A father accused of gunning down his three young sons 'ripped' his three-year-old boy from his mother's arms
'He ripped the child from his mother's arms': Father who 'slaughtered' his three sons, 3, 4 and 7, is indicted for murder as court hears he 'put a bullet in the head' of the youngest - as prosecutor vows to 'have him executed'
A father accused of gunning down his three young sons 'ripped' his three-year-old boy from his mother's arms, a court heard today as he was indicted for murder
Chad Doerman, 32, denied murdering his sons Clayton, 7, Hunter, 4, and Chase, 3, at the Clermont County courthouse in Ohio on Friday.
Prosecutor Mark Tekulve told reporters outside the courtroom how Doerman 'slaughtered his three children in the most brutal fashion you can imagine' with a rifle at their home in Monroe Township on June 15.
'My goal is to have this man executed for slaughtering these three little boys,' he said. 'It is an incomprehensible act of horror that he perpetrated on this family.'
Tekulve earlier told the judge that Doerman 'ripped' the 3-year-old from his mother's arms and 'put a bullet in his head.' He said the father 'gunned down' the 7-year-old 'from behind' as he tried to flee and then executed the helpless boy when he fell.



During the deadly shooting rampage, Doerman's wife, who was not identified, was shot in the hand while trying to shield her children from the gunfire.
Her 14-year-old daughter, who was not injured, ran down the road screaming, 'my stepfather is killing everybody in her house.'
He now faces 21 counts: nine counts of aggravated murder and 8 counts of kidnapping and four counts of felonious assault for the June 15 deaths of his sons, according to Clermont County court records.
Tekulve said Doerman killed four-year-old Hunter first, then shot seven-year-old Clayton after he ran into a field behind the home, and then killed youngest, 3-year-old Chase, 'ripping him from his mother's arms,' WLWT-TV reported.
He said his most important focus right now is to make sure the family is safe and protected and can find peace someday.
'The proof is evident and the presumption is great that he be held without bail,' Tekulve said.
The judge then ruled Doerman be held without bond. The next court date is set for July 5 for a pre-trial hearing.
At Doerman's arraignment on Thursday prosecutors described how he had 'hunted' down one of the boys who fled before bringing him back to the house and shooting him.
David Gast, Clermont County´s chief prosecutor of Municipal Court, called the killlings the worst crime he'd ever seen.
'This was the man that everyday they woke up looking to for protection, love and guidance in all things.
'He was their world, he was their guardian and he executed them in cold blood. Continue reading
