Man Claims He Is God, That He Killed the Devil After Beating 70-Year-Old Man to Death in Colorado
A Colorado man, accused of beating a 70-year-old man to death, told his
mother that he was God and that he had “killed the devil,” after the
alleged incident. Zachery Joseph Cooper, 25, was arrested on October 15
and is believed to have beaten Tony Morales to death with a baseball
bat, according to The Denver Post. Cooper, who had recently been
discharged from the military and suffers from mental illness, had been
living at home with his mother, Janet Segura, and Morales, for whom she
cared. Segura told police that she came back from a two hour trip to the
grocery store to find Cooper naked and “making comments about … being
in heaven and referring to himself as God.” Segura called 911 and after
dispatchers arrived, they noticed that Morales’ throat had also been
slit, according to Cooper’s arrest affidavit. Neighbors told The Denver
Post that they saw Cooper outside and naked roughly an hour before the
police arrived. They also remembered their deceased neighbor “as a kind
man who could often be found tending to his garden or working in his
yard.” Christian Post
