WAUKEGAN, Ill. (AP) - The man accused of stabbing to death his 8-year-old daughter and her best friend hunted his child down in a park in a fit of rage because she was supposed to be grounded for stealing money, prosecutors said Wednesday.

A judge denied bail for 34-year-old ex-convict Jerry Hobbs after prosecutors said he admitted in videotaped and written statements to beating and stabbing his daughter Laura Hobbs and 9-year-old Krystal Tobias on Mother's Day.

He claimed the older girl pulled a knife on him, but prosecutors said they doubt that.

The girls were found dead Monday in a park in Zion, the day after they never came back from a bike ride. They had more than 30 stab wounds between them, and Laura was stabbed in each eye, prosecutors said.

"You can see through the injuries to these two individuals the rage that was exhibited. This was a slaughter of two little girls," prosecutor Jeff Pavletic said.

Hobbs, who had been released from a Texas prison last month, said he thought Laura had stolen money from her mother, prosecutors said. She was supposed to be grounded on Mother's Day, but her mother let her go out and play, so Hobbs went out to find her and bring her home, Pavletic said.

"Mr. Hobbs believed that her mother was too lax in her supervision of Laura," the prosecutor said.

But when Hobbs found the girls, Laura refused to go home, and he beat and stabbed the girls with a small kitchen knife, prosecutors said. Hobbs then allegedly dragged them into the woods and left them side-by-side.

What a fucking sick fuck. I think it is time to hug your parents. I'm pretty sure that I won't have kids, which is sort of sad because I know they would be beautiful and I've been told a few times that I would make a great dad, and this once came from a young girl 10 years old. But oh well. When Myke was here he said I was a beatnik. I think he meant it as a compliment.

Time yet for those babies Mr McC.

Just come downstairs from a snuggling session with the little one. Magic. She is 27 months old these days. Some days I just wish we could stop the clock and stay like this forever. Out of daipers and stringing words together with nonsense logic. It is my favourite time.

Henry on the other hand......his teacher told me today that I have to have a talk with him. He has been kissing and licking the girls in his class.

Okay so ... I did actually watch the news today instead of skimming a paper but ... who the hell takes a knife (kitchen knife anyway) with them looking for a kid? I mean ... I don't have kids, but my little brother is a bratt and I've gone to look for him plenty of times, it never crossed my mind I was going to take a knife with me.
Ugh.

I think I'm starting to like kids - provided their not mine and across the room. Then I suppose they're not so scary.

I don't see what's so wrong about going looking for two 9 year old girls with a butchers knife. Don't you guys watch horror movies?

Diapers schmeipers. I grew up calling them nappies. Still call them that when not on this site.

This site is one of the few places in the US where you could say "Nappies " and the anglophiles here would get it. Be who you are, especially on PA!
