A slipped bicycle chain is good enough reason for stepfather to murder his
15 y.o. son ? No, that is not the real reason- that is poor excuse. There is
more to this murder-not the slipped chain.
Apparently, stepfather did not know how to adjust the wheel by loosen up
the nuts at the spindle.
This is such a horrible story lock him up for life! Murderer.
