Cho Seung-Hui, the student that planned and executed the most deadly massacre in American history penned some very violent plays. Lucinda Roy, a co-director of the creative writing program at Virginia Tech, taught Cho in a poetry class in fall of 2005 and later worked with him one-on-one after she became concerned about his behavior and themes in his writings, according to ABC.

Cho Seung-Hui: Violent Play Penned by Virginia Tech Shooter

The Smoking Gun reports that the college student responsible for yesterday's Virginia Tech slaughter was referred last year to counseling after professors became concerned about the violent nature of his writings.

The website has the play and notes that it is evidenced in the one-act play obtained by TSG. The play by the 23-year old English major, was submitted last year as part of a short story writing class.

It was entitled "Richard McBeef," and Cho's bizarre play features a 13-year-old boy who accuses his stepfather of pedophilia and murdering his father. A copy of the killer's play can be found below. The teenager talks of killing the older man and, at one point, the child's mother brandishes a chain saw at the stepfather. The play ends with the man striking the child with "a deadly blow."
