Pennsylvania man accused of beheading father and posting video of his severed head to stand trial
- Justin D. Mohn, 33, began his murder trial Monday in Bucks County for killing and beheading his 68-year-old father, Michael F. Mohn, in their Levittown home.
- The killing occurred in January 2024 after Mohn allegedly shot his father with a pistol bought the day before and then decapitated him with a knife and machete.
- Michael Mohn's mother discovered his body in the first-floor bathroom, and prosecutors described the homicide as a cold, calculated plan to intimidate federal workers.
- Bucks County DA Jennifer Schorn stated that Mohn intended to enlist members of the Pennsylvania National Guard to take up weapons in opposition to the federal government, and he shared a video online showing his father’s severed head.
- Mohn faces more than a dozen charges including first-degree murder, abuse of a corpse, terrorism-related crimes, and the trial is ongoing with a gag order in place.
