Chad Doerman, an Ohio father accused of murdering his three sons, had been plotting the killings for months, according to court documents. “The defendant gave a statement during an audio and video recorded interview, during which he admitted to having been thinking about shooting his sons since October,” said the bill of particulars which was obtained by WCPO. Mr Doerman hadn’t slept in the three or four days leading up to the murders because “the thoughts of having to kill his sons was so heavy on him,” it added. The document sets out the series of events that led up to when the father allegedly killed his sons aged three, four and seven. After Mr Doerman came home from work early, he asked his wife and the three boys to join him for a nap in the master bedroom, the bill states. While the rest of the family were situated in the master bedroom, Mr Doerman’s 12-year-old stepdaughter was watching television in the family room. That room housed a Marlin Model HC .22 rifle, WCPO reported. As his family lay down to nap, Mr Doerman removed the rifle from its safe and began loading a magazine into it, the outlet said, before shooting one of his sons twice. His wife reportedly tried to help the child while yelling for her other boys to run. The 12-year-old moved to the master bedroom in time to witness the first shots fired, according to the document. She ran after one of her brothers, yelling for him to run away, but Mr Doerman shot the boy as he ran, causing him to fall, and allowing his father to shoot him again at close range, the outlet wrote. The 12-year-old then picked up another of her brothers and carried him out of the house, the document continues. But Mr Doerman caught up to the pair as they approached the road. He raised his weapon and told his stepdaughter to put her brother down, it said. Apparently out of ammunition, Mr Doerman tried to fire again but it the gun didn’t work, allowing the boy to run to his mother, who was trying to help her son who had been shot outside. The step-daughter ran toward the local fire department, telling a passerby who stopped her that “her father was killing everyone.” Mr Doerman then went up to his wife and the third boy. He bit his wife to try to get to his son, the document says. As they fought, Mrs Doerman was able to grab hold of the rifle but her husband fired, shooting her through her thumb. This caused her to drop the third boy, who Mr Doerman allegedly then shot in the head. “After the defendant executed all three boys, he sat on the side stoop of the residence” and watched his wife try to save her children, the outlet reported. The document says that the father fired nine shots: one boy was shot once, the other two were each shot four times. According to the sheriff’s office, Mr Doerman faces 21 counts: 9 counts of aggravated murder, 8 counts of kidnapping, and 4 counts of felonious assault. His first court appearance was on June 16, one day after the killings. Mr Doerman pleaded not guilty; the judge ordered his bond to be set for $20 million. “This is the most serious offense that we have on the books, judge,” said David Gast, assistant Clermont County prosecutor, during the first court appearance. “This is it. You can’t commit a more serious offense.” Clermont County Prosecutor Mark Tekulve announced in June that his office plans to seek the death penalty for Mr Doerman. “My goal is to have this man executed for slaughtering these three young boys,” Mr Tekulve said. “It is an incomprehensible act of horror that he perpetuated on this family.” Read More Ohio father accused of killing his 3 young sons indicted on murder charges Heartbreaking 911 calls reveal mother’s panic after husband ‘executed’ three young sons Father of man who executed his three young sons shares disbelief: ‘He just snapped’

Mikel Arteta has backed Kai Havertz to win over the fans and come good at Arsenal after the summer signing from Chelsea endured a tepid start to his career at the Emirates. Havertz arrived for £65million in June and has started all three of the team’s Premier League games as part of a midfield three this season. He was withdrawn after 56 minutes of Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Fulham having struggled to help Arsenal back into a match in which they trailed to Andreas Pereira’s first-minute goal. He had one glorious chance to level early in the first half when he got his head to Bukayo Saka’s clever flick back across goal but badly miscued his effort. And there was audible discontent from sections of the home support in certain moments when the Germany international was in possession. His struggles were thrown into stark relief by the impact of the player who replaced him, Fabio Vieira, who won a penalty from which Saka equalised in the 70th minute and then set up fellow substitute Eddie Nketiah to fire Arsenal into the lead moments later. Arteta insists he has been pleased with Havertz’s contributions so far and said he remains confident he will settle in north London. “I saw an action when he played it backwards and he could have turned,” said the manager. “But that’s more I think the demands of everybody, to play forward and to impact the game in the final third, because we had the urgency to win it. “Yes, I think (he will win the fans over). I think he’s done already really good things today. It was tough for him in certain moments, he got in great areas again and the ball didn’t arrive. “He’s had a lot of situations, he should have scored already a lot of goals this season, and that’s the thing that is missing there.” The introduction of Vieira and Nketiah in the second half had a transformative effect on Arsenal after a first half in which they dominated play but rarely extended Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno. Vieira in particular succeeded in galvanising the team in midfield after the ineffectual Havertz had departed, playing a decisive role in the goals that looked to have won it for the hosts before Joao Palhinha’s late strike for 10-man Fulham. But Arteta reserved special praise for Nketiah, a surprise omission from the starting line-up after performing well during Monday’s win against Crystal Palace, winning the penalty from which Martin Odegaard secured a 1-0 victory. “(Nketiah) looks a real threat at the moment,” said Arteta. “He’s in a good moment, I think he’s full of confidence. I saw when he came on in the second half the fire in his eyes, and he’s got an eye for goal. The way he finished the action, it was top. “It’s difficult to leave (any) player out. When I see the bench there are players that still haven’t played. But we’ve (played once a week (so far). In two weeks, that’s going to be a completely different scenario and we’re prepared for that.” Read More Charity boss speaks out over ‘traumatic’ encounter with royal aide Ukraine war’s heaviest fight rages in east - follow live What next for Oleksandr Usyk after controversial win over Daniel Dubois?

Maryland police have warned that Rachel Morin’s killer could strike again as he remains at large more than two weeks on from her murder. Harford County sheriff Jeff Gahler told Fox News that identifying and catching the suspect is a “top priority” amid fears that he could do “something harmful to someone else”. “This individual poses a threat to every community from here to Los Angeles because we don’t know where he’s laying his head at night,” he said. Morin, 37, was found dead after heading off for a walk along on the Ma & Pa Trail in Bel Air, Maryland, on the evening of 6 August. Last week, the Harford County Sheriff’s Office announced a major break in the case, revealing that DNA found at the scene of Morin’s murder had been matched to the DNA left at a home where an unknown man broke into a home in Los Angeles and violently attacked a young girl back in March. The suspect, a Hispanic male aged 20-30, was caught on a home security camera leaving the LA home. Over the weekend, hundreds of community members took part in a tribute walk in memory of the mother-of-five.
