New Delhi: In a distressing incident, a man from California allegedly chopped off heads of his parents, according to media reports. Reports suggested that when cops arrived at the scene, he sang “I love you” after being shot five times by them.
The man, identified as Joseph Brandon Gerdvil, allegedly decapitated his parents in a gruesome double homicide. Gerdvil is facing two charges of homicide for the murder of his mother, Antoinette (79) and father, Ronald (77).
Reports claimed that on July 9, the 41-year-old reportedly killed his parents at their home in a mobile home community in San Juan Capistrano in California.
Thereafter, he sent graphic images of their mutilated bodies to his cousin, who immediately called the authorities, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Department.
When cops arrived at the crime spot, they found the bodies of the elderly couple, along with their chihuahua, inside the mobile home. As per reports, one of the victim’s heads had been placed on a counter.
Meanwhile Gerdvil was found driving a golf cart on a bike path, where he attacked a police vehicle with a shovel.
After a lot of efforts, the cops managed to corner Gerdvil, who, according to body camera footage, was seen clad in blood-soaked clothing and held a metal water metre.
After ignoring the repeated orders to drop the weapon, Gerdvil charged towards the police team, prompting the one of the officers to fire five shots at him.
As officers moved in to take hold of him and handcuff him, Gerdvil said, “I love you,” “I’m sorry you’re going to have to die,” and “Just finish me off… Put one in my head, please. I beg of you.”
The accused then began belting out love songs, including a rendition of Tina Turner’s 1984 hit ‘What’s Love Got to Do with It’ and Stevie Wonder’s ‘I Just Called to say I Love You’, as police tended to his wounds.
Later, he was taken to a local hospital in a serious but stable condition and was booked on two counts of homicide. If convicted, he faces life in prison without the possibility of parole.
