A Georgia teen was sentenced to life in prison for murder after strangling his sister in a fight when he changed the wifi password to knock others at home off the internet.

Kevon Watkins, then 16, wanted to block anyone else from logging on at his familys Macon home so that it wouldnt slow down the service while he played video games.

When his mother protested and it appeared he might hit her, Kevons 20-year-old sister, Alexus, stepped in and Kevon grabbed Alexus by the throat and put her in a chokehold that lasted an estimated 15 minutes, according to the prosecutor.

Only after his panicked mom called 911 and arriving officers ordered him to let go did Kevon do so, causing Alexus to drop to the floor.

Get up off the floor, Latoya Watkins told her daughter.

She didnt.

I started screaming, Latoya testified last week in Bibb County Superior Court, reports the Macon Telegraph.

The responding officers launched into CPR but couldnt save Alexus. She died of strangulation at the hospital hours later, on February 3, 2018.

Found guilty of murder, Kevon, now 18, was sentenced Friday by Bibb County Superior Court Judge Verda Colvin, reports Atlanta TV station WSB.

Im sorry, Kevon said through tears as he was led from the courtroom, according to the outlet.

He couldnt really explain to me why he didnt release her, Bibb County sheriffs investigator Marcus Baker testified during Kevons two-day trial, reports the Telegraph.

When Baker told Kevon his sister was dead and arrested him for murder, He cried. I cried too, Baker testified, according to the newspaper. Its a sad situation.

Latoya Watkins said that, on the day of the incident, her 13-year-old son had complained to her that Kevon had changed the password so no one else could use it. She testified that she responded by unplugging the router and taking it to her room.

Kevon came in my room and started grabbing something, it might have been a cord off the Internet box, she testified, according to the Telegraph. My daughter ran in there, she grabbed him He acted like he was going to hit me.

Alexus hit Kevon and a struggle between the two began on the bed and then moved to the floor.

I thought it was a normal brother-sister fight because they always fuss and fight like this, said Latoya.

But when she couldnt stop it and after the 13-year-old boy also tried and failed to push his older brother off his sister the mom called for help.

The judge who was asked by Kevons defense attorney to decide the case, rather than a jury cited the 13-year-olds efforts in ruling that Kevon was guilty of murder and not a lesser charge of manslaughter, reports WSB.

I never intended to kill her at all, Kevon testified in tears during his trial, according to the Telegraph. She taught me most everything I know.

District Attorney David Cooke said in a statement: This act of violence resulted in an unspeakable tragedy for this family. I hope this verdict and sentence closes the door on this chapter of their lives and that they will be able to begin to heal.

There's gotta be a lot of pent up anger for him to hold her in a choke hold for 15 full minutes. That's an obscene amount of time.

If he only held her for half as long she might have gotten off with brain damage. But why didn't he let go? If why you didn't want to choke someone to death, you'd stop choking them the moment when they went unconscious. What made him so aggressive?

*sees a fifteen minute choking session*

Mom: Looks normal to me.

As for the situation, throw away the key. There are anger issues and then there's choking someone out for a quarter hour over a WiFi password. I don't see that kind of scum getting rehabilitated.

I've been angry plenty of times before, but fifteen minutes is five rounds of boxing. You don't have rage cloud your head that long barring a situation where you're in constant danger.

I find it insane mom did nothing to even try to save her daughter, throw things at him, hit him in the nuts, something to make his ass let go.

Mother and son deserve to be thrown in jail, and I feel bad for the sister who sacrificed her life for her mother who dod NOTHING to try and save her.

He also probably has an extreme case of online gaming addiction. I remember when I was 17 years old and playing my first online game ever, phantasy star online on the dreamcast via it's 56k modem. The anger/snapping I used to do when my mom or older brother's friends called our house phone and knocked me off the net was bat-shit insane, looking back at it. *My parents had to start taking away the dreamcast, or just simply taking away my phantasy star online disc because I was wild'n out hard. I am definitely grateful for that these days*

Unless I'm reading the story wrong, it looks like the mother called the cops only after a couple of minutes in a panic. The kid didn't let go of the choke hold until the officers told him to do so, so if it took them 10 minutes to arrive on the scene that means the mom would have called within the first 5 minutes.

He obviously didn't learn the "4x rules of 3" for basic survival.

The average adult human can survive no more than:
3 Minutes without Oxygen
3 Hours without Shelter in a Harsh Environment (unless in Icy Water)
3 Days without Water
3 Weeks without Food.

This info was taken from the USAF and their specialized division on wilderness survival.

This is pointless I know but the brain can survive without being constantly supplied oxygen for up to 6 minutes before it starts to suffer tissue damage. Still don't get why he had to choke her unconscious, let alone choking someone for several minutes.

or like someone said, find something heavy and just smack the shit out of him

Kid seems remorseful, unintended and possibly fucked up in a number of ways. If that gets you life in prison as a juvenile there's no way up to say, some asshole kicking a homeless person to death and having no remorse. And I think there should be a difference there.

1. This is horrible all around .
2. The parents suck. She literally waited before calling for help and then girl fall to ground she tells her to get up off the floor.
3. Since this is murder and no man, can we all agree putting someone in choke hold and killing is a murder.
