The girl entered his room to say she was hungry, McClellan said.
He tried to shoo her out of the room. But Luna instead plopped down on the floor, he said. McClellan pushed her a little, nudging her toward the door, but Luna resisted.
"It tipped me over the edge," McClellan said. "She gave me more attitude."
He grabbed the kindergartner by the shoulder and pulled her onto the floor of his bedroom. Then he sat atop her torso and used a pocket knife to stab her in the chest numerous times.
"What'd she do when you stabbed her," the detective asked.
"She cried, and she coughed," McClellan responded. "Not very long."
McClellan later covered Luna's body with blankets and set them on fire, prosecutors said, in an attempt to destroy the evidence of his crime.
