Police responded to the scene after Demskiy’s wife and her mother fled the home, reporting that they had been attacked. Despite their escape, the young child remained inside with his father, prompting deputies to forcibly enter the residence. Inside, authorities discovered the horrifying scene: Demskiy in the bedroom alongside the severed head of his toddler. He was described as uncooperative and physically resistive upon arrest.
The attack, which occurred around 4 a.m., left Demskiy’s mother-in-law hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. The Sheriff’s Office confirmed that Demskiy used a knife in the alleged killing and has since been booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail without bail. The incident has sent shockwaves through the local community, with Demskiy facing multiple charges ahead of his scheduled court appearance on December 24. Authorities continue to investigate the motive behind the horrific act.
