text: A man strangled his friend to death in a rage after the friend admitted that he had been molesting young girls and thought 'one of them was starting to like it,' a jury heard this week. Robert Mccombs told a court in Grand Rapids, Michigan on Wednesday that Steven Carl Day admitted to him and his roommate Roger Musick that he molested a young relative and that he was molesting other young girls. 'Day said he thought one of the girls was starting to like it,' Mccombs testified. Witnessed the confession: Robert Mccombs (left) said that when Steven Carl Day admitted to him and his roommate Roger Musick (right) that he was a child molester, Musick strangled him to death . Shocking revelation: Steven Carl Day was allegedly murdered on December 18, 2013 after he told two friends that he molested young girls and that he thought, 'one of them was starting to like it' Day met up with Musick and Mccombs at a bar on December 18 to have drinks for Mccombs' birthday and that's where the shocking confession allegedly took place. 'My jaw just dropped that he would just admit it, blurt it out like that. I looked over at Roger and he was just as shocked as I was.' Musick, 39, mouthed the words 'I want to kill him,' Mccombs told the court. Mccombs told the court that the next thing he knew, Mccombs was attacking Day. Mccombs describes seeing Musick holding Day in a choke hold on the floor. 'When I saw him in the choke-hold, his arms were down, his eyes were bulging. He wasn't moving,' Mccombs told the court. The Detroit Free Press reports that the roommates put Day's dead body into the back of Mccombs' van and headed north where they found a ridge to drop the body. Addiction: After the murder in 2013, friends of Day said he was an Army veteran who had struggled in recent years while battling an alcohol addiction . Mccombs said that the two had breakfast before parting ways. Musick went to work and Mccombs went to their home to get rid of Day's belongings. He claims that he put Day's backpack and coat in a trash can at a nearby shopping center and then rode Day's bike to an abandoned car wash near the home. When detectives found Day's hat and cell phone in Mccomb's van, both he and Musick were charged with murder. Days later the charges were dropped but they were both later arrested and charged with tampering with evidence. Open container: This mug shot of Steven Carl Day, who described by friends as an alcoholic, was taken in 2011 after he was charged with consuming alcohol in public . Mccomb's was released from jail in Early March after more than a year behind bars for the 'tampering with evidence' charge. Musick was also about to be released but police later found there was enough evidence to charge him with Day's murder. Musick was returned to the Kent County Jail without bond. Kent County Sheriff's Detective Martin Albert said he found evidence at Day's home after the 2013 murder that suggested he he had admitted to molesting a five-year-old relative, 35 years ago. At the time of his death, Day had never been charged or prosecuted for any molestation crime. Though, Day was taking part in the Salvation Army's 12-step 'Turning Point' program during which Day confessed in a letter to the molestation. The program is intended to help participants confront their demons, particularly with addictions. Detective Albert testified after the murder that Day's sister was helping with the murder investigation and  told him her brother had admitted the molestation of a five-year-old relative about 35 years ago. A detective who analyzed the cell phones of both Mr Musick and Mr McCombs told Michigan's M LIve text messages had been sent between the two the day the body was found. McCombs allegedly wrote: 'You OK? The world is a better place today and one little girl can sleep tonight because her monster is gone.' Musick allegedly replied: 'True'.
