Half Brother Admits Slitting 4-Year-Old Sister's Throat

Tuesday, June 23, 2009
Chicago Sun-Times: Four-year-old Sabrina Clement had to die, her 18-year-old half brother told police, because he couldn't get a gun to kill the person he believed was abusing the little girl, according to court documents filed recently.

"It was me," Keith Randulich told police in a soft voice when they showed up to the family's Mokena home on May 22 and found him covered in blood, according to a search warrant affidavit Mokena police filed on June 9.

Randulich also told police later that night that he wanted to kill a person he thought had been molesting Sabrina for two years.

He got a firearm owners I.D. card and asked his mother on May 22 to buy him a gun, according to the affidavit.

When she refused, she and her son argued, so she left her 16-year-old in charge of the little girl while she and her husband went to her 14-year-old son's school, it continued.

Randulich said that person was too big to kill without a gun, according to the affidavit.

So while his 16-year-old brother was upstairs playing a wrestling video game, Randulich decided to slit his sister's neck because he thought "it would be quick."

He called 911, saying he "murdered his sister with a knife."

Aside from physical evidence taken from the home, police also recovered video games, a bunch of heavy metal CDs, clown masks and a book titled "Children At Risk: What You Need to Know to Protect Your Children."

Randulich is awaiting trial in the Will County Adult Detention Facility in lieu of $10 million bail. His attorney could not be reached Wednesday for comment.

His case returns to court on Monday.

“Aside from physical evidence taken from the home, police also recovered video games, a bunch of heavy metal CDs, clown masks and a book titled “Children At Risk: What You Need to Know to Protect Your Children.” None of that was relevant to the story. What was the purpose of including that information? To characterize the kid as a psycho. Did anyone consider his side of the story?

Well its another thing for Fox news to bring up in there stories on how video games and music are ruining the lives of our youth. I cant believe this, 4 years old and not able to experience life.

I feel sorry for the parents! They have a little girl that’s dead, a son who admitted to killing his little sister and is now in jail, and two other kids that will be scared for life. I can’t imagine how the parents are feeling. my heart goes out to them!

Some crimes automatically diagnose the perpetrator as insane. How many times have you heard of a parent killing a youngster because they were “possessed”? My guess is he was the one molesting the child.

I so relate to this story. Abused myself I protected my siblings and when I could; not that my thoughts were not to do the same now. So they would not feel how I felt; alone, ashamed, terrified yet most of all called a liar (hence the book). Though I did not know why I cried when I left them for school, I do now. Years later. I do not condone what he did, but understand it. Had I had clarity, that may be my picture up there, say 20ish years ago.

This is in the Bible Micah 7:6: 6For the son dishonoreth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law: a man’s enemies are the men of his own house. AND Mark 13:12 Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents and shall cause them to be put to death.
