A family tragedy has begun unraveling as a 19-year-old soldier on leave appeared in court on accusations he killed and raped his 17-year-old sister.

Steven Kelsey, home for the holidays from basic training with the U.S. Army, stood mute on charges of first-degree murder and felony murder Saturday morning during an arraignment in Oakland County Circuit Court.

If convicted, he faces life in prison.

The body of his sister, 17-year-old Jesika Kelsey, was found Thursday in the bedroom of a mobile home in the 40 block of Grant Drive in the Highland Greens Mobile Home Park, off of Milford Road and north of Highland Road in Highland Township.

A similar incident happened in the Bible, one of David’s sons and one of his daughters............

That was my thought too!!! The way the title and article are written, we're talking necrophilia!

So just because you have a son that is a little older than his sister this could be your family?? Get a grip. This type of thing is almost unheard of (except perhaps in the middle east). If someone goes outside and gets hit by lightning, do you freak out and worry that next time it could be you?

From the linked article: “This week, a 19-year-old soldier from Highland, Michigan, Steven Kelsey, stabbed his 17-year- old sister Jesika Kelsey to death and then raped her.”

Killed THEN raped.

There are no words . . .

They have been reporting this as “killed then raped”

She was stabbed multiple times then sexually assaulted.

OMG!

I thought there was an error in the headline. This guy is seriously deranged. Poor girl, RIP.

Any time you hear of some bizarre tragedy happening these days, it is usually because of one of two things:
  1. Somebody talking on their cell phone instead of paying attention to what they are doing.

  2. Somebody on Meth.
In this case I suspect the second option.

That is EXACTLY my question. One would think reversing it would be marginally less awful.

This is sad indeed, of course it had nothing to do with the military.

My guess is he had raped her prior to this event happening and beofre boot camp.

It has to do with the military in that they didn’t weed him out. Scraping the bottom of the barrel, the way they did with those four marines who killed their sergeant and his wife, sexually abusing the wife.

There are some people you pray never get brought into the armed forces to disgrace them, or perhaps, to become more dangerous than they already are.

“It has to do with the military in that they didn’t weed him out.”

So I take it you didn't read the story at the link?

From the blog with the attached story the writer said he had no previous issues. How does the military weed out someone with “no previous issues”?
