Man charged with soliciting murder on Internet:

Plot is too strong a word here. It was more like a murder request.

Anyway, 24-year-old Elijah Sakpeidah of Cookeville, Tennessee is a restaurant worker from Cookeville, TN. He's been charged with attempted solicitation to commit first degree murder after allegedly posting something on his MySpace asking someone to kill an 18-year-old co-worker of his.

The post on his MySpace allegedly said "with a request to kill for the amount of $2,000 or more, based on the way she is killed."

Sakpeidah lives with his fiancé and daughter and when police stormed his house to arrest him he allegedly held a small child in front of him.

So not only did this coward want someone to kill for him but he used a child, possibly his own, as a human shield.
