A California prisoner has confessed to launching aggravated assault on two inmates and beating them to death, after finding out about their background as child molesters.
Jonathan Watson, 41, wrote a confessional letter to The Morning News, stating that he was well aware of the fact that he was going to launch a deadly attack on the child molesters he was put in prison with and also warned the prison guards about his possible outburst, beforehand.
Watson was further triggered by the fact that the first molester started watching PBS Kids right in front of other inmates, which wasn’t going down well with them, considering his background.
“I could not sleep having not done what every instinct told me I should’ve done right then and there, so I packed all of my things because I knew one way or another the situation would be resolved the following day,” he told the media outlet.
He then confesses to picking up a cane and going with it to “work on him”.
It was only after that, Watson came across another inmate, who was a known child trafficker, and beat him to death with the cane.
Moments later, he approached a prison officer and confessed to having just killed the two inmates, much to his shock.
Watson is presently serving life sentence for a 2009 murder conviction and he has already pleaded guilty to the two murders in his letter. He also states that he’d gladly do it again, if put in prison with a child molester.
“These familys (sic) spend years carefully and articulately planning how to give their children every opportunity that they never had, and one monster comes along and changes that child’s trajectory forever.” – he writes.
Investigations are currently going on in relation to the prison murders and Watson’s involvement in the same.
