An American teenager has been sentenced to life in prison after his sister was strangled to death during a fight over a Wi-Fi password.


Kevon Watkins, a 16-year-old from Georgia, changed the Wi-Fi password at home as Internet speeds became slow due to consumption, the British Independent newspaper reported.
The whole family have and not being able to use video games connected to the Internet.

When his mother tried to remove the video game from his room, his 19-year-old sister, Alexis Watkins, intervened for fear that the dispute would develop. Kevon then put his hands around his sister's neck and did not leave her for at least 10 minutes.

The police arrived home 10 minutes later, and Kivon was still holding his sister.

"In those 10 minutes, Alecs stopped moving," said Verda Colvin, the Supreme Court judge in Pape County, Alabama.

Alexis was rushed to hospital immediately and her death was strangled later that night.
Kivon was convicted of a felony murder, rather than murder, because he deliberately strangled his sister, which led directly to her death, according to the district attorney.
After he was sentenced, Kevon cried: "I'm sorry."
