The son who killed his mother over Avril Lavigne tickets

In 2012, a 39-year-old suburban Chicago man was sentenced to 40 years in prison for the brutal 2008 murder of his mother, which was instigated by her refusal to buy him tickets to an Avril Lavigne concert.

Judge Kathryn Creswell sentenced Robert Lyons of Carol Stream, IL for the murder of Linda Bolek, then 61, after getting into an argument at the condominium they shared.

Lyons flew into a rage and attacked his mother after she refused to call a friend to obtain skybox tickets for him to the upcoming concert. The argument ended when Lyons picked up a cognac bottle and struck Bolek two times over the head. He then used two knives to stab her in the back nine times as she lay on the floor, breaking part of one knife off in her body, and bending the other.

After stabbing his mother, Lyons poured chemicals over her body including Tile-X, Drain-O and Raid insecticide. He then left the scene and was apprehended several hours later at a Hooters restaurant.
