Terrible details about the death of two children at the hands of their father after a trip to Mexico has been released.
Matthew Taylor Coleman of Santa Barbara, was charged after confessing to using a spearfishing gun to murder his two children in Mexico. Police report claims the father cited QAnon conspiracy theories which convinced him "his children were going to grow into monsters," according to an FBI affidavit.
Coleman, 40, was arrested after the bodies of his 2-year-old son and 10-month-old daughter were found Monday morning by a farmworker at a ranch near Rosarito in Baja California.
According to court documents, Coleman allegedly said that "he believed his children were going to grow into monsters so he had to kill them."
The girl had been stabbed 12 times, and the boy was stabbed 17 times, officials said.
Coleman's wife had reported her husband and their children missing Saturday, after discovering they had left in the family van. She was able to track her husband to Rosarito Sunday. Unfortunately, officials were not able to intervene in time to save their children.
