financing his lazy ass once he shut her mouth up permanently? ” ROFL! Yeah, that was good. ;)
There actually are some mental institutions that seem like the waiting room for hell more than any prison. I’m all for committing this piece of feculence to an institution before hell. Sounds like extra hell, and if there’s one thing matricide deserves, it’s extra hell. Obviously if he has no respect for the life of his own mother, he has no business on the outside with the rest of us.
I understand your reasoning. For me I would rather not spend another tax payer dime on him. If he is mentally ill he can not be helped if he isn’t we have wasted time and resources on him!!
WTFFFFFF???????
Can you imagine the horror that poor woman went through? To know that the person you loved more than anyone else,the person you would do anything for including carry in your womb for nine months was KILLING you? What an awful way to die!! I can not believe someone would vote no on sending this scum to hell….
You made me freak out thinking about the murder in that light.
Holy shit.
“As he was arrested, the officer noticed that he appeared to have blood under his fingernails and toenails. ”
That is a sick motherfucker.
Put him under the prison please.
Vcbecky: “Some people are bad from the moment sperm enters egg. We all have monsters in our genetics and sometimes they pop up even for the most law-abiding, wonderful parents. They could easily have raised him with more realistic expectations about the world, but that doesn’t mean it would take as part of his personality. It’s just possible he’s simply a monster.”
No shit. I couldn’t agree more. I am also recalling a sick ex that fits this bill. Blech!!!!
wow
What a freak! Sounds like a spoiled brat who feels entitled to everything in life.
I don’t think he is mentally ill, normally when one is “sick” they have numerous signs growing up (I know I don’t KNOW if he did, or didn’t). I just think he was used to being spoiled, and didn’t get what he wanted so he “threw a fit”- just like other cases, where the kid got his halo 3 taken away (who I think he could differentiate between reality and video games just fine, I mean come on, have you played halo???? it sucks!!! lol). He probably expected a free ride, for what I dunno forever?
He needs to hire Raipher Pelligrino – so he can say he did this in his slep!
he is 28 not 21.
Thank you for the correction. I’m sure Bryan’s family appreciates it.
As does Bryan. The hammer wielding shitstain.
A hammer? Good lord thats messy.
Corrected. Thanks for pointing that out.
I think he needed a spanking at some point in his life but got a credit card instead.
Next month is the 3rd anniversary of my mother’s passing. I think of her every day. We had our issues when I was younger but we made our peace and became truly good friends for which I am thankful. It would be a li’l slice of heaven to get her back just for 5 minutes to enjoy a moment together or laugh about some crazy shit. Reading about this monster and his actions I don’t know whether to walk away in disgust, shake him and yell “What’s WITH you?” or pound his head until he bleats for mercy. I don’t know what their relationship was like but it sounds like she meant well and provided for him, maybe providing too much was her only crime. He is insane! J. Berry, the young man who killed his father, I can understand, but this?!?!
It is a shame really. There are so many households where parents treat their children like garbage and provide an environment where the kids do not stand a chance. The kids sometimes grow up thinking it is their fault, and attempt to do anything to make their parents proud, or continue to try and have a relationship with them. Do these parents often get an ugly word said to them? Probably not as often as they should, but many kids feel that even the ugliest forms of abuse are not reason enough to kill their parents. Many live and suffer at their parents’ hands without resorting to violence. Then you have this opposite end of the spectrum. The parents try and steer their child in the direction of success and happiness. They want their children to have it better than they did. Support is provided above and beyond what it should be, and what is the thanks that they receive? Multiple blows to the body resulting in death, and their precious baby spending their lives in jail. What is the world coming to?
I’m wondering why 10% of the people who voted in the poll on this guy voted “no”. Look, even if I allow for half of that 10% being people who voted no for sincere and legitimate reasons (although for the life of me, I can’t come up with even one myself), that still leaves 5% unaccounted for.
Right?
I mean, what does it take to get some people to vote yes? If anyone deserved it, it’s this clown, a unemployed loser who beat his own mother to death because he got caught using her credit card.
And then it hit me.
