Brutal act of violence causes horror in the USA
A cruel video has been circulating on YouTube for hours. Using this footage, the US police are tracking down a 32-year-old who is said to have murdered his father.
US media reported that the 14-minute video was available on YouTube for hours and reached more than 5,000 views before it was removed from the online platform. It is supposed to show the alleged perpetrator holding up a transparent plastic bag that apparently contains a severed head.
The man identified himself by his full name, repeated conspiracy theories from the right-wing spectrum and called his father a traitor because he worked for the government. According to the reports, he also made threats against several US federal agencies and mentioned US President Joe Biden.
The law enforcement agency said the video played a role in the search for the alleged perpetrator. After his arrest, he was charged with, among other things, murder and desecration of corpses.
