Chilling Northern California Crime Shakes Community To Its Core
In a deeply unsettling incident in Northern California, a man is accused of decapitating his one-year-old son during a domestic violence episode. The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO) reported that Andrey Demskiy, 28, was discovered with his son’s severed head in a bedroom at his Antelope home.
Authorities described the scene as “a gruesome discovery.” The tragic event unfolded early Friday morning when SCSO’s North Patrol Deputies responded to a family disturbance call around 4:15 a.m. on the 7500 block of Versailles Way, North Sacramento County.
Upon arrival, deputies encountered Demskiy’s wife and her mother outside the home. The wife alleged that Demskiy had assaulted both her and her mother, who sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was subsequently taken to the hospital by emergency personnel.
Demskiy had barricaded himself inside the residence, refusing to surrender. Deputies were informed that he was inside with his son, whom he might have harmed after allegedly throwing him. Concerned for the child’s safety, the deputies forcibly entered the home, subdued the resistant Demskiy, and made the horrific discovery.
Investigations revealed that after assaulting his wife and her mother, Demskiy decapitated his son with a knife once the women had left to await police assistance.
Sgt. Amar Gandhi, an SCSO spokesperson, expressed the profound impact of the incident on the responding officers.
“The deputies that had to discover that and see that — and again these are human beings that go home every night to families, to their kids — and have to process this. This is something that has shaken them,” Gandhi stated.
A neighbor, also a father of three, shared his reaction with ABC10, describing the alleged murder as “chilling” and remarking, “it’s crazy something like this can happen…just a young father, and that’s just deranged to us.”
Demskiy faces charges of murder, causing corporeal injury to a spouse, and assault with force likely to result in significant bodily harm. He is currently held without bail.

Personal safety is highly restricted because it does not allow protection of home and health. Criminals have more laws breaking into a persons house than the owners.
People should be able to protect Not only their family but their property as well. That means deadly force for each. You should not have to wait to be injured by criminals before you can act WITHIN YOUR OWN HOME.
Concealed Carry Permits should be allowed US wide when you travel for your own protection.

Well Mr. Demskiy has now become an “unwanted celebrity” for ANY prison in Calif. that he winds up in. Murdering his own child in such a gruesome & horrific way will only show the prison inmates that he is EVIL on the inside and they will most likely give him some form of “prison like surgery” from some very highly skilled and well trained “prison INMATE SURGEONS” who will most likely wanna SURGICALLY open him up to see if they can remove that EVIL INSIDE OF HIM. HE PROBABLY WON’T LIVE LONG…….WE WON’T CRY!

Put him in general population and make sure the other prisoners know what his crime is. Problem solved.

I cannot think of anything worse. Just reading about it fills me with such anger…I wish I had not read the article. I would immediately dig a deep hole and bury this person from the neck down and have him stoned to death…with small rocks. I would gladly cast the first and last stone.

He should be drawn and quartered or burned at the stake!
