Texas teen sentenced to 23-years for battering 5-year-old boy to death with bowling ball

A Texas teenager who battered a 5-year-old to death with a bowling ball 'like a football player spiking a football' has been sentenced to 23-years behind bars today. Sida Osman was horrifically beaten round the head by the unidentified teen - who was 13 at the time of the attack in June - after going for a bike ride and running into the older boy. Angry at the younger boys constant pleas to help him go to the store, the teen picked up a 14-pound bowling ball and threw it at Sida's head, knocking him to the ground, then straddled him and pounded the ball onto the 5-year-old's head till he crushed his skull.

Eighteen hours after the murder, which occurred in the backyard of a vacant house in Fort Worth, the teen went to get three friends and showed them the younger boys dead body. Shocked, they demanded he call an ambulance, but the teenager stopped them and then in a callous act he denied knowing where Sida was when the boy's frantic mother asked him later on the street if he had seen her missing boy.
