Clayton Police believe John Violette fled to Washington, D.C., after killing his daughter at their Clayton home Friday. Authorities will travel to the nation's capital Wednesday to pick him up and return him to Johnston County.
U.S. Marshals said Violette quoted the bible and screamed uncontrollably when they arrested him. The 37-year-old Clayton resident is charged with the slaying of his 4-year-old daughter, Katlin.
Violette's wife found the couple's daughter. Authorities said the child's head had been severed from her body.

Another killing for God.
Fuck. I saw this on the news here and somehow I got the impression the daughter was older. Not that that would make it any better, but...wow.
Hey, Abraham was going to slit his kid's throat when he heard voices telling him to do it. Why should John Violette be any different?
"Another example of how religion is a mental illness."

Normally I'd try to make a sarcastic remark about someone this crazed, but this is just to sad. Only 4 years old, and the way she died. . .<shudder> . This kind of thing should never happen, even in the movies.anything -good comes from this (tighter watching on religious fundamentalists?) so that the girl will not have died for nothing.
Yes, I know, but I just wonder what can be a justification for killing a 4 years old baby. And talking about Abraham, you should know by now that it was a remnant of the ol´good habit of the time of human sacrifices. What the core of the theological content of this part implies is that it was an exceptional case to show off their repulsion of a not very far away tradition in Canaan and the Middle East. Anyway, the verses I think he might quote are those in which God rants against those who disrespect men of good will and fair people, but I am not even sure of that.
To the person who made the Highlander joke, fuck you.
A child has been murdered. That's not something you fucking joke about.
This is just fucked
@ anevilmeme
Thanks for making my day
The Sandy Hook killer was raised in the church and he and his mother were still connected,,, He also had a long history of mental illness.
This guy is nuts, probably the worst thing he's done but not the first sign of him being unstable.
Church doesn't help and the aggressor often can find scripture to support the most vile actions, The books all kinds of fucked up shit, that's the only message I impart. I won't blame the religion or church unless there's a direct link towards violence being preached, or a manifesto linking the act to his beliefs, at the same time it doesn't help at all.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
