Pennsylvania woman kills parents, dismembers bodies with chainsaw: officials
NY Post ^ | January 18, 2023 | Katherine Donlevy

A Pennsylvania woman allegedly shot both of her elderly parents in the head before mutilating their bodies with a chainsaw over the course of nine days, officials said.

Verity Beck, 49, was charged with double homicide after police found her parents, Reid and Miriam Beck, in “different stages of dismemberment,” Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin R. Steele said Wednesday.

An autopsy found that the couple, both in their 70s, was each shot once in the head at close range.

Police found the graphic scene at 10:30 p.m. Tuesday after Verity’s brother called for police to conduct a wellness check on the Jenkintown home on Beverly Road. Family members said they had not heard the couple’s voices since Jan. 7.

Upon entering the home, officers were struck by the overpowering stench of decomposing bodies and immediately found Reid, who was “wrapped in a white sheet and comforter.”

Oh, Okay. That’s one of those movies Ive heard of, but never saw. In general, not my kind of movie. Same with all the SAW pictures. They were very popular for a long time.

Okay, before we heap abuse on this woman, let us think that perhaps she killed her parents for convincing her to vote democratic? I mean that could happen right?

My BFF just wrote this,

A Dismember of the Family???
An Irish Poem by Squeeky Fromm

There once was a woman named Beck,
Who got angry and said, “What the heck!”
She shot Mom and Pop,
And then did not stop,
And she chopped off their heads at the neck!

What a mess!

Having recently acquired an electric chainsaw I use for small branched and trees around the property, I cannot imagine the mess it would make using them on a human body.

IMO, that’s likely why God established the death penalty in the first place.

Sure comes across as justifiable homicide when worded like that.

There’s a few ways to dismember a body but chainsaw is not an real option.

It ain’t like in the movies.
My gawd, the mess it would cause.

The demographics are fine for the borough of Jenkintown, except Beverly Road is not part of the borough, but rather part of Abington Township.

Montgomery County, isn’t that the home county of Shapiro, the new Democrat Gov?

“According to a criminal complaint obtained by WPVI, police were summoned to the house by the victims’ son—who showed up to check on his parents and saw the wrapped-up body.

He told his sister that she needed to call police, and she allegedly told him she needed “more time.” He went home and dialed 911.”

She worked as a beach tag inspector in Sea Isle City, where her parents had a second home, and records show she sought a fee waiver to file for bankruptcy in 2020.”

I’ve seen electric chainsaws used to disassemble large animals. It’s not as messy as you might think or imagine.
