A Pennsylvania man is in police custody after it was discovered he murdered his father, beheaded him and presented his decapitated head on social media.
The gruesome occurrence was discovered on January 31, when authorities say a man named Justin Mohn was arrested with a gun at a National Guard base. Mohn is accused of murdering his father and uploading a video on YouTube hours later, during which he claims his father was a traitor, criticized the Joe Biden administration and declared himself the new acting U.S. President under Marshall Law. Mohn also briefly presented the remains of his father’s head in a plastic bag on camera during the rant.
Apparently the victim’s wife, Mohn’s mother, was the one who alerted authorities an emergency dispatchers of her husband’s death after finding him fatally wounded in the bathroom. A machete and a large kitchen knife were reportedly found in the bath tub at the scene of the incident. The victim, Michael Mohn, worked for the US Army Corps of Engineers Philadelphia District, according to CNN.
The video managed to circulate for hours and attract more than 5,000 views before it was taken down. Mohn, 32, is being held without bond on charges of abuse of a corpse and other crimes.
