(Scroll down for video) A teenage boy is accused of killing his sister while doing wrestling moves on her.
The 13-year-old boy of New Orleans, Louisiana, was charged with second-degree murder in the death of his 5-year-old half-sister.
Investigators said that Devalon Armstrong told police that he hit his sister, Viloude Louis, several times with wrestling moves he had seen on the WWE television show. Armstrong had been left to babysit his sister after his stepmother left the house, that’s when the alleged beating occurred, authorities said.
Armstrong allegedly told police that he wrestled with the 5-year-old as he practiced WWE wrestling moves on her, according to Colonel John Fortunato of the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office.
The wrestling moves allegedly included repeatedly hitting her head on a bed, punching her in the stomach, jumping on her and hitting her with his elbow. The coroner’s office found the girl died from multiple injuries, including broken ribs, liver lacerations and internal bleeding.
After the “game”, she complained of stomach pain. When she stopped breathing, the teen called 911. Emergency crews were unable to revive her and she was pronounced dead at a hospital. In a statement, WWE offered their condolences to the family of the victim, but cautioned against attributing the death to their industry.
After it was determined that the murder was not an accident, but rather due to a wrestling move, the teen was arrested and charged with second degree murder.
