Bucks Man Accused Of Killing Father Gets New Court Date

LOWER BUCKS COUNTY, PA —The man accused of killing his father in their Middletown Township home last week had his first court appearance continued.

Justin Mohn, 32, of Levittown faces first-degree murder charges, abuse of a corpse, and possession of an instrument of crime with intent for killing his father, who was found beheaded in the Upper Orchard Drive home. He is being held in Bucks County Prison without bail.

Mohn was scheduled to have a preliminary hearing at 9 a.m. Thursday before Magisterial District Court Justice Charles D. Jonas in Middletown Township.

That hearing has now been scheduled for 10 a.m. on April 2.

Michael Mohn's body was discovered by his wife Denise last Tuesday night in the bathroom of their Upper Orchard Drive home in the Levittown section of Middletown Township.

Authorities said that Michael Mohn was shot in the head before he was beheaded. Bucks County District Attorney Jennifer Schorn said that Justin Mohn had purchased a gun the day before the crime Tuesday at a Croydon gun shop. She said the gun was purchased legally.

Mohn posted a 14-minute YouTube video in which he ranted about the federal government and showed the decapitated head of his father, 68, an employee with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

The Bucks County District Attorney’s Office and Middletown Township Police Department are investigating the case.
