MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE (HLN) - A Memphis woman was arrested and charged with first-degree murder after she bludgeoned her boyfriend

to death with an iPod.

Arleen Mathers, 23, was arrested Thursday morning after she called Memphis Police and said she had killed her boyfriend (

), according to a Sheriff’s Department report.

When deputies arrived at Mathers’ apartment at 528 Poplar Avenue, Mathers led them to the body of her boyfriend, Brad Pulaski, 27.

Brad Pulaski had died of blunt trauma to the head

after being repeatedly bludgeoned with an iPod, a popular MP3 player produced by Apple.

Police said no motive has been confirmed, although evidence suggested the murder was the result of a domestic dispute :mumble:

after Pulaski erased the contents of Mathers’ iPod.

According to law officers, Mathers was hysterical

when police arrived and told them that she killed her boyfriend only after he accused her of illegally downloading music and erased about 2,000 of her MP3s. Mathers complained that it took 3 months to build her music collection.

An autopsy performed Friday afternoon

at Methodist Hospital showed that Brad Pulaski had been beat multiple times in the face and chest by a blunt metal object, and died of internal bleeding, said Dr. Felix Klamut, deputy coroner.

According to Apple’s website, the iPod is partially made of a hard metal plate that’s been praised for it’s resistance to regular wear and tear, like drops and coffee spills.

“It took him a while to die,”

Dr. Klamut said. “She must have stabbed him 40 to 80 times with that iPod. His death was not instantaneous, that’s for sure”

Arleen Mathers was arraigned Friday night by a video hookup from the county jail. Municipal Court Judge Simon Lambert set her bond at $600,000 and scheduled a preliminary hearing for March 9.

[llkoolkeg]

She should have backed her stuff up.

 

[manhattanprjkt83]

yeah I am in the process of backing all 97gb of my hard drives onto dvd's annoying...

 

[manhattanprjkt83]

It's easier to just backup the stuff you can't re-install. I never backup my c drive because all that is on it is winders. It truly is a pain to backup 100+ gig of junk.

 

[w00dy]

So does it still work? If so, I'm getting one. That would be a hell of a selling point.

 

[Echo]

Speechless.

I'm surprised that Syadasti hasn't chimed in yet about how the people you bludgeon to death using a Rio Karma stay dead longer and how the experience is that much better using one of those than with an iPod.

 

[RaID]

i'd do the same if someone erased my music collection
that i ACTUALLY bought

I dont want to self incriminate here, but if you had the amount of stuff that i do, and spent a ton of time attaining it, you would prob back it up...its years worth, if my shat when down it would be all that time spent for nothigng! :mumble:

Wouldn't it be easiest to just buy a USB hard drive and backup to that? They come huge, now, don't they?
