A Minnesota father allegedly used a moose antler and a shovel to fatally beat an elderly man he believed was sexually abusing children, a criminal complaint states.
Levi William Axtell, 27, turned himself in to police Wednesday, minutes after he killed a 77-year-old man. Axtell allegedly admitted to the crime, telling detectives that he had known the victim for a long time and"believed him to have sexually offended against children in the past," according to the complaint.
The victim was found dead in his home next to a bloody shovel. A preliminary medical examiner's report said he had defensive wounds on his arms and died from blunt force head injuries.
