PRESS CONFERENCE: Pennsylvania man charged with beheading father

(WPHL/WHTM) — Officials in Bucks County will address the media on Friday after a man was arrested at Fort Indiantown Gap and charged with beheading his father and posting a video on YouTube.

Justin Mohn, 32, has been charged with murder and abuse of a corpse, among other charges, after police say he allegedly decapitated his father and then posted the brutal act on YouTube.

The press conference is scheduled to begin from Doylestown at 11:30 a.m.

According to police, officers responded to the 100 block of Upper Orchard Drive at around 7 p.m. on Tuesday after the victim’s wife called 911 to report the discovery of her husband Michael’s bloody and decapitated body found inside the upstairs bathroom of their family home.

When officers arrived, they located the victim, reportedly in his 60s, and pronounced him dead. Police say in a criminal complaint that a machete and a large kitchen knife were found at the scene and the victim’s head was in a plastic bag inside a cooking pot.

Before fleeing, police say Mohn fled the scene and posted a disturbing video online depicting the brutal murder of his father, said police. The video was reportedly viewed at least 5,000 times before it was taken down.

Parts of the more than 14 minute video titled “Mohn’s Militia – Call to Arms for American patriots” are still surfacing online where Mohn identifies himself and appears to show off his father’s decapitated head to the camera saying “he is now in hell for eternity.”

Mohn was later arrested at Fort Indiantown Gap in Lebanon County more than 100 miles from the Bucks County crime scene.

The Pennsylvania Department of Military Affairs tells abc27 that Mohn’s phone pinged in the vicinity of the Indiantown Gap Cemetery around 9 p.m. Police from the base searched the area and two area businesses were asked to go on lockdown.

Mohn’s abandoned vehicle was found near a front gate and the cell phone continued to ping inside the base. Officials say Mohn was armed with a pistol and climbed over a fence into the base before being taken into custody.
