A Pennsylvania man is accused of cutting off his father’s head in a Pennsylvania home and displaying it in a chilling YouTube video on Tuesday, Middletown police said through their chief, Joe Bartorilla.
In the video, which was deleted by the platform, a man is seen holding the severed head of his father, whom he accuses of being a traitor to his country for working for the federal government, FOX 29 reported.
The subject, who identified himself as Justin Mohn, claimed to be the commander of the United States militia network. Subsequently, the suspect launched a series of threats and slogans against the government, aligned with QAnon conspiracy theories. He also called on the public to “unite” to “kill” federal officials “on the spot.”
The video uploaded to YouTube, titled “Mohn’s Militia – Call to Arms for American Patriots,” was posted around 5:30 p.m. and appears to have been recorded in a room where Mohn reads a manifesto written on his computer, reports state. .
In addition to attacking Biden, the subject attacked the LGBTQ community, Black Lives Matter, the “woke far-left mobs.” He also demanded the massacre of public officials, attacked irregular immigrants and immigration agents, claiming that they “betrayed the country.”
After being arrested, Mohn faces charges of first-degree murder, abuse of a corpse and possession of criminal instruments, noted a criminal file from the Middletown Township Police Department, which was published by the New York Post.
Investigators analyzed the video, but details were not reported by Bartorilla, the Buck County Times noted. The police authority also warned the victim’s wife to alert Mohn’s brothers not to watch the video, or avoid having it sent to them.
“We are listening a lot. Obviously, he is well known in the community just from the calls we receive,” added Bartorilla, who said he received several calls from people in the community who knew Mohn’s family.
