Son decapitates dad, posts sick video on YouTube

Police found the beheaded body in a Pennsylvania home after responding to a report of a death just after 7pm on Tuesday, TV station Fox29 reported.

“We got called to the home and officers went in and discovered the father upstairs deceased,” Middletown Police chief Joe Bartorilla said outside the crime scene late Tuesday night, according to the Buck County Courier Times.

The officers found the headless remains of a man in the upstairs bathroom of a home in Middletonw, 160km inland from Philadelphia, police sources told the station.

Investigators then detained a “person of interest” whose vehicle they found two hours away.

The station’s sources believe the person in custody was the victim’s youngest son, who they say shared the gruesome footage to YouTube.

The 14-minute clip reviewed by The Post before it was quickly taken down shows a man lifting up the severed head — which he claims belongs to “a federal employee of over 20 years and my father” — in a bloody plastic bag to show the camera.

“He is now in hell for an eternity as a traitor to his country,” the man, who identifies himself as Justin Mohn, says to the camera before going on an unhinged rant against the government, calling for “militias” across the US to unite and kill federal officials “on sight”.

The video, titled Mohn’s Militia – Call to Arms for American Patriots was posted to YouTube at around 5:30pm and appears to have been recorded in a bedroom where Mohn seems to be reading from a written manifesto on his computer screen.

In the footage, Mohn claims he is the commander of America’s network of militias as he rants against migrants, the Biden administration, the LBGTQ community, Black Lives Matter and “far-left woke mobs,” while calling for the slaughter and public execution of FBI agents, US tax officials, US Marshals, federal judges, border control officers and more “for betraying their country”.

Police chief Bartorilla said that investigators had seen the video, but declined to comment on its content or the nature of the remains found in the home, according to the Courier Times.

The police chief told the victim’s wife to notify Mohn’s siblings “before they see the video or the video is sent to them,” the newspaper reported.

“We’re getting contacted by some people in the community that know us, and know him and his family,” Mr Bartorilla said. “And we’re hearing a lot. Obviously, he’s well known in the community just by the calls we’re getting.”

Mohn faces charges of first-degree murder, abuse of corpse and possessing instruments of crime, according to a Middletown Township Police Department criminal docket viewed by The Post.
