Slideshow: Teens Allegedly Killed Man Who Mooned Them

Two local teens face murder charges after they allegedly chased a man who mooned them and bludgeoned him to death.

Martin Malone, 47, of Clifton Heights, Pa., died Friday night in the attack in Upper Darby, Pa. Click here to find out more!

Police credit the community with supplying information that lead to the arrests.

Investigators said Malone was sifting through trash at a Dumpster when Christopher McEneaney, 16, and Andre Mark, 18, started calling Malone names.

People who knew Malone said he was looking for objects to resell.

Investigators said the pair threw rocks at Malone and he mooned the teens, and they became upset.

"They were offended," said Upper Darby police chief Michael Chitwood. "That's why he died because he would dare offend them."

At some point, police said Malone took off running and tried to hide from the teens.

Police said the teens attacked Malone with a knife and shovel, and then left his body on a ball field.

Police also said evidence showed the teens were proud of the crime, because they saved the knife and newspaper clippings covering the murder. Police said witnesses to the crime who came forward and they were key in tracking the alleged killers.

"I do thank the people who came forward who identified the boys and the police," said Molly Malone-Munsell, the victim's sister.

Mark and McEneaney are charged with criminal homicide; first-, second- and third-degree murder; assault; robbery; theft; reckless endangerment; possessing instruments of crime; and conspiracy.

McEneaney is charged as an adult.

Both are being held without bail pending an April hearing.

That must be SOME arse!

[Junior]

Evidently, in your neck of the woods, when the moon comes out, so do the brickbats...

[fhlh]

do they have the death penalty in PA?

[Millee]

They say a full moon makes people go crazy! /tasteless joke

[mlc9852]

How horrible. No respect for life.

[TChris]

Whew! For a minute there, I thought the story was going to reveal he was killed with a gun! But since the weapons were a knife and a shovel, it's all OK.

Murder without a gun is no big deal. </sarcasm>

This Malone guy doesn't sound like he was exactly a pillar of the community, but he didn't do anything that deserved or warranted being bludgeoned to death.

Normally I don't say much about court cases because I naturally distrust DAs, the police, and judges, and I prefer to let the real information come out rather than go on the word of tabloid muckrakers like Greta Van Susteren and her merry crew of crooked lawyers. But these two clowns admitted it and were proud of it. They both need to do some hard time. Preferably, for the rest of their days.

Maybe I oughta rethink that New Year's Resolution...

"They were offended," said Upper Darby police chief Michael Chitwood. "That's why he died because he would dare offend them."

Looks like he's got the Muslim talking points down pat.

Andre Mark (18) is no boy. At eighteen he is old enough to fight and die for his country. Old enough to get married. Old enough to drink (though not legally).

They were offended so they figure they should murder him? Are they muslims?

[Vigilanteman]

Yes we do. Our most infamous death row inmate is the cop killer Mumbia of Free Mumbia/Fry Mumbia bumpersticker fame. Unfortunately, like most light blue states, Pennsylvania is too slow and too infrequent.

These kids will get a pass due to their age, unfortunately. They may be tried as adults, but they wil be back on the street within 10 years or less.

Fortunately he only mooned them. Had he drawn a cartoon, they would have tortured him for hours.

"They were offended"

Obviously these punks are Muslims.

[joesnuffy]

Did he have a tattoo of 'Mo Ham' Ed on his tuchus?

[lightman]

Mumia is still waiting, more than a quarter century after his cowardly execution of Philly cop Danny Falkner.

Wheels of justice in PA turn slower than a Conestoga wagon.

[JoeFromSidney]

Mumia is still waiting, more than a quarter century after his cowardly execution of Philly cop Danny Falkner.

His sentence was commuted to life imprisonment by a soft-hearted judge.
