On January 30, Justin Mohn, a 33-year-old Pennsylvania man, was arrested after murdering and decapitating his father, Michael Mohn, and showing off his head in a gruesome, 14-minute-long YouTube video that has since been taken down.

Denice Mohn, Michael’s wife and Justin’s mother, came home to find her husband’s beheaded body with “a large amount of blood around him,” according to court documents. 

This week, Justin appeared at a court hearing on charges of first-degree murder, abuse of a corpse and possessing an instrument of crime with intent in the killing. He wore a grim smirk in his police mugshot. 

In the court papers, Middletown Township police and Bucks County detectives reported, “Officers also located the deceased male’s head inside of a plastic bag which was inside of a cooking pot in a first-floor bedroom next to the bathroom.”

The machete that was used in the killing was found by detectives, along with different kitchen knives, and a pair of rubber gloves saturated in the victim’s blood. 

In the chilling YouTube video posted by Justin, he reads from a written manifesto on his screen titled, “Mohn’s Militia – Call to Arms for American Patriots.”

Mohn disturbingly lifts his father’s head which is wrapped in plastic, while stating it belonged to “a federal employee of over 20 years and my father.”

He called his father a “traitor to his country” and said he would be in “hell for an eternity.” Some of his rantings align closely with far-right QAnon theories.

Mohn preached for “militias” across the U.S. to unite and kill federal officials “on sight.”

Some QAnon theories call for the nationwide execution of FBI agents, IRS employees, U.S. Marshals, federal judges, border control officers and all other government employees due to “betraying” their country. 

Justin had filed three lawsuits against the federal government over his student loan debts, claiming negligence and fraud over the government “pushing” him to take out loans for his bachelor’s degree earned from Penn State.

He also is a self-published writer, including Poems I Wrote While Stoned and The Second Messiah: King of Earth. Along with his writing, he also had four albums on the streaming platform Spotify before they were recently removed.
