QUIRKY WORLD ... Man killed his stepfather with an ‘atomic wedgie’

USA: An Oklahoma man has pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter for asphyxiating his stepfather with the underwear he was wearing in a move police dubbed an ‘atomic wedgie’.

Brad Davis, aged 34, who pleaded guilty, faces 4-35 years in prison for the death of Denver St Clair, aged 58, in December 2013 in McLoud, east of Oklahoma City. Sentencing is scheduled for July.

Davis pulled St Clair’s underwear over his head and around his neck, where the elastic band left ligature marks, police said. The cause of death was blunt force trauma and asphyxiation, according to the pathologist.
