CRAZED SON KEPT HIS DAD’S HEAD IN FREEZER
Relative called cops after opening door for choc ice
A MAN faces murder charges after cops found his father’s severed head on a dinner plate in a freezer at his home.
Parts of his dismembered body were also discovered all over the house.
Donald Meshey Jr., 32, allegedly stabbed father Donald Meshey, 67, to death before cutting up the body.
After being arrested, police say Meshey Jr. told them he had found a ‘doll’ which looked and sounded like his father, and attacked it with a knife.
Police went to Meshey Jr.’s small apartment near central Lancaster in Pennsylvania after a phone call from a female relative.
She told cops she had opened the freezer door to help herself to a choc ice and found the head.
She alleged that Meshey Jr. informed her he had found a ‘cadaver’ in a bedroom and that there was a severed head in his freezer.
Stabbing
Police say Meshey Jr. took an officer into his kitchen, removed the head from the freezer and presented it to the officer on a white dinner plate.
The officer then called for back-up.
Meshey Jr. was taken to the Lancaster City Police Station, where officers say he told detectives he had found a ‘doll’ that ‘looked and sounded like his father’ in his father’s bedroom.
Cops say he admitted to then stabbing the ‘doll’ for ‘ two to three minutes’ with an eightor nine-inch knife, before dismembering the body with a hand saw.
Meshey Jr. then allegedly put his father’s severed arms, legs and head inside garbage bags and placed them in his basement.
He later retrieved the head and placed it in his freezer.
Officers say they discovered that Meshey Jr. had also placed his father’s torso in a bin bag and put it in a footlocker before later transporting it to his car in a hand truck.
“You can’t imagine running into something like this,” Lancaster Police Captain Michael Winter said.
“Obviously, it’s a traumatic experience for anyone to experience, including police officers, so yeah, it’s a horrific scene.”
The Lancaster County coroner confirmed that Meshey Sr. died from multiple stab wounds.
In addition to criminal homicide, Meshey Jr. is charged with abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence.
He is currently being held in jail.
