Zachary Davis-The sledgehammer killer. In the classroom, there are different kinds of students, and there is one weirdo student in the class. 

Zachary was one of the students who was considered to be the weirdo in the class. But you probably won’t have heard about a weirdo student killing his own mother with a sledgehammer and then trying to set his home on fire. 

However, Zachary was the one who had murdered his mother with a sledgehammer, and then he tried to burn the house. 

A poster on Reddit has shared in which a person claims that he went to school with Zachary, popularly known as the sledgehammer killer, and a guest named, Dr. Phil.

A person shared an AMA post, from the username u/innocentacquaintance, titled, “I went to school and had a class with Zachary Davis, the 17 years old recently convicted of killing his mother in her sleep with a sledgehammer, and shared some chilling insights about his time as the murderous teen’s closest pal.” 

Later, he elaborates that he was not really friends with Zachary. He said that there were many students at Station Camp High School in Tennessee, but he would bump into Zachary as their mothers were friends. 

User innocentacquaintance wrote in a post, “Zach and I were both freshmen together in algebra one class, I remember him quite well.” 

He added, “We were not friends, but I believe I was one of the people who interacted the most with him. His(Zachary) mother and my mother were both friends and knew each other well.“

Zachary Davis Kills His Mother

It was reported that Zachary was the age of 15 when he killed his mother, Melanie, 45. Her date of death was known to be August 10, 2012. 

Melanie’s medical report showed that she was killed by a sledgehammer that hit her head twelve times. The police said that Zachary tried to destroy all the evidence, and he had hoped to kill his brother, Josh when he set his family on fire. 

Later, Zachary admitted that he had killed his mother. But, he claimed that his brother had r*ped him and their mother failed to stop him. 

However, when a discussion was performed with his classmates, they said that it was unlikely that Zach would tell the truth that he was s*xually abused.

His classmate wrote in his statement that Josh might be mean to him, but he could not believe that Josh would r*pe him. He concluded that Zach might be claiming a false statement.

What Did Zachary’s Classmate Say About Him

During Zach’s court trial, his classmates said that he wouldn’t talk much. Zach admitted that he would whisper in class. It looked as if he was trying to cover his real voice. 

His classmates also said that he would be seen playing games on his phone the whole day. They added that he was hardly seen to ever smile in the school. 

A student said, “He was/is 100% mentally ill nothing about him changed in a creepy way, he always walked the same, talked(whispered) the same, and sat the same.”
