Jane Skalitzky, 68, had no idea that when she sat down for breakfast with her son Matthew Skalitzky, 40, on Friday morning, her life would soon come to a brutal end.
Matthew, who is mentally ill, attacked his mother, after she made a family breakfast, with a four-foot sword, beheading her. When police arrived at the scene, Matthew kept telling them “she’s not my real mother,” reports the Daily Mail.
The incident took place in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin.
Police state that Matthew had spent the previous night with his mother and father, Joseph. Jane had told Matthew that she would drive him home after breakfast.
Once Jane arrived at her son’s townhouse, which he shared with a male roommate, Matthew reportedly went upstairs to his room.
Matthew’s roommate told police that Jane and Matthew arrived at the townhouse Friday morning. He said Jane was in good spirits and was “being friendly and greeting him.”
He added that Matthew seemed “distant and unemotional.” Jane went upstairs to Matthew’s room and the roommate says he heard nothing for about 15 minutes. Then he says he heard loud stomping sounds which was followed by Jane screaming “no, no, no,” reports Pix 11.
The roommate ran to Matthew’s room and found Jane’s headless body on the bedroom floor.
The roommate says that he spoke to Matthew, who was still holding the 4-foot sword and led him downstairs “like a child” and asked him to sit on the couch. He then called 911.
Police arrived and found Matthew coming down the steps from his room. They asked him if he had killed his mother, and he replied, “Yes, but she’s not my real mother.” He was taken into custody with no issues.
Police state that there is no evidence that Matthew was adopted. Joseph Skalitzky told police that the attack “shocked” him and that his son did appear “anxious and agitated” at breakfast.
Joseph also stated that Matthew had been on a new medication but had stopped taking it after reading bad reviews online. He added that he believes that Matthew had started taking the pills again just a couple of days before the attack.
Police searched Matthew’s home and found the bloody 4-foot sword on the porch. They also found a machete and a .380 semi-automatic pistol with a laser sight.
Matthew was taken to a mental health facility.
