[Daily News] Korean man claiming to be god kills neighbor with sword in Wisconsin
[NEW YORK DAILY NEWS] A week-long rant on aliens, God and evil ended with a Wisconsin man stabbing his neighbor to death over the man’s wife, police say.
Officers took Young J. Choi, 29, into custody on June 19, after he allegedly killed a neighbor with a long, decorative sword and zealously told people to call him God, according to a Watertown police report.
Choi is charged with homicide in the death of his neighbor, Dustin Vanderheyden, 27, during bloody assault at their boarding house over a bar.
The criminal complaint details how Vanderheyden helped his neighbors evade the crazed and violent outburst, but he was seriously injured in the attack and died during surgery. He had stabbing injuries all over his body and an avulsion to his head, court documents show.
“There was blood and hair everywhere,” neighbor Eric Pann told dispatchers during the 911 call.
Pann hid in a bathroom as Vanderheyden repeatedly screamed: “I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”
Choi then barged in on the hiding spot and declared he stabbed Vanderheyden as he washed the blood off the weapon, the police report said. [READ MORE]
