A Minnesota father slaughtered a 77-year-old convicted sex offender using a moose antler and shovel after he accused the victim of stalking his young daughter.
Levi Axtell, 27, walked into at the sheriff's office covered in blood and with his head in his hands as he admitted killing Lawrence Scully - who was jailed for molesting a six-year-old girl in 1979.
Axtell, from Cook County, Minnesota, had long been suspicious of Scully parking his vehicle at locations where children were present.
In 2018 Axtell filed an order of protection against the elderly man which was initially granted but later dropped.
Court records also show Scully was committed to a mental institution in 2020 but was later released and prescribed anti-psychotic drugs
A criminal complaint filed on Friday said Axtell repeatedly struck Scully with a shovel in his own apartment before 'finishing him off' with a large moose antler. At some point he is also believed to have smashed Scully's vehicle.
A criminal complaint states Axtell entered Scully's home at around 4.45pm and struck him 15-20 times with a shovel he had found on the victim's deck.
Axtell told officers he finished the job with a large moose antler, according to the complaint.
'Defendant said he had known (Scully) for a long time, and believed him to have sexually offended against children in the past,' it states.
'Defendant said he had observed (Scully) parked in his vehicle at locations where children were present and believed he would re-offend.'
A Cook County sheriff's deputy entered the property around 5pm on Wednesday and found Scully with 'major head trauma and surrounded by blood,' adding he was 'obviously dead.'
The father had walked into the police station covered in blood and with his head in his hands as he confessed to the killing.

He Aint Gonna Pedo No More...
Agreed. Might have been better if he just disabled the guys car permanently.
I’ll just say that it sounds like there’s more to the story that we’re not hearing.
Doucet was his last name. Never served time for it either.
Yeah I found it later on, saw the video, pedo was world champion room temp contestant.
The dad in Baton Rouge got probation
This guy….
As I alluded to before, every cop, detective, court investigator, bailiff has said “anyone f**ks with my kids, they’re dead”.
How do these guys even get indicted? I’m on that Grand Jury or trail jury, they’re not getting a vote for indictment or guilty from me. I’d buy them a drink for taking care of their family.
Between the ass jawbones and this, they’re gonna have to come up with a new crime:
Assault With a Quadruped Bone
And Joe Biden is president.....
Not if I were on the jury...It would be a hung jury at least.
Maybe voire dire could make all jury members parents or grandparents of a 6 year old.
He was stalking the guy's children to the point of him having a protective order in the past, which apparently had recently lapsed. If you've ever heard the ludicrous decisions in family courts in this country, you would understand. Many, many children are killed or harmed due to utterly stupid judicial orders more favorable to the perp class than the child or domestic partner victim class.
I have my doubts. The guy was freaking 77.
I assure you the sex drive does not disappear with age in all persons. Apparently you think 77-year-olds cannot fondle or molest child victims with their hands, tongues or objects, but they do. Some males are still "able." There is also viagra for the horny old pervs.
It’s a slippery slope to allow this type of killing based on suspicion of potential wrong doing. Where does it end? “Oh I killed that old man because I heard him say he wanted to hurt trans people!”
What event was this?
I agree with the consensus that in the present system, the killing will be deemed wrong. Earlier I posted “not guilty” as a sarcasm because when there’s a mug shot of a woman, male freepers jokingly “determine” guilt or innocence based on her looks. Guess I should have put the sarcasm tag.
Still, if the courts failed to renew the protection order, I do feel that those officials contributed to the dad’s anxiety about his kids. Those recent threats had more to do with his fear than the long-ago accusation against the nasty old man.
When I was young and single, I rented an apartment from an old lady and her husband in their 70s. One day the old guy let himself into my apartment with the master key, and attacked me. I defended myself vigorously, surprised him at how strong and determined and loud I was, and pushed him out and almost down a flight of stairs—the point being that his age was not stopping his intentions or arousal. Anyone who thinks an old guy cannot be a threat to a little girl simply because he is old is very mistaken.
‘Levi Axtell, 27, walked into at the sheriff’s office covered in blood and with his head in his hands...
well, I guess if you were walking around with your severed head in your hands you’d be bloody, yeah...
ha ha ha...
