Officers Left ‘Visibly Shaken’ After Entering Home, Arresting Father For ‘One Of The Most Horrific Things’

A man beheaded his one-year-old son during a domestic violence incident early Friday in Sacramento, local police reported.

Andrey Demskiy, 28, was found with his son’s head in a bedroom in his Antelope residence after police broke through to arrest him, according to the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO). It was “a gruesome discovery,” the SCSO said.

The SCSO’s North Patrol Deputies were at Demskiy’s residence in response to a family disturbance report that they received at about 4:15 a.m. The deputies found Demskiy’s wife and her mother outside the residence. Demsky’s wife alleged that Demskiy had assaulted her and her mother, who was injured. Emergency personnel took the injured woman to the hospital — her injuries were non-life-threatening, the SCSO said.

Demskiy had barricaded himself within the residence and would not surrender, according to the statement. The deputies learned that the accused was with his son whom he might have injured after throwing him. The deputies then broke into the residence out of concern for the child’s safety. They overpowered and arrested the uncooperative and combative Demskiy, and discovered his severed child’s head, the SCSO said.

Investigators determined that Demskiy had assaulted his wife and her mother and, after the two women left the house to wait for the police, decapitated his son with a knife, according to the SCSO.
