The alleged killers of the minister found dead inside his own church 'laughed' while watching a news report about the case on television, court documents said.
Pastor Clint Dobson, 29, of NorthPointe Baptist Church in Arlington, was suffocated with a plastic bag and his assistant Judy Elliott, 67, was severely beaten, they said.
Steven Nelson, 24, and Anthony Springs, 19, were ‘laughing and making inappropriate comments about Dobson’s death’, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.
‘When confronted about this behaviour (Springs) produced an item he claimed belonged to Dobson,’ it said.
They made the comments at a friend’s house in front of two women who contacted police the next day to say what they had heard, reported the Dallas Morning News.
Police said soon after the death last Thursday that a motive of robbery may have been behind the physical assaults, as some items were missing from the church.

I’m assuming they’ve stopped laughing.
They should be hanging from a lamp post in the middle of town.
They will stop laughing in Huntsville
How horrible. But at least somebody in “the community” was also horrified enough to turn them in. I hope these two women who reported what they heard are safe and are being given protection (remember the “Don’t Snitch” rapper thing where crime witnesses and even victims are not supposed to report a crime and will be killed if they do).
These women were very brave and obviously have Christian values still. Prayers for them.
I hope these swine get the death penalty, and that it is carried out swiftly.
What? Twenty years from now?
Time for a short rope and a tall tree. Twice.
I hope that the women are given a reward of some kind.
Typically the kind of women that would hang out with losers like this would be too scared to turn them in.
Wow, the UK papers somehow get the “non-Jesse and Al” stories out quicker than US papers...
Fire up Old Sparky!
Pray for the entire family of Pastor Dobson.
Two pieces of garbage removed from the street. Hopefully the death penalty that Texas is known for will be given to these two.
They must surely have lead quite "rough" lives for such a short span to look that hard.
Overheard comment from the Editors of The Dallas Morning News, which is notoriously anti-death penalty, “Oh, crap!.”
My condolences to the entire Dobson family, and prayers for the secretary to make a complete recovery.
Is this a “hate crime”?
If they should laugh about anything, it should be about the one dude who looks like he gets his afro cut with a salad bowl and a pair of scissors.
Execute them. We simply can’t afford life imprisonment.
