Man Admits to Beheading Father, Displaying Corpse on Livestream

A Bucks County man has been found guilty of beheading his father, and displaying his remains on a livestream.

Justin Mohn, 33 of the Levittown, made national headlines last year for displaying his father’s severed head in a YouTube video.

Mohn was convicted of murder and related crimes Friday by a Bucks County judge, and was sentenced to two consecutive life sentences in prison.

Jennifer Schorn, the Bucks County district attorney, said during a news conference on Friday, that it was unfathomable that Mr. Mohn could take his father’s life in the home where he and his siblings were raised and loved by their parents.

“But then to know that he took time to sever his father’s head so that he could then create a video and share that video with countless people for one purpose,” she said, “to make sure that that video was a clear political statement that he hoped would incite violence and inflict terror to many many individuals.”

Mr. Mohn offered an apology to his family, but stood firm in his actions.

“I don’t feel guilty for what I did,” he said, “but I am sorry my family went through what they did because of the federal government’s actions and my reaction to it.”

Mr. Mohn’s mother, Denice, said that she would never fully recover from the “traumatizing and shocking” way her husband had died and the knowledge that her son had been responsible.

“I am tortured with the knowledge of what Justin was capable of deliberately doing without remorse to his father, the man who loved him and helped him every way he could over the years and wanted only the best in life for him,” Ms. Mohn said. “I will carry the vision of my husband’s body crumbled and discarded on the bathroom floor that Justin left me to find until the day I die.”

According to sources, YouTube confirmed that it had taken down the video because it violated the company’s graphic violence policy. It also terminated Mr. Mohn’s channel for violating its violent extremism policies..

YouTube also confirmed that the company was monitoring the site for any re-uploads of the video to prevent it from resurfacing.
