California Dad Arrested for Allegedly Decapitating His Two Kids
A California personal trainer dad, 34, has been arrested for allegedly decapitating his daughter, 13, and son, 12, after cops made the grim discovery at his home where his wife and two other children were found alive and well.
Maurice Taylor Sr. was arrested Friday on suspicion of the murder of his two teenage children whose bodies were found inside the family home on the 45000 block of Century Circle, Lancaster, earlier that morning, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
Police were responding to his clients’ concerns about a possible gas leak at the home.
An adult female – thought to be the victims’ mother – and two other children were also present in the home at the time. They appeared to be unharmed and were being questioned by officers.
It is not clear when the victims died but Taylor’s personal training clients, who described him as ‘mellow’ and ‘reliable’, told the LA Times they grew concerned earlier in the week and contacted authorities as far back as of Tuesday when he failed to show up for fitness sessions he had been running over Zoom.
