William Skiratko Killed His Mom

Glen Burnie, Maryland A young woman called police after receiving a chilling letter from 17-year-old William Skiratko. The note said that he was planning to kill his mother and himself. Acting on that tip, police arrived at the apartment Tuesday afternoon and found the teen playing a video game…‘It’s too late for my mom,’ he told officers. Cold-hearted little fucker….

Officers found Elizabeth Skiratko, a 45-year-old mother of two, dead in her bedroom. She had been stabbed numerous times and the body had lain there since her murder on Monday. Although William confessed to killing his mother, the motive behind the murder hasn’t been revealed. According to neighbors, William had been staying out late recently and arguing with his mother about going to school.

Police arrested the teen on Tuesday on first-degree murder charges–he will be charged as an adult.

    Man! Cold-hearted is correct! And just sitting there playing a video game like nothing is wrong. I bet he has a history of violence and mental problems. This gave me chills.

    Cold hearted, but look at his eyes.  They are mesmerizing…

    He’s gonna be one of those killers that gets fan mail from the idiot women on the outside.

    He looks like a psycho. What do you do when you raise a murderous crazy kid? And you can just tell by looking at him.

    You know he does look like a WACKO, but how do we know what a WACKO looks like or a psycho looks like, the ones without the patches or messed up hair are the ones we tend to be scared and cross the street.  Wander why he did not run away or never return home, what good came out of this, now he, which i don’t care if he chokes on his own spit, the poor mom is dead and he will see prison for the remainder of his life probably with no chance of parole, which is good, get him off the streets but NOW and I am unsure if their are other children, they have no mom now, NICE JOB KID, REAL NICE JOB, I would just ask why he just did not seek help or kill himself and leave his mom alone, may he rot in hell

    This is coming from the mother of the girl that received the note from Wil. You people? have NO idea what you are talking about! This kid was beaten by both of his parents for his entire life. Yes social services were called. As usual, they did nothing!

    Old enough to run though, at 17 years old, instead of killing!!
    Why didn’t you take him in, if you believed him? Did he ever have any bruises or marks to prove the abuse, supposedly dealt from his mothers hand? I hope you’re not trying to say killing his mother was justified, are you?? Where’s his father and sibling? I am truly interested to hear what the sibling has to say…..

    His eyes look sociopathic, unemotional and hard…..

    God rest your soul, Elizabeth Skiratko!

    Please elaborate. Why did he not leave the home? Was there a male 9father figure) present in the home?

  18. mommasgirl
    1:35 pm on April 23rd, 2009

    He did leave home but was brought back. There was a father who did the same thing to him and his brother. The father did not live there. He was an everyother weekend dad. There are circumtances that you all don’t know so to pass judgement is wrong.

    I understand that you feel for him. However, what MadeaBecBec said did not merit for you to tell her to fuck off. You were the one that came here and said what you said. Now that questions are being asked, you only have fuck you to respond with? Nice…Go ahead and cuss me out if you’d like…wouldn’t ruffle my feathers one bit.

    Oh and before you start telling me that I have no idea…Allow me to tell you that I was beaten, starved, and abused my entire childhood by my own mother and several of her “boyfriends”…The bitch is still walking…I knew better than to turn around and take her life and this was in the 80’s!

    Madea asked some legit questions and all you had to say back was fuck you? Wow, what a knowledgeable person you must be – and a GREAT mom, at that. Well, fuck you too mommasgirl and double fuck you for defending a murderer. There are plenty of alternatives to taking a life. I hope this little shit rots!

    mommasgirl response gives me one answer to the question about proof, that is, there is none, no proof of abuse for ‘Wil” Skiratko to claim…

    I truly admire you for being not only a survivor, but also for being a strong and successful person despite the torture! I am sincerely sorry for your sufferage and struggle, honestly!!
    As much as we want to kill someone for hurting us, it’s never the right decision if you are able bodied enough to walk (run) away to somewhere safe!!
    Had William Skiratko’s mugshot shown signs of abuse (or if the Investigators stated that there was somewhere on his body) then I might’ve felt differently about mommasgirl’s comments!! But, stabbing your mother to death is just vicious and cruel and I have a strong suspicion that drugs have a part in this……
    Yes mommasgirl, I have children AND grandchildren!!
    Why don’t you enlighten us on ”the circumstances” instead of  spouting something that you hoped would shock us !!

    Enlighten us as to the “circumstances” of which you speak, or move the fuck on. You can’t justify without actually providing justification. All we know is that a mother is dead at the hands of her apparently unsympathetic teenaged son. If there’s more to the story, feel free to share.

    What the fuck is wrong with you people?! You didn’t even know the kid! I did! I went to school with him and was friends with him. You have NO right to judge this kid. He was abused NUMEROUS times by BOTH his mom and dad. If you were beaten numerous times with a stick, would you be happy with your parents? No right to judge. You people are absolutely rediculous.

    I was one of those kids abused from age 3 until I was a teenager……Let me answer your question. NO, I am not happy with them, but they are ALIVE. Killing them was never an option for me, and to this day it has never crossed my mind either.

    What infuriates me about this is that although it seems that several people had knowledge of this “abuse”, no one saw it necessary to do anything? Defending him after the fact, instead of seeking assistance before this happened, helps him in which way????

    Social Services went to his house several times. Didn’t do shit about it.  Yes, he did make a wrong decision. I under stand that. But people who didn’t know him really have no right to judge him. You didn’t know him.

    Sounds like a spoiled brat to me.  Ever think he needed some discipline and got it.  What about the school and staying out late?  What about the games he was playing when arrested?  Yes, I think we know enough about this future convict.  Jury predicts 99 years.

    Let me give you some advice; If you really think your buddy ‘Wil” is justified in murdering his parent, PLEASE, do not be character witnesses for him, if what you have posted here is any indication of what you might say, he’ll get the DP for sure!!

    Did you offer him shelter? Go to the PoPo? If it was that horrific, then the Police would’ve taken it seriously enough to get him to a safe haven! Did you go to the counselor at school?  That’s why they are there, ya know?

    No, we won’t know how you feel, because we are largely rational people. If anyone I know “breaks down an kills someone”, I’m going to be disappointed in them, not attacking perfect strangers for having an opinion on a murder case.

    Years of abuse STILL doesn’t justify murder. It’s tragic, certainly. But, then again, the fact that this abuse was so widely known about and no one took him in is also tragic.

    Out of curiosity, what kind of abuse are we talking, here?
