The murder occurred on December 7, 2015, in Versailles, Kentucky, when Ronald Exantus, 38, broke into the home of the Tipton family in the middle of the night.
Exantus, who had no prior connection to the family, randomly selected their house and proceeded to stab the sleeping residents with a kitchen knife he found in the home.
Young Logan Tipton, just 6 years old, was the primary target of the attack. Exantus slashed the boy repeatedly in the head, killing him while he screamed for help.
Logan’s father, Dean Tipton, confronted the intruder and was stabbed in the process before being thrown 10 to 15 feet across the room.
Exantus also attacked Logan’s sister, Dakota Tipton, stabbing her in the back and stomping on her head.
Dakota, who survived the ordeal, later recounted the horror: “He stabbed me in the back. And then stomped on my head. And I remember waking up across the room, not where I was at, and I looked and he was killing Logan and Logan was screaming.”
According to reports, Exantus told Dakota during the attack that he intended to kill every member of the family.
Read this article. This MONSTER broke into a random house, murdered an 8-year old boy with a butcher knife, stabbed the boy’s sister in the back, threw the father 10 feet across the room, and got 20 years because of an insanity plea. He served 8 years, then was PAROLED. In Kentucky. WTF??? The man should have gotten the death penalty. Now he’s free, and the little boy is still dead, and the family now has to live in fear that he may come back.
We are NOT going to make it, folks.
Didn’t know. That’s appalling.
