WPBN: A guy in California who is 28 years old is suspected of the “gruesome” murder of his kid, who was only one year old. According to the allegations, the man used a knife to decapitate the boy after getting into an altercation with his wife and mother-in-law.
On Friday, Andrey Demskiy was brought into prison and charged with one case of murder, one count of assault by means of force likely to create serious bodily injury, and one count of corporal injury to a spouse or cohabitant.
A “family disturbance” was reported to have occurred at a property located in the 7500 block of Versailles Way on December 20 at approximately 4:15 a.m., as stated in a press release issued by the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office. Deputy sheriffs arrived to the residence following the incident.
When first responders arrived at the location, they made contact with an adult female who was standing outside of the apartment. She revealed that she was Demskiy’s wife. Demskiy had recently assaulted both the wife and her mother, according to the wife, who alerted the deputies.
It was determined that the wife’s mother had injuries that were not considered to be life-threatening, so emergency medical workers transported her to a hospital for treatment. According to the deputies, they subsequently made an effort to get in touch with Demskiy, who was still present at the residence. In spite of this, when they knocked on the door, he did not answer and instead “surrender peacefully.”
“A short time later, Deputies learned that a one-year-old male child was inside the residence alone with Demskiy, and that Demskiy had possibly injured the child after throwing him,” according to the release. “Fearing for the child’s safety, Deputies forced entry into the residence and attempted to detain Demskiy, who was uncooperative and became physically resistive. As Deputies took him into custody, they made the gruesome discovery of a severed child’s head in the bedroom where Demskiy was contacted and detained.”
Detectives from the Child Abuse Bureau of the sheriff’s office, which is generally responsible for conducting investigations into homicides involving children, were notified and dispatched to the scene in order to take over the investigation immediately.
After conducting a preliminary investigation, the detectives came to the conclusion that Demskiy had initially been “involved in a domestic violence incident with his wife and mother-in-law,” which resulted in the call to 911. Following the completion of the call, both of the women left the apartment and waited outside for the local law enforcement officers to come.

“Once they exited the residence, Demskiy used a knife to behead and murder his one-year-old son,” as per the authorities.
After being arrested, Demskiy was checked into the Sacramento County Main Jail. At the moment, he is being detained without bond. On Tuesday, the defendant is expected to appear before a court.
Deputies who went to the scene were “visibly shaken,” according to sheriff’s office spokesperson Amar Gandhi, it was “one of the most horrific things” he had ever seen.
Micah Demskiy was named as the victim on a GoFundMe page. The page was created to assist the boy’s mother with funeral and memorial planning. According to the GoFundMe, the mother has to move because she is currently unemployed.
