Sister asks for Wi-Fi password. Brother’s response? Choking her for over 10 mins until she’s dead

A Georgia teenager who killed his older sister during a fight over the family’s Wi-Fi password has been sentenced to life in prison with the chance of parole. Kevon Watkins was 16 years old when this happened at their Macon home in February 2018. The trouble started when Kevon changed the family’s Wi-Fi password because he wanted to play video games on his Xbox without any interruptions. 

According to what people said at trial, obtained by MTV, sharing the internet connection with other family members made it too slow for his gaming. When his mother found out what he had done, they got into an argument. As things got worse and it looked like they might get physical, Kevon’s 20-year-old sister Alexus Breanna Watkins stepped in to protect their mother. What started as a normal sibling fight quickly turned deadly.
