A 27-year-old man in Minnesota was arrested this week for allegedly admitting to killing his 7-year-old brother, strangling the little boy before allegedly making several 911 calls and admitting that he did something “for the greater good.”
Dalal Bayle Idd was taken into custody on Wednesday and charged with one count of second-degree murder in the slaying of his younger brother, Abdullahi Adod Gelle, court documents reviewed by Law&Crime show.
According to a probable cause affidavit submitted by the Eden Prarie Police Department, emergency dispatchers received a “series” of bizarre phone calls from an individual — later identified as Idd — in which he told the operator, “I just did something,” but that he “didn’t know what he just did.” He allegedly continued, initially saying “that he didn’t want to say if he harmed someone,” but later admitted that “he hurt someone else” and that his actions were “for the greater good.”
“God told me to do something to prove that I’m not God,” Idd told the dispatcher, the affidavit said.
