A Memphis woman was arrested and charged with first-degree murder after she bludgeoned her boyfriend to death with an iPod.

There are various aspects of this story that don't make sense:
1. This must be one of the smaller objects with which anyone has been bludgeoned to death.
2. Why didn't the boyfriend fight back? If he was knocked unconscious after the first blow, why did Ms. Mathers continue to hit him with the iPod?
3. Why is it said that Pulaski died of "blunt trauma", but was "stabbed ... 40 to 80 times"? (Perhaps this has to do with how the iPod was held.)
4. How did this odd couple get together?
Most references to this story seems to trace back to the same website. There do not appear to be any major news organizations that picked up on this. Links to other news articles from the specified page appear to be dead. There are no other Internet references to the coroner quoted in the article. I'm thinking that the story be a hoax.
