Verdict Delivered In Bucks County Beheading Trial

BUCKS COUNTY, PA — A Levittown man was found guilty Friday of killing and beheading his father in their home and then posting a gruesome YouTube video about it.

Justin Mohn, 32, of Middletown Township, was charged with killing his father Michael F. Mohn in January 2024 and posting a disturbing YouTube video holding his father’s decapitated head and calling for violent attacks against members of the federal government.

After the verdict that was delivered Friday by Bucks County Judge Stephen Corr, Mohn was sentenced to spend the rest of his life in prison.

Mohn's trial began in the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas on Monday. Mohn's mother and Mohn himself testified during the trial.

Mohn, of the 100 block of Upper Orchard Drive, was arrested hours after the Jan. 30, 2024, killing of his father and charged with first-degree murder, abuse of a corpse, and possession of an instrument of crime.

Authorities later filed three counts of terrorism charges against him.

Police had received information about a 14-minute video posted to YouTube, which showed Mohn picking up the decapitated head of his father, identifying him by name and as his father.

In the video, Mohn ordered all militia and patriots across the United States to kill all federal employees.

Hours after the murder, investigators tracked Mohn’s cellphone to the National Guard Training Center in Fort Indiantown Gap, Lebanon County. There, he climbed a barbed wire fence and entered a secure military installation.

The investigation revealed that Mohn went to Fort Indiantown Gap to mobilize the National Guard to raise arms against the federal government.
