ALBUQUERQUE, NM – Because voices from the television told him to, Martin Montano stabbed his mother and a man, stuffed them in a car trunk then tossed his mother off a bridge.
According to Albuquerque police, Montano beat and stabbed his mother, Hope, and a man named Francisco Dominguez. The 26-year-old then loaded their bodies into the trunk of a car and drove them to to the Rio Grande Bridge. That’s where he pulled his mother out of the trunk and tossed her off the bridge.
A passerby was able to intervene before Montano had a chance to throw Dominguez over the bridge, and Montano took off running. Using information from witnesses at the scene, police were able to apprehend Montano shortly afterward.
Martin Montano was arrested and charged with an attempt to commit a violent felony, attempted murder, tampering with evidence, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, unlawful taking of a motor vehicle and aggravated burglary.
He told police that he was watching television when voices informed him that his mother and Dominguez where clones, and that his real family were living underground. He attacked the “clones” because the voices predictably told him to kill them instead of telling him to do something productive like cutting the grass.
Surprisingly, both Montano’s mother and and Dominguez survived the attack and were transported to the hospital with head trauma, stab wounds and blunt-force trauma to their bodies. They are listed in critical condition but are expected to recover.
This isn’t the first time Montano has gotten into trouble for assaulting his mom. Back in 2012 he was arrested for false imprisonment and battery after he was seen restraining his mother, pushing her to the ground and shouting, “You have demons in you!”
Which, coincidentally, is exactly what my last girlfriend was yapping before I put the lid on the barrel.
