Two teens killed a seven-year-old girl after performing on her some moves from the Mortal Kombat video game, the prosecutors informed.
The two accidental killers are Heather Trujillo, 16, and Lamar Roberts, 17. The police put them under arrest.
Of course, all kids tend to imitate what they see at on TV, weather it is a film or a video game, but Heather and her boyfriend Lamar went way too far with it. The two youngsters "punched, kicked and body-slammed" until the seven-year-old lost her consciousness. The little girl was Trujillo's half sister, Zoe Garcia.
After Zoe blacked out, the two aggressors did al they could to revive her, but she died later in hospital. The autopsy showed the little girl had suffered a broken wrist, bleeding in the neck, swelling of the brain and more than 20 bruises.
Zoe died on Dec. 6 from "blunt force trauma" to her brain and central nervous system, according to the Weld County Coroner.
The two teenagers from Jamestown, Colorado, declared they were drunk and that is why they did not realized what they were doing. They are being held on trial for child abuse causing death, and face up to 48 years imprisonment. They are in custody, each being held on $100,000 bond.
Lamar Roberts, who said he was a martial-arts expert with his hands registered as "lethal weapons”, said Zoe had asked him to stop hitting her but that he didn't because "...I was drunk."
He continued to describe what happened by saying he performed a back kick on her, then kicked her again as she ran toward him. After this last hit Zoe fell to the ground and remained unconscious. The two, who were baby sitting her, waited for 15 minutes before calling for help.
They also put the little girl in a bath, which temporarily revived her, but then she stopped breathing again. Roberts said he cracked an egg in her mouth "to see if she was messing around with them." The egg went down her throat, the official declaration stated.
Zoe’s mother arrived and the scene along with the medical staff, after the two called them. The six-year-old girl was declared dead at the Northern Colorado Medical Center.
