A 32-year-old man from Pennsylvania has been accused of decapitating his father and making threats against federal officials in a video posted online following the horrific murder. The police received reports of a deceased man in his 60s at a home in Middletown Township on Tuesday night. The victim, identified as Michael Mohn, was discovered dead in a bathroom by his wife. The police found a machete and a large kitchen knife at the scene of the crime, indicating that the victim had been decapitated.
The prime suspect in the homicide, Justin Mohn, who is the victim’s son and lived in the same home, reportedly fled in his father’s vehicle. He was apprehended several hours later, approximately 100 miles away from the crime scene. Justin Mohn has been charged with first-degree murder, abuse of a corpse, and possession of a criminal weapon. He has been denied bail, and a preliminary hearing is set for February 8. It is currently unknown whether he has legal representation.
Police are actively investigating a social media post that may be connected to the case. In the video, posted on YouTube and later removed, Justin Mohn can be seen wearing gloves found at the crime scene while declaring that his father is now in eternal damnation. He refers to the federal government as the enemy and makes threatening statements against federal agents, judges, and other federal employees. The suspect also claims that President Joe Biden is no longer in power and asserts that he is the acting president.
The FBI has confirmed that it is aware of the incident and is assisting with the investigation. Meanwhile, the Middletown Township Police Department assures the community that there is no immediate threat. They have offered their condolences to the victim’s family and friends and expressed their commitment to ensuring that the accused is held accountable for these atrocious crimes.
