Teen hatchet killing suspect said overdose 'made me go mad

[boo7382]

wow, this is pretty crazy. This kid says he did it b/c of MucinexDM.....really?

A Kings Mountain teen accused of using a shotgun, handgun and hatchet to kill his roommate told a 911 dispatcher he had overdosed on cough medicine then gave grisly details of a killing.

Michael Joseph Anderson, 19, is charged with murder after deputies on Monday found the body of Stephen Starr, 36, inside Starr's home south of Hickory.

Authorities say Anderson called 911 early Monday saying he had killed and mutilated Starr, whom he claimed to have recently met at a club and moved in with. A word was carved into Starr's body, but authorities wouldn't say what it was.

On the 911 recording, a distraught-sounding man says: "I waited until he went to sleep and then I shot him three times, and then I mutilated him very badly, and I'm sorry."

The man also reports feeling conflicted after visiting a gay club, where he claims he met Starr.

The caller says he had ingested Mucinex DM, an over-the-counter cough suppressant that contains dextromethorphan. The FDA has issued warnings saying abuse of the drug is on the rise and can cause hallucinations and psychotic episodes.

On a Facebook page listed for Michael Joseph Anderson, postings minutes before the 911 call speaks of a killing.

"I WOULD RATHER WANT TO KILL ALOT MORE YOU KNOW BUT OH WELL ONE WILL DO I GUESS..."

Another post, says "i finally cracked guys i really did it this time guys."

I have done a lot of that poo. too much probably...But for people to go off killing people while they are high, high on anything, only says what is in their hearts already.

Indeed. I tried it a few times when I was young, it's no more than taking some acid.

What I think happened was....

The suspect had his first gay sexual experience, and maybe felt violated and a little "butthurt" about it, and killed the guy IMO
