Justin Mohn's family calls the brutal murder 'unbelievable' 

Justin was arrested and charged with first-degree murder hours after beheading his father and then holding his decapitated head up in a YouTube video shared online where he called him a traitor and blasted the federal government

Justin's paternal aunt said, "It's unbelievable. It's very fresh. We can't believe it. I can't even think what his [Michael's] wife is going through. No one can believe it."

Michael Mohn was a geoenvironmental engineer in the Philadelphia region with the Army Corps of Engineers. For working for the federal government for twenty years, Justin Mohn referred to his father as a traitor to the nation.

The Corps released a statement saying, '"We are deeply saddened to learn of the tragic death of our teammate Michael Mohn. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Mohn family and we are focused on supporting our grieving employees at this time". 

According to a criminal complaint obtained by the portal police were called to the scene after the alleged killer's horrified mother, Denice, called 911 to report finding her husband's headless corpse in a bathroom at their home with a large amount of blood around him. 

The man's head was found by police inside a plastic bag that had been placed in a cooking pot in the bedroom next to the bathroom, where they also found a machete and a huge kitchen knife in the bathtub. Rubber gloves stained with blood were also found by detectives in a first-floor bedroom. She (Michael's wife)  told the authorities that she and her husband were the only people at the house when she left at 2:00 p.m. that day.

Justin Mohn showed signs of 'paranoia' in the past

Earlier on Wednesday, January 31 a former college roommate of Mohn at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs, who lived with him for two years, told Daily Mail that the self-proclaimed "messiah" showed signs of paranoia as early as 2016. 

He said, "I don't really know how I could have heard about it and not be surprised,' he said. He added, ''It's not hard to see how he got to the stage of where he was in that video from when I knew him."

His former roommate went on to say that the alleged killer had always had a "deeply paranoid side" regardless of who was in the White House.

The roommate also claimed Mohn was prone to violent outbursts, citing and incident, "I came back to find it completely trashed, he had punched holes in the walls, broke up the mirror,' he said.

"When I confronted him about it, he basically said that he blacked out didn't remember doing any of it and that he was really mad. He was definitely prone to outbursts, and like, you know, fits of rage and that sort of thing. He would say that he had extreme PTSD but not go into detail about it or what caused it."
