Son Kills Mother Because He Saysshe Ruined His Life by Nobody: 1:55pm On Dec 28, 2013
A 22 year old man killed his mother with a
knife and yanked her intestines out because
according to him she 'ruined his life'
From NBC Connecticut
The man accused of killing his mother in
Deep River, Conn., on Thurs.,
disemboweled her, according to a police
report. Troopers responded to a home at
131 Rattling Valley Road around 1 p.m.
Thursday after receiving a 911 call from
the victim's ex-husband.
Robert Owen Rankin, the victim's 22-
year-old son, was arrested and charged
with murder. Rankin and his father were
outside the house when police arrived.
On Friday, state police identified the
victim as 45-year-old Margaret Rohner.
According to court documents, Rankin
admitted the crime to his father and then
to the first state police trooper who
arrived on the scene.
"I used the knife to kill my mother," Rankin
told the trooper after the trooper asked if he
had any weapons on him. "I killed my mother
because she is pretty much responsible for
everything that has gone wrong in my life," he
allegedly told the trooper.
Rankin continued to tell the trooper in detail
what he had allegedly done to his mother.
He said he woke up in the morning with a plan
to snap his mother's neck to kill her, but when
that didn't work, he stabbed her in the neck
with a fire poker, according to the police
report.
When Rankin saw she was still alive, he told
police he took his clothes off to "gain
additional strength," in his words.
He then used a buck knife to stab his mother
in the belly button, the court documents show.
Rankin said he was looking for a baby but
couldn't find one in her stomach, he allegedly
told police.
He told investigators he cleaned up, took a
shower and decided to take his dog for a
walk. It was then that he saw his father and
allegedly admitted to the crime.
"I just want you to know that she put up a
damn good fight. She is a strong woman. I
give her credit for that," he told his father,
according to court documents.
Police who went inside the home found
Rohner's body with several wounds to the
abdomen.
Rankin appeared in Middletown Superior court
on Friday morning. His attorney, Dennis
McMahon, said Rankin appears to have a
long history of severe psychiatric issues.
Rankin was held on $1 million bond and put
on a suicide watch.
