MINNEAPOLIS, MN – Michael Gallagher has been charged with murder after the 62-year-old allegedly beat his elderly mother to death with a sculpture of himself.
According to reports, Gallagher went to his 89-year-old mother’s apartment on Thursday to help her do some cleaning. The next day, he called 911 to report that he’d killed her.
Gallagher reportedly told police that he was upset over bedbugs in his mother’s apartment that he was unable to get rid of, and the fact that his mother may get kicked out and he would have to move some things for her.
So he grabbed a sculpture of himself that was in his mother’s home, and used it to beat the poor woman to death. He also admitted that he tried to smother her with a pillow, suffocate her with a garbage bag and strangle her with his hands.
Gallagher was subsequently arrested and is currently charged with second-degree murder.…
