Crime Classification Manual Part II Chapter 6 C 79
A
STANDARD SYSTEM FOR INVESTIGATING AND CLASSIFYING VIOLENT CRIMES
SECOND
EDITION
The extensive
brutalization that Torran Meier suffered at the hands of his mother obviously
fueled his decision to kill her. However, there seemed to be one incident that
burdened him beyond his capacity to endure. It was in March 1985 when Shirley
informed her mother that Torran no longer wanted to live at home and was not
welcome there anymore. She had told Torran that going to live with his
grandparents meant he could never return home. Torran immediately moved in with
his grandparents. The warmth and affection he experienced there made him feel
hopeful that life could be free of the constant harassment and abuse he had
known for most his life. Two weeks later, his hope was shattered when the
police showed up at Shirley’s request. She had sent them there to return her
“runaway” son.
