Chicago man carves up dad's body, posts selfies on Facebook

West Pullman

Chicago sure needs the League of Shows now.

"The League of Shadows has been a check against human corruption for thousands of years. We sacked Rome, loaded trade ships with plague rats, burned London to the ground. Every time a civilization reaches the pinnacle of its decadence, we return to restore the balance." Ra's al Ghul in Batman Begins.

And the holidays are supposed to be a time for families.

From ABC Chicago:

Just days after he was served with a court order barring him from coming near his father, Cook County prosecutors said Carlton Edmondson murdered the 61-year-old and mutilated the body in the basement of the older man's West Pullman home.

He then allegedly posted several selfies on Facebook, the Chicago Sun-Times is reporting.

When Assistant State's Attorney Julia Ramirez said that Edmondson was facing a single count of first-degree murder, in addition to pending charges for violating the order of protection taken out by his father on Nov. 20, Edmondson shouted.

"The order of protection is gone," he said, smiling. "He is no longer living."
