Chad Doerman executed his 3 young sons in court; Chad Doerman courtroom
An Ohio father charged with three counts of aggravated murder in the murder of his three young sons faced a judge on Friday.
Bond was set at $20 million for Chad Doerman, what is reportedly the highest bond in county history.
Doerman is charged with fatally shooting his children ages 7, 4 and 3 in the yard at their home. According to court documents, Doerman said he planned it out for several months.
Investigators say he lined up and executed them. The motive in the shootings remained unclear.
This is by far the most sickening, horrifying crime I have seen. I can only imagine the terror these little boys felt and experienced as their father – their protector – was murdering them," said Clermont County Prosecutor Mark Tekulve.
The 34-year-old mother of the children was shot in the hand, apparently having grabbed Doerman's gun at some point in an attempt to save them. She then called 911 and told dispatchers "her babies had been shot."
It happened Thursday around 4:30 p.m. at the house in Monroe Township. The three boys were found in the yard, unresponsive. They died from their injuries at the scene.
Prosecutors said Friday that one of them had managed to flee into a field near the home, but that Doerman hunted him down and dragged him back to the property before killing him in front of witnesses.
