A depraved teenager who allegedly subjected a vulnerable pensioner to an horrific sex attack before beating her to death told officers he did it because he was bored.
The vile crime has left hardened detectives shaken after Nancy Ann Krapfl, 66, was found fighting for life with her injuries sustained in the appalling incident.
Helmon Betwell from Dubuque, Iowa, allegedly told officers he launched the random attack because there “was nothing better to do.”
He said the victim was in the “wrong place at the wrong time”.
Police told local news that the woman was found lying on the ground in a residential area with severe facial injuries.
Documents show that Betwell was taken to the Dubuque Law Enforcement Center and admitted to seeing the woman, knocking her out and that he continued to “hit her everywhere” and have sex with her.
The teenager then told investigators that when he returned to the scene after going home, he noticed the woman had crawled into the grass, and he began to strike her again.
He left her lying there naked and returned home.
She was later discovered but despite the efforts of hospital medics, she soon died.
It’s claimed no weapons were involved, and that local woman Ms Krapfl, 66, most likely was beaten to death.
