A Connecticut man held in the brutal stabbing death of his mother has been placed on suicide watch after police said he confessed to the murder and showed no remorse.
Prosecutors allege REDACTED, 22, used a fire poker, buck knife and his hands to kill his mother, 45-year-old Margaret Rohner.
REDACTED was arrested Thursday after his father called 911 telling dispatchers “my son killed my ex-wife.” he allegedly cut open his mother’s abdomen and began removing organs, saying he was “looking for a baby.”
When police arrived REDACTED raised his hands and surrendered reportedly telling troopers he had a knife in his pocket and that he had used it to kill his mother, the New Haven Register reported.
The suspect allegedly told police he had begun planning to kill his mother on Thursday morning when he woke up. The New Haven Register reports Rankin told police he first tried to strangle her with his bare hands, and then stabbed her in the neck with a fire poker and buck knife.
REDACTED allegedly cut open his mother’s abdomen and began removing organs because “I wanted to see if there was a baby in her stomach.”
WTF? So brutal, but no guns used, so not a “Gun Death”. This is a prime example of the person, not the tool being the danger. Also those who constantly spout about “Gun Death” seem to think that making so mentally ill people can’t buy guns will make us safer. If they’re walking around, and they’re THIS dangerous, WE ARE NOT SAFE!
