Woman at son's murder trial recounts finding husband's decapitated corpse
'I believe I screamed,' Denice Mohn said through tears as Justin D. Mohn's murder trial began in a suburban Philadelphia courtroom. 'I was screaming out front. I think I dialled 911.'
She testified that she had seen her husband when she had been home for lunch earlier. 'I said goodbye,' she said. 'And I said I'll see you later.'
Justin Mohn, 33, is
accused of killing his father and posting video of his severed head online – and calling for others to help him try to overthrow the US government. He faces charges of murder, abuse of a corpse, terrorism-related crimes and other offences for the January 2024 killing of his father at the Levittown home where the three lived.
Denice Mohn testified that she and her husband had been offering financial support and guidance as Justin Mohn looked for a job. She described her husband's relationship with him as a 'father-son relationship'.
During the first few hours of the trial, prosecutors played 911 audio calls from the night Michael Mohn was killed, with a woman screaming in the background.

‘Inexcusable' failures led to Trump assassination attempt: Senate report
A congressional inquiry into the attempt to assassinate US President Donald Trump at a campaign rally a year ago on Sunday lamented 'inexcusable' failures in the Secret Service's operations and response, and called for more serious disciplinary action. Advertisement On July 13, 2024, a gunman shot the then-Republican presidential candidate during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, grazing his ear. One bystander was killed and two other people in addition to Trump were wounded before a government sniper killed the gunman, 20-year-old Thomas Crooks 'What happened was inexcusable and the consequences imposed for the failures so far do not reflect the severity of the situation,' said the report released by the US Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. The dramatic incident energised Trump's bid to return to the White House, with his campaign using a photo of him bloodied and pumping his fist to woo voters. Advertisement The report did not shed new light on the gunman's motive, which still remains a mystery, but accused the Secret Service of 'a cascade of preventable failures that nearly cost President Trump his life'.
