Vincent Parker, 16, Admits To Killing Parents With A Crowbar For Taking His iPod

As 16-year-old Vincent Parker's mother came out of the bathroom on Dec. 19, he doused her with pepper spray before stabbing her in the eye and beating her with both a baseball bat and a crowbar. He struck her 25 times before moving on to his father, who he killed using the same weapons.
And he did it all over a series of common punishments, "like my dad taking away my iPod and stuff," he reportedly told police. Parker admitted to the gruesome murders in a confession revealed in a Virginia court on Wednesday, according to WTKR-TV.
"I just remember getting mad," he reportedly told police. "It’s all from my dad. All this stuff like my dad taking away my iPod and stuff."
Parker -- an honor roll student at Norview High School in Norfolk -- confessed to killing his mother Carol, 57, and father Wayne, 55, after his DNA was found on several murder weapons, the New York Daily News reports. Those included the crowbar, the baseball bat and several bloody knives.
He was charged as an adult and pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree murder.
His grandfather, Allen Taylor, forgave the boy and told reporters that Parker was "smart" and "sane," according to the Daily Mail. A medical examiner says this smart and sane teen smashed and stabbed his mother 25 times in the neck, face and head until she stopped breathing.
He's scheduled to be sentenced on Sept. 18.

Casey Kasem hospitalized

​He was hospitalized Sunday after this scene. A fight erupted between Kasem's wife and his oldest daughter, Kerri, when Kerri said she'd be hospitalizing her father. And KCPQ has the strangest detail.

"Apparently Jean Kasem threw raw hamburger meat at his daughter, Kerri, who called the ambulance to take her dad to the hospital."




Yes, reportedly a pound of raw hamburger meat.

CNN mentions on Friday a Washington state judge gave Kerri Kasem the right to see her 82-year-old dad, who has dementia, and to take him to the doctor. Kerri won temporary conservatorship of Casey in a California court in May.

Family arguing erupted in May when Jean took Kasey from a nursing home in California to Washington, apparently without his children's knowledge.

​The New York Daily News reports they were found at the home of a friend. Kerri has alleged Jean is keeping Casey from his children because she thinks they will try to get him to change his will. (Via

But Jean says her husband's children have ruined their lives by involving the media in personal matters.

KING reports "Shame on these children. Shame. ... He wanted to go out strong. He wanted to leave beautiful memories. That was all torn apart."

Kerri says her dad is suffering from a bedsore and lung and bladder infections, but Jean argued he was receiving proper care. On June 6th, a hearing in Washington will determine if the California conservatorship order holds up. Then on the 20th in California, a hearing to see if the conservatorship will be extended.

Jean and Kasey have been married since 1980 and have one daughter, Liberty. Kerri and his two other children are from a previous marriage. (Via Flickr / Alan Light)
