A California man was arrested for allegedly beheading his 1-year-old son with a knife. Authorities said that he assaulted his wife and mother-in-law, and after they left home, he beheaded his son.
A California man was arrested for allegedly beheading his 1-year-old son, Northern California officials stated. The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office informed in a statement on Friday that deputies were told in an early morning family disturbance call that a woman outside a home alleged that her husband Andrey Demskiy, 28, assaulted her and her mother.
Upon reaching the northern Sacramento County residence, Deputies tried to contact Demskiy who refused to answer the door. They then got to know that a 1-year-old boy was inside the house and there were chances of him being injured. Following the information, deputies forced entry and tried to detain Demskiy, who resisted, authorities said, as per LA Times.
They recovered a “severed child’s head” in the bedroom while Demskiy was being taken into custody, news agency AP reported.
According to detectives, Demskiy beheaded his son with a knife after his wife and mother-in-law left the house. It was informed that the suspect is not eligible for bail and would be appearing in court on Tuesday.
