Dad kills son, 13, with an ax because he believed he was a demon and was going to eat him

House of horrors: Mr Sherrill lived in this seedy apartment on the northern fringe of Phoenix - he's now residing in a jail cell
 

A Phoenix man did the unthinkable – he hacked his 13-year-old son to death with an axe.
Gary Sherrill, 51, told police he killed his son Tuesday because he ‘believed his son was a demon and was going to eat him,’ police said.  The deranged man was arrested and charged with first degree murder for a killing that has shocked even veteran police.
The face of evil: Gary Sherrill killed his son with an axe and then claimed he did because he thought the boy was a demon trying to eat him

The horrific crime was discovered after the boy’s mother called police to check on the young boy after Mr Sherrill (her ex-husband) was late bringing him back from a visit and she was unable to reach them by phone.
