We’ll have to see how the facts unfold, but willing to bet this falls into familiar pattern here, an oft-repeated story that never seems to be adequately addressed. Mentally ill, psychotic break, kills mother with whom he lives.
Via Fox News:
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 Robert Owen Rankin, 22, used a fire poker, buck knife and his hands to kill his mother, 45-year-old Margaret Rohner.
Rankin was arrested Thursday after his father called 911 telling dispatchers “my son killed my ex-wife.” Rank allegedly cut open his mother’s abdomen and began removing organs, saying he was “looking for a baby.”
When police arrived Rankin 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.