There’s a small contingent of our readership – about 5 percent – who are just plain assholes. They vote no because they think it’s funny, or because they think it makes them “edgy”. They vote no for the same reason they make outrageously inappropriate comments – the internet is anonymous and it feels good to do things you’d never have the balls to do in real life. They vote no because their wives and girlfriends have them pussy whipped in real life, and they feel a little bit like when they used to be a man when they click “no”. The vote no because their kids are spoiled little brats and walk all over them. They vote no because their boss is a bully and an jerk and constantly pushes them around at work. And some, well some do it just because their fucking assholes and that’s how they roll….
Again, I’m not talking about those people who have a religious or moral objection to the poll (We’ll keep reminding you that our poll is for entertainment purposes only – no persons were actually sent to hell during the making of this blog), and vote no out of conscience.
Perhaps some of that 10% are also unemployed losers who have parents that have always and will always wipe their asses for them, just like this guy. I guess if sociopaths could feel empathy at all, it would probably be for each other. Perhaps they are thinking, wait, I’m a lazy bag of shit who wants to blame my parents for everything that goes wrong, and I expect them to bail me out of all of my problems too, but I don’t deserve to go to hell, so why should this guy?
There’s a solution for people like this (and by that, I don’t mean those who are GENUINELY mentally disturbed…). It’s called ‘WHUPPING YOUR KIDS ASSES’. It works. It really, REALLY works. (I’m living proof, as I’m 30 years old and still live in mortal fear of my mother.) Won’t mind what you say? WHUP HIS ASS. Talking back and getting smart with her elders? WHUP HER ASS. Refusing to do homework, take out the trash, or simply do something RIGHT NOW because YOU’RE the parent and YOU said so??? WHUP THAT ASS!!! I’m not talking savage beatings or child endangerment or anything cruel – just plain, good ol’ fashioned spanking with your hand, or any nearby implement that won’t cause bruising or permanent damage. What it WILL cause, is you to live a long and healthy life, free from fear of your own seeds raising their voices, let alone a hammer to you.
(And I do offer seminars if anyone needs help getting started, as I’m often complimented on how very well-behaved my two kids are. I owe it all to WHUPPING THAT ASS.)
I absolutely agree with you. I don’t know about other places, but here in Canada, if you even THINK of hitting your kid, Child Services will be on your ass before your hand leaves their ass from the first strike. Ok, maybe not that fast, but seriously….parents hands are tied. Parents can not discipline their child in public in any form, including a stern talking to (because that would be considered yelling). People will literally step up and voice their disapproval or call you in. Parents are afraid to do anything in the way of disciplining their kids in fear of having them taken away or whatever. It’s ridiculous. And children know they can get away with anything because the worst they are ALLOWED to get is a ‘time out’ – one minute per year of life. Pffft, like that’s a punishment to be feared. Schools pound it into their heads to ‘call this number’ if your parents even so much as give you a birthday bump. I totally believe that most of the problems that are going on with youth today, could have been prevented if parents were allowed to instill a little fear of consequence into their kids. I’m not talking beatings or even the belt (or whatbeit), but a smack on the ass or hand never killed any child. Youth today have no respect for rules or the feelings of others and have no concern for consequences. I think we have done them more harm than good by being as passive as governed to us in raising our children. Even scarier, it’s going to get harder for our children to raise their kids and their kids are going to be worse than ours. Joy.
He is a sick man and I truly think he is living in his own hell.
His parents were both in denial. Paid to keep him off the streets.
If they had committed him, this could all have been prevented.
My condolences to his father, who must live with the shame for the rest of his life. And his mom Sherry, may she now rest in peace… you were a good mom!!!!
He knows not what he does. Until it’s too late.
Im sure there are bigger factors at work than him being a monster. We dont know how his parents treated him growing up, and we never will.
How are you sure, Mike? Any public records indicating he was abused as a kid? History of the police being called to his house, comments from teachers about strange bruises, anti-social behaviour at a young age? What are you talking about here?
Plenty of people are abused as children and they don’t resort to violence. Unless his father was raping him while his mother held him down, there’s really not a whole lot to justify or cast the light of logic on his actions.
Well, Mike, they can’t have treated him that horribly, having paid for his education, vehicle, and housing. Regardless of how they treated him, short of current physical/mental abuse to the point of driving him crazy, he had absolutly no excuse for killing his mother. If she was telling him to get a job and find his own house, then he did it purely out of selfishness
Makes you wonder who votes saying that shite like this don’t deserve hell!
