Man Does Something Absolutely Disturbing To Girl
A Holt, Michigan, man was arrested after he “snapped” and stabbed his 5-year-old stepdaughter, then set her body on fire with vodka.
Thomas McClellan reportedly grew irritated with his stepdaughter after she kept asking him for a snack, and suddenly started stabbing her with a sharp object. After killing her, McClellan wrapped her body in blankets and doused it with vodka. He then set the body on fire.
The body was found after McClellan attempted to set it on fire in his bedroom and lost control of it – prompting the fire department to arrive to the scene. Firefighter Cory Drolett said that he thought the girl was hiding from the fire when he went into house, and searched around for her until he finally found her corpse.
The girl’s mother, Victoria McClellan, was working when her husband killed her daughter, but was at the house when firefighters attempted to perform CPR on her. She convinced her husband to turn himself in for the crime.
“It’s been heartbreaking,” community manager Pam Spalding said, AWM reported. “We’re gonna be just trying to support her even if it’s just with sending prayers for her and her family. “They’ve already started up donations for the family to help offset any costs, there was a candlelight vigil that was set up. We’re here for them. Any way that we can help, we want to help. It’s really great to see my community come together.”
Many readers were horrified by the story and the man’s actions, calling for him to be sentenced to death.
“How about we tie him up and set him on fire, tired of these worthless pieces of crap getting to set in prisons or mental hospitals for their atrocious crimes and living off of us, they are not mine to support and deserve to die. Forget this appeals crap,” one AWM America reader commented on the site’s Facebook page.
“Why is this murderer still living? He should have lived only long enough for the county to get the scaffold built to hang him by the neck until dead, publicly, in front of everyone so that all could see there are consequences for murder, not a life of free food and medical care at taxpayer expense,” another added.
“He should be stabbed several times and then hung slowly. Bring back hanging and stop coddling these criminals. Can’t give them shots to kill them because it might hurt. God who cares, don’t they ever think of the victim and what they went through,” another reader expressed.
