Student Kills His Mum With a Baseball Bat In Grades Row

A student beat his mother to death with a baseball bat during a row over his bad college grades.Tyler Blansit, 22, has admitted to the killing, according to DeKalb County Sheriff Jimmy Harris, who described the crime scene as "brutal".
The body of 45-year-old Sherry Ann Blansit was found by officers in the backyard of the family home in Mentone.
She had died from a blow to the head.
Police were called to the house by her son, who had scratches on him.
Sheriff Harris told MyFoxAl: "Usually we'll have calls where a parent has whipped a child because of grades, a child has run away because of bad grades, but we've never had anything like this happen.
"It's just one of those things you can't explain; we'll never be able to explain what went through his mind, why he snapped and did this."
Officials said Blansit attended the University of Alabama-Birmingham, where he studied biology.
He had gone home at the end of the spring term.
His father had been at work at the time of the killing, said Mentone police chief Brad Gregg.
Blansit, who is charged with murder, was the couple's only child.
