Pictures: An Australian man kills his son after disturbing him by screaming while playing the PlayStation

   A 23-year-old Australian "addicted to video games" killed his seven-week-old baby after he shook him badly because he cried and was not allowed to play the game console. Defendant named Joseph MacDonald surrendered to Australian courts and pleaded guilty to the murder of his son, Lucas MacDonald.

Before the accident, Joseph MacDonald was treated for his gambling and drug addiction. The father sent a letter to his wife apologizing for being "the worst father in the world". According to research, it was revealed that the man hit his child because crying did not allow him to play the PlayStation.

The public prosecutor stated in the case that Lucas' father killed him by "hitting him directly on the head or hitting his head with another object." After that, MacDonald continued to play with his console and fell asleep. But the child's condition deteriorated after the strong blow to the skull and his mother, Samantha, who saw that the child did not stop crying , took him to the hospital ,   five days later, the doctors announced the child's death.

The tests revealed that the child had a fatal cerebral hemorrhage. Doctors also confirmed that the injuries sustained by the deceased were caused by sudden tremors or shock. Not that it was a coincidence, so Samantha interrogates her boyfriend who admitted that he pressed his head so he could stop crying.

The mother of the murdered child stated that "the child is innocent and cannot defend himself," and added that what her husband did was "a cowardly act" because he was his father and was supposed to protect him: "I imagine what was inside his head at that time."

MacDonald pleaded guilty to the Supreme Court of Victoria, a state located in South Australia. The player confirmed in his confession that he felt frustrated during one of the games and the minor attacked his son without realizing it.
