Black Man Chops His Dad Into Little Pieces...

Son Mutilated Dad, Posted Selfies After Murder: Prosecutors

CHICAGO (CBS) — Just days after he was served with a court order barring him from coming near his father, Cook County prosecutors said Carlton Edmondson murdered the 61-year-old and mutilated the body in the basement of the older man’s West Pullman home. He then allegedly posted several selfies on Facebook, the Chicago Sun-Times is reporting. Led into court in shackles and white, jail-issued coveralls, the 26-year-old Edmondson muttered and ranted during a bond hearing Tuesday at the Leighton Criminal Courthouse. When Assistant State’s Attorney Julia Ramirez said that Edmondson was facing a single count of first-degree murder, in addition to pending charges for violating the order of protection taken out by his father on Nov. 20, Edmondson shouted. “The order of protection is gone,” he said, smiling. “He is no longer living.” Source
