The United States authorities arrested an 18-year-old man in Texas for allegedly killing his parents and two siblings as he believed that they were “cannibals” planning on eating him.
The arrested person has been identified as Cesar Olalde who was arrested on Tuesday and charged with capital murder of multiple people, including his 5-year-old brother, reported CBS News.
After getting a report that a man had harmed his family and was threatening to kill himself, the police went to Olalde’s home in Texas. When they reached, they found that the 18-year-old was holed up, and family members were inside.
The report further says that the teen, while barricaded inside his home, had called the cops. He even said that ‘he had pulled the trigger, and shot his family’. After persuading Cesar, when the cops entered the house, they found the bodies of his parents, Reuben Olalde and Aida Garcia, older sister Lisbet Olalde and younger brother Oliver Olalde in a bathroom.
“It appeared as if the victims had been shot at various places in the residence and (had been dragged) to the bathroom,” CBS News quoted the cops as saying, adding, “Multiple spent cartridge casings” were found on the floor of the home, and there was “blood spatter on multiple surfaces.”
The incident came to light after a coworker of Lisbet Olalde had gone to the house as she’d missed work on that day. After getting no response on knocking the door, the co-worker, ogether with a family member then forced his way inside, where he was confronted by Cesar Olalde, said Nash Police Officer Craig Buster.
Cesar had allegedly pointed a gun at the man several times and the coworker said the police that Cesar said, “”He had killed his family because they were cannibals, and they were going to eat him”.
The New York Post reported that Cesar was ordered jailed on $10 million bond.
