After attempting to kill his mother, Tobias “Toby” Jacob Brewer, 17, was charged by Brevard County with first-degree attempted murder. When his mother asked him to clean his room, the teen allegedly beat and stabbed her until the frying pan’s handle broke.
Tired of Constant Nagging
Toby acknowledged that he was annoyed by his mother’s nagging for him to tidy up his room. He claimed he disliked doing his room up and was sick of hearing his mother scold him until one day when his hatred attempted to murder the victim.
According to the detectives, he claimed to have repeatedly stabbed his mother with a pocket knife before striking her in the head with a frying pan until the handle broke. Brewer confessed to robbing his mother of her car keys and taking cash from her purse to have some money once he left the area, a source posted,
Brewer ran away from the crime scene and gave police a long chase. Brewer’s case was eventually transferred to adult court after his arrest and booking into a juvenile detention facility on November 30.
‘Toby Did This’
On Nov. 30, Brewer’s mother was discovered by the responding officers lying on the floor of her home’s laundry room. The woman’s nose was almost entirely detached, and she had numerous stab wounds. A small black folding knife and a bloody frying pan with a broken handle, which were used in the attack, were discovered nearby, according to cbs12.com report.
She was airlifted to Holmes Regional Medical Center for treatment, where she is in critical but stable condition after the victim took a breath and told police, “Toby did this.”He faces charges of fleeing law enforcement, grand theft of a motor vehicle, attempted first-degree murder, and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder.
