A grand jury has indicted a Chad Doerman accused of sh%oting his three young sons on m¥rder charges — charges he could face the d£ath penalty for.
The 32-year-old Ohio man was arrested in Clermont County and charged with m¥rdering his three sons in the shocking incident that prosecutors have described as “£vil h%rror.” According to law enforcement, Mr Doerman allegedly sh%t the boys ex£c¥tion-style and wo¥nded his wife on the hand while she was trying to shield her sons from him during the Thursday, June 15 carn@ge.
Clayton Doerman, 7, Hunter Doerman, 4, and Chase Doerman, 3, were all k#lled. Prosecutors say he admitted to planning the sh%oting, but at a Friday arraignment, Doerman entered a not-guilty plea. “This was the man that everyday they woke up looking to for protection, love and guidance in all things,” Clermont County’s chief prosecutor of Municipal Court, David Gast, said at a previous hearing.
He said this was the worst crime he he’d seen in his career. He said Doerman lined up the boys at their home and ex£c¥ted them with a rifl£. Gast said one of the boys tried to flee into a field, but Doerman “hunted” him down, brought him back to the house in Monroe Township, Ohio, and kill£d him.
He was their world, he was their guardian and he ex£c¥ted them in cold bl@@d,” Gast said. Mr Doerman’s 15-year-old stepdaughter managed to escape the viol£nc£ and asked neighbours to call emergency responders.
ABC News reported that moments before the neighbour alerted authorities, the children’s mother had placed a call, scre@ming that “her babies had been sh%t.”
When Clermont County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to the home in Monroe Township, they found the suspect calmly sitting on a step outside with a rifl£ in hand. “I’m sob£r, I’m not trying to f#ght you,” Mr Doerman can be heard saying on bodycam video obtained by ABC.
Mr Doerman is set to appear in court for a preliminary hearing on 26 June. He is being held on $20m bond at the Clermont County Jail.
