A QAnon believer accused of killing his 2 young children with a spearfishing gun could face the

death penalty

A California surf instructor, accused of killing his two children with a spearfishing gun after succumbing to the QAnon conspiracy theory, could face the death penalty.

Matthew Coleman, 40, was indicted on two counts of foreign first-degree murder of US nationals on Wednesday, relating to the deaths of his 2-year-old son and 10-month-old daughter.

In his interview with investigators, Coleman told them he had murdered his children with a spearfishing gun and disposed of their bodies in bushes nearby.

The surfing instructor and devout Christian apparently also told investigators that he was "enlightened by QAnon and Illuminati conspiracy theories" and that he was "receiving visions and signs," the complaint said.

He believed that his wife, Abby Coleman, possessed serpent DNA and passed it on to his children and that they would turn into "monsters."

shows up in late teens/early 20's.

In any case, this man needs to be locked up for life, whether it's a criminal psych ward or a regular jail.

It's obvious he had already turned into the monster he thought his children would become.
