A Georgia teen who choked his sister to death during a squabble over the family’s Wi-Fi password has been sentenced to life behind bars, a judge ruled.

Kevon Lamar Watkins, who was just 16 at the time of the fatal February 2018 attack on his 19-year-old sister Alexus Breanna Watkins, was found guilty Friday of felony murder and aggravated assault, the Macon Telegraph reported.

On the evening of the attack, Kevon had reportedly been playing an Xbox game and changed the family’s Wi-Fi password once the connection in the home started to lag because of the number of people using it.

Alexus had been arguing with her brother after he confronted their mother — who was trying to remove the gaming system from his room, according to 911 calls and testimony at Kevon’s bench trial.

During the proceedings, Bibb County Superior Court Judge Verda Colvin explained that she found Kevon guilty of murder instead of voluntary manslaughter because his 13-year-old brother had tried to stop him from choking their sister.

“Even under the best estimation, by the time [a sheriff’s deputy] got there … It had been at least 11 minutes that the defendant had to have been choking his sister,” Colvin said, according to the local paper. “In those 10 minutes, she had to have stopped moving. Perhaps that wasn’t noticed by the defendant because he was still angry.”

Alexus was pronounced dead of asphyxiation early the next morning at a local hospital.

Kevon sobbed as the judge handed down his sentence, and his only intelligible words were, “I’m sorry.”

“I think everyone understands,” Colvin said, “including this court.”

The teen had previously told an investigator that he and his sister argued nearly every day.

Colvin argued that Kevon should have been given tools to cope with his anger.

“In this household, chaos was empowered,” the judge said. “In this household, the ability to ignore and follow corrective discipline was empowered.”

Colvin called her decision “the most difficult thing I’ve had to do since I took the bench in April of 2014,” according to the Telegraph.
