Alex and Derek King
I have had enough of bad stories today. I read Meryl’s post about Baby Briana, a 5 months old baby raped by her father and uncle and beaten by her mother to death. And then now, the case of Alex and Derek King.

Alex and Derek King, 12-and-13-years-old, killed Terry King, their father in his Cantonment, Florida home on the Sunday after Thanksgiving in year 2001 with a baseball bat and then set the house on fire to cover up evidence of the brutal murder. Alex made the plan while younger brother Derek admitted that he was the one who hit his father with an aluminum bat on his head. The two were arrested in November of 2005 for the brutal murder of their father, Terry King.
The sad story became even more cruel upon the revelation that Rick Chavis their neighbor, convinced the kids to commit the murder of their father so that he could continue a sexual relationship with the younger brother Alex.
Alex, now 18, is a free man. He was released on Wednesday morning, April 9, 2008 at 9:45 a.m. after serving six years for his part in his father’s death. Derek, is still imprisoned at the Lancaster Correctional Facility, a prison for young offenders. Derek is scheduled to be released in May 2009. Rick Chavis was found guilty of being an accessory after the fact to third-degree murder, tampering with evidence, and false imprisonment involving Alex. He received the maximum sentence of 35 years, and is not scheduled for release until 2037.
If not about news of parents abusing their children, a gruesome murder of sons to their father on the other.. what’s next? I need to breath, this is too much for a day!
