2nd Brother Convicted In Murder Over Video Game

A second Wichita brother has been found guilty of killing a man during a fight over a video game.

A Sedgwick County jury on Monday found Benjamin Redgate guilty in the beating death of 22-year-old Luke German last October.

The Wichita Eagle reports that witnesses testified that the brothers became angry when German accused them of cheating while playing “Madden NFL 10,” a football video game.

Witnesses said Benjamin Redgate beat German with a metal rod, while his brother, Chris Redgate, hit and kicked him. Twenty-six-year-old Chris Redgate pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and is awaiting sentencing on Oct. 13.

Benjamin Redgate will be sentenced Oct. 21.
