Father decapitates son and leaves boy's head for mother to see

A US man is accused of decapitating and dismembering his disabled seven-year-old son and leaving the boy's head near the street so the child's mother would see it - a killing that brought seasoned police officers to tears, authorities said.

Jeremiah Lee Wright, 30, of Thibodaux, Louisiana has confessed to killing Jori Lirette, Police Chief Scott Silverii said.

He said Wright was accused of first-degree murder and held in lieu of $US5 million ($4.8 million) bond.

Silverii's spokesman, Detective Ricky Ross, said he does not believe Wright has a lawyer.

Silverii said the motive was unclear, though Wright told police "that he'd gotten to the point where he was tired of taking care" of the boy, who had cerebral palsy and heart problems, needed a feeding tube and was in a wheelchair.

"He said when he put his head out by the side of the road it was so the mother would see it when she came by," Silverii said. He said Wright's only explanation for doing so was "just that he wanted her to feel stupid when she saw the head".

The police chief said Jori's feet and one hand also were cut off, recovered with the body in several white plastic garbage bags.

The slaying was the first in Thibodeaux since 2008.

Silverii said the boy apparently was decapitated over the kitchen sink, which was sent to the Louisiana State Police crime lab along with a box of tools found nearby. An autopsy taking place on Monday in Jefferson Parish would identify when the child died and what was used to decapitate and dismember the boy, Silverii said.

Police had been called to the house last month when the couple had an argument - possibly about money - though neither person brought charges, Ross said. The police chief said Wright had been arrested a few times previously, though he was never charged with violent crimes. Wright served 10 days for theft in 2005.

Lirette, 27, told The Daily Comet of Thibodaux that she and Wright had been together for 10 years, but that she had planned to leave him for some time.

"I didn't get out fast enough," she said.

She said she took her pick-up for repairs on Sunday morning so she could take Jori to an ear doctor on Tuesday in New Orleans, about a 75-minute drive.

She returned to a home blocked with police tape.

When she identified herself, Silverii had Ross, who had been her minister for 12 years and remains a lay pastor, and a captain tell her what happened to her son.

"These are experienced men. They came out of there in tears. Just absolutely in tears," Silverii said.

Shoot him in the head? No, that's to easy of a getaway. Torture him to an inch of death, treat his wounds, and do it all over again.

What the fuck? Why do people think is okay to kill your child because you are "tired" WAAAHH WAAAHHH of taking care of him? Fucking be a man and accept your responsibility, once you bring life into this world is your responsibility to give him your all, because child only has parent in this entire world and no one else. This shit makes me, grown man, want to cry. Why decapitate? To feel stupid? What the fuck is this guy's problem?? Don't waste our tax money taking him through legal system. I hate to say it but I wish this guy was in Saudi Arabia so he could get proper justice

Fuck I am appalled
