A Texas man who admitted to killing his mother and raping her corpse clowned around for jurors who are considering his sentence.
Kevin Davis pleaded guilty Monday to first-degree murder, just as his trial began.
Prosecutors played a videotaped confession Tuesday to jurors, who heard the 18-year-old admit he tried to strangle Kimberly Hill with the power cord from a video game console on March 27, but when she did not stop screaming, he struck his mother’s head repeatedly with a hammer.
Davis told investigators on the recording that he stuck his hand into the open wound and moved her brain around to make sure she was dead, reported KZTV-TV.
Then, Davis told investigators, he raped his mother’s dead body.
Guess I lost my virginity to a dead corpse,” Davis said.
Davis watched the video intently, and when it was over, he swiveled his chair to face the jury and smiled, reported the Corpus Christi Caller Times.
Davis told detectives he had long fantasized about killing his mother and sister, and he waited a while for his sister to return home before deciding to leave his family’s Corpus Christi apartment and move away.
“I had my fill of killing,” he said. “It seemed a little much.”