Ingrate couldn’t find a better way to thank his mother for that expensive education, I suppose.
May he find his own piece of hell soon enough.
Physical abuse is not the only kind (or even the worst kind) of abuse. Verbal assault and emotional abuse are equally as bad — and I feel it’s quite dangerous not to recognize this. Brute force is not required to tyrannize and mentally damage a person.
Now, I’m not defending Bryan Chang in any way. There is absolutely no evidence to suggest that his parents were overbearing tyrants; the only clear evidence is that he slaughtered his mother in a barbaric fashion, and for that, he must be punished. HOWEVER, neither is there any evidence that he was spoiled and that his parents were particularly loving and caring, which is what many of you are presuming.
Wealthy parents can be cold, abusive, relentless and (seemingly, to the child) unloving, even while providing them with funds, worldly goods, an education, and so on and so forth. Perhaps Sherry Chang was a vicious woman who kept her son on a very tight leash, making demands that he succeed to her satisfaction in life, as she saw fit, in the career she chose for him — ridiculing and berating him if he failed.
Again, there’s no evidence for this, either. The only thing that’s concrete right now is the murder itself.
I’m simply playing Devil’s advocate here. In my personal opinion, I tend to agree it’s more likely that he’s a spoiled, greedy, sociopathic monster, but I think presuming his parents were loving and only wanted him to succeed is jumping the gun at this point.
Im not here to start nothing, or to post the dumbass racist comments i have been posting on this site for the past year. That is not the true me. I was, just like you guessed posting those dumbass comments just to get a reaction. Having said that i could sit here and type all day but to make a long story short i’ve came to the realization that it feels WAY better to get a positive reaction out of people and would like to offer my sincerest apologies to anyone my comments have offended over the past year, and to you Max The Cat I am deeply sorry for my behavior.
What do you say guys? I’m all for giving people second chances. I figure if Joker here is sincere, we’ve gained a valuable member, and if he isn’t, we’re right back where we were.
Anyways, I’m ready to accept your apology Joker and see how things go. It’s not going to hurt me if you’re just messing with us, but if you’ve honestly had a change of heart, I couldn’t be happier for you.

Well shit, man, pull up a chair and hang out. We all go through our ‘stupid’ phase. I love pushing peoples’ buttons too, like that’s news! Verbal infractions are minor league bullshit. So long as no one died, no biggie. Welcome to the bitch circle!
Hear, hear!
A probationary period seems in order, but the “crime” seemed to just be, being bored.
No probs from me. But I do agree with Jason.
I have to ask why is someone bored? I mean seriously we ave face book, myspace and what ever else is out there. Then we have just goingout for a walk. My God we live in an age where no one should be bored. I never am.
I have a daughter that I call and help with her homework every day. I go to the gym 5 times a week. I love to cook. I promote and go to punk and hardcore shows. I love my music.
My Godkid grow the hell up. Maybe you are trying to do just that and I won’t stand in yer way but get a life before you come here posting bullshit.
–Kids
I hear what yer saying but I look back to when I was a kid no better or worse but back then TV was 5 stations before cabel. We couldn’t afford an Atari but we did have the woods, friends, the creek, football and baseball. The pool in the summer. We were never bored.
I mowed lawns in the summer and shoveled walks in the winter for spending cash. Later I got a paper rout.
The human race has come a long way in personal entertainment since I was a kid. So please tell me why are kids bored today?
Mulch, I wonder how much difference in age we really have.
I lived much of my after school hours in a fort in the woods. When I was older, I was on bulletin boards, and used my bored hours to wreak havoc. I did scouts, canoed, swam, ran, hiked, performed rudimentary carpentry, Legos, traded porn magazines with other kids, had a chemistry set, got a cheap microscope, worked on a farm, helped build habitat for humanity houses, wrote short stories, played dungeons and dragons, read like they were burning books in the next room and I had to finish them all first, made up games and played video games on friends’ machines when we could not afford them. Even still, there were vast tracts of time I was bored, and wasn’t creative enough to find something that wasn’t destructive to do. I wasn’t a terrible kid, but I did some bad things. When I could, I worked for money. I mowed lawns, trimmed Christmas trees, helped neighbors clean out old buildings, killed snakes, collected rocks, sea shells, leaves, nuts, and nails/screws/nuts(I was a weird kid, but there was money to be made in collecting scrap fasteners in local factories). I can probably catalog a quarter of a million individual things I remember doing from age 2 to age 15, but there were still huge tracts of time when I was bored and did not feel like doing something positive or fun, I inspired from within myself. Even still, I feel like I had an interesting if hard at times child hood, that while there were a lot of bad guys in it, there were some good ones. I think the child experience is similar for many.
