Man charged with decapitating 7-year-old special needs boy



From the files that make you sick:


I can imagine the stress of constant care and worry for special needs children but murder?


THIBODAUX, La. - Authorities say a Louisiana man is accused of decapitating his disabled 7-year-old son and leaving the boy's head near the street.

Thibodaux Police Chief Scott Silverii says 30-year-old Jeremiah Lee Wright has confessed to killing Jori Lirette. Wright was booked with first-degree murder and being held Monday in lieu of $5 million bond.
The Houma Courier reports police have accused Wright of using a meat cleaver to decapitate the boy over the kitchen sink. A driver noticed the boy's head by the side of the road and called police; his body was in a nearby trash bag.
Silverii says the motive is unclear, though Wright told police he was tired of taking care of the boy, who, according to the Courier, had cerebral palsy and limited mental capabilities. Jori Lirette was confined to a wheelchair and required a feeding tube.
