"It was an exorcism"
What we know:
According to police, an anonymous caller called 911 and said they received a photo in a group chat on Snapchat of a woman on the ground covered in something red, possibly blood, the arrest affidavit shows. The anonymous caller gave police the address of the 9900 block of Farmers Branch St. in Fort Worth. They said this was the address of the person who sent the photo. When officers arrived, a man answered the door with blood on his face, neck, chest, torso, hands and feet. He was also carrying a Bible and told police, "It was an exorcism" as he walked out of the house and sat on a chair on the front porch, according to the arrest affidavit.
The officer asked why he had blood on him, and he told the officer, "I was doing witchcraft to kill my mom." The officer asked if there was anyone else in the house, and he said, "There is a dead body in there, it's my mom," the affidavit shows.
