Woman at son’s murder trial recounts finding husband’s decapitated corpse
Justin Mohn is accused of killing his father, posting video of his severed head online and calling for help to overthrow the US government
The mother of a Pennsylvania man accused of shooting and beheading his father described from the witness box on Monday that she found Michael Mohn’s body in a first-floor bathroom.
“I believe I screamed,” Denice Mohn said through tears as Justin Mohn’s murder trial began in a suburban Philadelphia courtroom. “I was screaming out front. I think I dialled 911.”
She testified that she had seen her husband when she had been home for lunch earlier. “I said goodbye,” she said. “And I said I’ll see you later.”
Denice Mohn testified that she and her husband had been offering financial support and guidance as Justin Mohn looked for a job. She described her husband’s relationship with him as a “father-son relationship”.