“Jason: The Salad Days.” Hehe!
I was a hellion too. A well-read hellion who was also a Teachers Aide in my free periods in school. I used to play Strip Poker on my Commodore 64 not for the pixelated nerd porn but for the music. That shit cracked me up! I went to ballet class after school, took a cab home and made napalm in the industrial area by the train tracks with friends. We’d toss it into huge, old concrete cylinders and watch it drip from the ceiling. We never hurt anyone, but we did a lot of stupid things that should have killed us.
Most everyone I know had a split personality in their childhood. It adds flavor and perspective to my adult life. I’ve always resisted growing up. I think it was Dolly Parton who said “I strive to be childlike, not childish.”
he deserves the worst because he gave his mother the worst. DESERVES HELL
As someone who knew Bryan for many years prior to this terrible incident, I find this news to be a bit of a shock – but not a complete shock. Without casting a vote, I’d like to provide some insight into factors not mentioned in this article. I don’t write this to create sympathy or justify the act he is charged with in any way, but instead, to possibly answer some of the questions that naturally come up when reading a tragedy like this.
As the article notes, Bryan indeed grew up in a financially-privileged environment and was expected to achieve the same “American Dream” status that his mother achieved before him. He was (according to him) quite badly physically abused and berated from an early age by his father – and possibly mother, as well. Though intelligent and culturally-sophistocated, he was never entirely able to fit in with society around him due to his quiet and depressive nature.
While he longed for female companionship, he firmly believed that he would never be able to obtain it unless he attained a high income. He practically resigned himself to a life of celibacy because of this, and just gave up. While he was urged by his mother to pursue more lucrative pursuits such as law or medicine, he never quite achieved well enough academically to meet those expectations. His mother regularly disapproved of his wishes to pursue more “soft” academic interests such as literature and creative writing…yet these were areas that Bryan was truly gifted in. As time progressed, his mother’s disapproval of him only increased.
At the same time, Bryan always spoke in very high regard of his mother, and described her as the only person in the world he cared about. Her opinion meant the world to him. He genuinely seemed to want to do well and meet her expectations, but was crushed by apathy and inability to excel in a comptitive academic environment. Despite her disappointment in him, Ms. Chang continued to support Bryan and do everything she could to try and help him become a professional member of society.
I got the impression that Bryan’s life had become a gigantic black hole; a world of failed pursuits and emptiness; with his mother being the only ray of light. When she finally decided to decline helping him, it doesn’t entirely surprise me that he snapped.
Nor does the extremity and brutality of the act itself entirely surprise me. Bryan was always a very calm and reserved person who did not express much emotion – be it happiness, sorrow or anger. He tended to intellectualize everything to avoid showing much feeling. In fact, when one of his only childhood friends committed suicide after failing to get into law school, he seemed to devote all of his energy to “wondering why he did it” (though the reason was obvious) instead of showing genuine remorse.
It’s as if this ultimate act of madness released all of the negative emotions that he’d built up over the years into one final, tragic conclusion.
Though I’m no developmental psychologist, I suspect that perhaps if Bryan’s parents had given him unconditional love instead of endless resources, and positive encouragement rather that setting the bar too high for him to clear, this tale might have had a happier ending.
hey, i don’t necessarily believe he was sponging off his parents. the job market is brutal right now. my best friend has a masters degree in electrical engineering and can’t find a job. and not for lack of trying. i’m 25 years old, and i know a lot of people (including myself) who still live in their parents’ basements.
that said, none of us are into killing our moms with hammers.
This is wrong….. he used a baseball bat not a hammer stored the body parts in a fridge and the dismemberment happened post-mortem.
