UNIONTOWN, Pa. -- Police in Uniontown are holding a 58-year-old man who they suspect threw a microwave oven at his girlfriend and then beat her to death.

Authorities said Walter Fordyce attacked her after she refused to heat up some sandwiches for him. Fordyce is jailed without bond and charged with criminal homicide.

Police said he told them he began arguing with his live-in girlfriend Thursday, threw her to the floor, threw a microwave oven onto her chest, stomped on her and repeatedly banged her head on the floor until she lost consciousness.

Police said he also said it was an accident and claimed he didn't do it on purpose.

Authorities said that after he found no pulse on the woman, he drank a beer before going to a neighbors' home and asking them to call 911.

Did he poke her with a fork so she wouldn't explode?

He found someone to prepare meals for him. In prison.

Yeah, I was thinking it would be some high tech trickery.

Microwave as a blunt object just isn't the same.

"I accidentally threw down, threw the microwave at her, and beat her head on the floor until she died. Even though it was an accident, some accidents are thirsty work, which is why I drank a beer before calling 911."

Something tells me this guy's IQ isn't much higher than the number of his remaining teeth.

"he also said it was an accident and claimed he didn't do it on purpose."

Threw her to the ground (accident, didn't mean to.)

Threw oven into her rib cage (accident, didn't mean to.)

Stomped on her (accident, didn't mean to.)

Banged her head on the floor repeatedly (accident, didn't mean to.)



Quite a series of unintended accidents he accumulated there. I'll buy his deed to the Brooklyn Bridge for $1 and then ship him off for a speedy trial & execution.

When microwaves are outlawed, only outlaws will have popcorn.

If microwaves were
allowed to marry, then they
wouldn't commit crimes . . .

I think that microwave ovens should be banned from production and people forbidden to use them. This case shows that they kill people.

I still use my ancient hot-air popcorn popper and melt real butter on the stove to pour over it.

"threw a microwave oven onto her chest"

I can see it now, the microwave company is gonna get sued. Then they will have to put warning labels that say, "Do not throw at girlfriends chest"... : ) <<< me

Demanded ham sandwiches to be warmed up.

Service was too slow, threw girlfriend to ground.

Threw a microwave oven onto her chest.

Stomped on her and repeatedly.

Banged her head on the floor until she lost consciousness.

Checked for pulse.

No pulse - drink beer.

Decides to get rid of corpse in way of 7 inch tv screen.

Damn, no phone. Cannot afford phone + beer.

Go next door to call cops.

Finish beer, smell own pits.

Tilting of head causes only two brain cells to rub together.

Idea: claim it was an accident.
