A 28-year old father, Andrey Demskiy has allegedly beheaded his one year old son, Micha, with ‘ a knife’ and injured his wife and mother-in-law.
A resident of California, United States, Demsky was arrested after neighbours placed a call to 911 to report about a ‘family disturbance.’ at 4;15am on December 20.
Police patrol from the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office, SCSO, responded to the call and met Demsky’s wife and mother-in-law outside the house who told them they had been attacked and assaulted by Andrey and that a child was inside with him. They also told the police that they believed Demsky would have assaulted the child as at the time the police arrived.
Police approached the entrance and asked Demskiy to open the door and surrender peacefully but he refused.
Having refused to cooperate with the police, the door was forced open and Demsky physically attacked the police while trying to resist arrest.
While searching the house, police found the severed head of the child in one of the bedrooms.
According to the Sheriff’s Child Abuse Bureau Detectives, as well as crime scene investigators, who arrived at the scene, it was discovered Demskiy used a knife to “behead and murder” the one-year-old child.
Demsky was arrested and booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail, where he remains in custody without bail.
He was charged with ‘assault by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury, corporal injury to a spouse or cohabitant and murder’ and will appear in court today, December 24.
A $25,000 GoFundMe campaign was launched by friends of the family to support the boy’s mother, Angelina, however, over $57,000 have been donated which exceeded the initial target.
Following Demskiy’s arrest, his mother-in-law was “transported to the hospital by ambulance for her injuries, which were not life-threatening.
