Matthew Owens Beating - New Info [View all]

http://blog.al.com/live/2012/04/tensions_leading_to_beating_of.html

Lots, and lots, and lots of stuff here. Still pretty vague on details of exactly what happened...

This caught my eye:

The neighbor said Owens previously had been extremely angry at the children. “He ran in here and got 2 butcher knives. I said, ‘What are you doing with these?’” he said. “He was in a rage.”

The neighbor said he does not know what Owens did with the knives but added that he does not believe they were a factor in the confrontation with the children or the subsequent beating.


I kind of guessed that there were more details here and sure enough it looks as though there probably are.
