Austin Harrouff begged deputies to kill him after they dragged him off John Stevens’ lifeless body, according to a police report. ‘Help me, I ate something bad’, he told police after he was rushed to St. Mary’s Medical Center as his organs began to fail. When asked what it was he ate, he replied ‘Humans.
The Florida State University fraternity brother also allegedly murdered the victim’s wife Michelle Mishcon, 53, in the bizarre August attack. He used a switchblade knife and ‘weapons of opportunity’ from the couple’s garage in the attack, creating what experienced homicide detectives called the most gruesome crime scene of their careers, the sheriff said. Deputies found the muscular former wrestler in his underwear, making animal noises and biting Mr Stevens’ face as he pinned his victim’s body to the driveway in Tequesta, Florida.
The FBI has been running tests to determine whether he was under the influence of hallucinogenic drugs such as flakka or bath salts, both of which have been linked to violent outbursts. Officers are convinced Harrouff, an exercise science student and Alpha Delta Phi Fraternity member, had overdosed before his alleged attack. My sentiments exactly, this just does not happen at the spur of the moment. He was probably high at the restaurant, and it started to kick in, and the rest is a tradgedy. Harrouff’s parents issued a statement days after the slayings expressing their condolences to the Stevens family. Stevens’s family has called for the death penalty. What do you think?
