A US man has allegedly murdered two people who "de-friended" his daughter on Facebook, leaving their baby daughter orphaned.

Marvin Potter Jr is alleged to have killed Billy Payne Jr and girlfriend Billie Jean Hayworth in Mountain City, Tennessee, after they de-friended his daughter on the social networking site.

Huffington Post US reporter Michael McLaughlin was told by Johnson County Sheriff Mike Reece: "If you deleted her, they [Potter and her parents] started harassing you. If you ran into them in the grocery store, you had an altercation with them. It was an ongoing thing with these people."
