Thibodaux Louisiana-A father has admitted to chopping his son's head off with a meat cleaver and leaving it outside his home so that the boy's mother could see it. However, a passing motorist saw the decapatated head and called the authorities. When police arrived they found the decapatated head of 7 year -old Jori Lirette near the curb. Detectives later found the child's body in a sack of trash that had been dumped nearby.
The boy's father, 30-year old Jeremiah Lee Wright, is alleged to have confessed to the murder. Telling detectives 'he'd gotten tired of taking care of the boy.' Jori, who was born with Cerebral Palsy, needed a feeding tube and was bound to a wheelchair. When asked why he put the head on the side of the road he said "he wanted the boy's mother to see it and feel stupid when she drove by."
Police say Wright carried out the gruesome murder in the kitchen over the sink. His hands and feet were also cut off and put in plastic bags near the body. Police said the boy's mother was away getting her car repaired when the murder took place. The 27 year old mother said "the devil had visited her home and had taken away her angel." The distraught mother also told authorities how much the boy loved his father and "he killed him anyway. He killed my baby."
Family members had warned her to take her son and leave the ten year relationship after being told Wright was hearing voices. Wrights criminal history includes arrests for burglary, contempt and drugs. Thibodaux Police Chief Silverii said "not in 22 years have I seen anything like this." Wright is being held on five million dollars bond and faces the death penalty if convicted.
