CRAZED SON BOILED MUM & DAD IN ACID

Son dissolved parents in acid, a court hears

- By JUSTIN DUNN news@sundayspor­t.co.uk

A LAZY son murdered and dismembere­d his parents before cooking up a “diabolical stew of their remains” and leaving his mum’s head in a saucepan, a court heard.

Joel Guy Jr allegedly knifed his dad Joel Sr, 66, and mum Lisa, 55, to death at Thanksgivi­ng 2016, before chopping them up and trying to boil and dissolve them in acid.

At his trial in Knoxville, Tennesee, prosecutor Leslie Nassos said: “The killer put Lisa’s body parts in one container and Joel Sr’s in another, then covered them with a corrosive substance, and left them there to liquify into a diabolical stew of human remains.”

Ms Nassios gave grim details of how Guy Jr, 32, allegedly sliced his parents apart, separating their limbs from their bodies, and of how he had “broken off” his mum’s head from her spine before sticking most of their remains in blue plastic containers which he then filled with acid.

Ms Nassios said: “He got out a stockpot, placed her head in the pot, filled it with liquid, carried it over to the stove, covered it, turned on the stove, and left it there to cook. This was a monstrous crime.”

It is claimed Guy Jr slaughtere­d his parents after they confronted him over his never-ending studies and told him they were withdrawin­g financial support.

The suspected killer is said to have planned to get his hands on a £400k life insurance policy, with one of his siblings confirming he’d been on the verge of having his allowance cut-off.

A journal entry shared with the court read: “Get multiple killing knives … get sledgehamm­er… crush bones… bring blender and food grinder … grind meat.”

Guy Jr is said to have confessed to the killings after his arrest but has since denied murder.

The trial continues.
