A dad has been charged with murder after allegedly beating a man to death who followed his daughter into a toilet. Melvin Harris was so incensed the man followed his teenage daughter into the public toilets at a supermarket, he took things into his own hands, police in Arizona have said.
ABC15 reports the dead man was trying to enter the girl’s bathroom cubicle. Phoenix police said just before midnight on Thursday, August 2, the 40-year-old father went to a QuikTrip store to pick up his teenage daughter and her friends.
Officers say it appears the man begged the father for some money, received some, and went into the store. But it is claimed he then went into the loos to pester the daughter too. Harris allegedly told a security guard to do something as the man was leaving, and apparently warned that if he didn’t “he would do it himself”.
The guard reportedly told Harris he would handle it, but witnesses said Harris later approached the man and punched him in the face.
Harris is alleged to have stood over him, hitting him in the face several more times. Police were told he also allegedly kicked and stomped on him.
Harris and his daughter went home were he was later arrested. The dad claimed to have been defending himself as the man punched him first, hitting him in the neck.
Harris also denied striking the man when he was down. The victim was taken to the hospital with a broken nose and brain injuries from which he later died. Harris is charged with second-degree murder.
