2. Microsoft Xbox/Ghost Recon: Father Kills 17-month-old Daughter
Back in 2008, Tyrone Spellman (28) beat his 17-month-old daughter to death, caving in her skull. Spellman was said to be playing Ghost Recon at the time of the incident. His infant daughter somehow knocked his Xbox console to the ground, breaking it, which caused Spellman to enter a fit of rage that ended in his child’s death.
Spellman was characterized as “obsessed with video games”, allegedly playing for six to seven hours straight at a time. Spellman, who fled the house after the murder, allegedly said he snapped because he was worried that his daughter had broken his brother’s $600 console and he didn’t have any means to pay the money back. Spellman was later convicted and sentenced to 47 years in prison.
