Some People Don't Need Kids Period: Louisiana Man Arrestd For Decapitating His 7-Year-Old Disabled Son!
"A man in the state of Louisiana is accused of
bludgeoning, decapitating and dismembering his
disabled 7-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 Monday.
Jeremiah Lee Wright, 30, waived his right to an
attorney and confessed to killing Jori Lirette
within 30 minutes of being brought to the police
station Sunday, Police Chief Scott Silverii said.
He said Wright was booked with first-degree murder
and held in lieu of $5 million bond.
He was in isolation, Silverii said during a Monday
afternoon news conference. The department
spokesman, Detective Ricky Ross, said he does not
believe Wright has an attorney.
Flowers, balloons and stuffed animals were left
Monday outside the house where Jori died.
"He was maybe the best thing that ever happened to
me," his mother, Jesslyn Lirette, said at the news
conference.
A preliminary autopsy found the boy was
bludgeoned, decapitated and dismembered, Silverii
said. Whatever hit him caused "excessive bleeding
in the head," he said.
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, had limited speech and was in a
wheelchair." - 7 News
