LEXINGTON — After finding his 6-year-old son dead in bed, Tim Jones Jr. made a quick trip to a convenience store to buy cigarettes and, on the way back, heard the voice of a demon telling him to kill his other four children, a court-appointed psychiatrist told a Lexington County jury on Thursday.
“He heard a demonic voice . . . a creepy, gremlin voice that told him, ‘Kill the kids’,” Dr. Richard Frierson testified on the 12th day of a death penalty trial in one of South Carolina’s most horrific mass murders in memory. Jones has confessed to killings his five children, ages 1-8, in August 2014.
“He described the voices as being inside his head, being very brief,” Frierson said.
Back at his mobile home, Jones went to his four remaining children and strangled each — Merah, 8; Elias, 7; Gabriel, 2; and Abigail Elaine, 1, according to Jones’ confession to police.
“I knew I had schizophrenia. I was psychotic,” Jones later told Frierson during a mental health evaluation. “I thought it was better for me to take their lives. I cut off their windpipes, kissed them and took their lives . . . I’m not a murderer. I’d rather know where they’re at.”
Earlier that night, an angry Jones had punished his son Nahtahn, 6, by making him do physical exercises to the point the child died, Jones confessed to police. Jones said he believed if he went to prison for killing Nahtahn, the four remaining children would be left alone because their mother did not want them and it was better that they die.
Frierson did find that Jones had been using substantial amounts of a potentially mind-altering drug popularly known as Spice, or cannabiniod, a synthetic form of marijuana, on the night he killed his children.
“He used incredible amounts of Spice. He says up to five times a day,” Frierson testified, basing his testimony on information that Jones had given him during his hours of interviews. “At work, he would go outside on breaks to use Spice.”
In the month before the killings, he spent $230 on Spice, according to Jones’s credit card receipts.
My Take? I have no doubt this was the act of unseen creeps. Attacking and possesing the vulnerable. At my workplace alone I have seen 2 individuals totally change for the worse maybe never to be the same again after drug use and abuse. Do understand "they" await the moment to take these folks.-Myka
