Zak Moyer is the man from Carbon County, Pennsylvania, who is suspected of using a knife and chainsaw to assault Edward Whitehead Jr., his neighbor, while donning the “Scream” mask from the horror film.
Moyer is charged with arriving at Whitehead’s residence “wearing a Halloween mask investigators describe as being consistent with the Scream movie character,” according to WNEP-TV.
According to Time News Online, Moyer is charged with using a chainsaw and a knife to strike the victim in the head while donning a mask and a “black costume-like garment, consistent with the ‘Scream’ movie character.”
He was seen on the television station slashing Whitehead Jr. “in the head with the knife before going back home and waiting for police to arrive.” He was also carrying a “small chainsaw.”
What you should know is as follows:
Edward Whitehead Jr., in Zak Moyer’s opinion, “killed women and children.” However, reports state that a relative disputes that.
Moyer reportedly told police that he thought the victim “killed women and children last summer,” but Jennifer, Whitehead’s niece, informed WNEP-TV that this is untrue.
According to Heavy’s acquisition of the court docket report, Zak Russell Moyer was charged on March 26. April 3 is when his preliminary hearing is set to take place. Lehighton, Pennsylvania was stated as the address for him.
The offense date was March 25, and the charge was classified as criminal homicide. The office of the district attorney for Carbon County is prosecuting him. As to the docket file, Moyer’s age is thirty. For more information, Heavy has been in touch with the Pennsylvania State Police. The identify of the suspect was confirmed in an addendum issued by the Pennsylvania State Police to their press release.
“One (1) count of Criminal Homicide was brought against and the suspect, identified as 30 year old Zak Russell Moyer of Lehighton Borough, Carbon County, was placed under arrest,” the update states.
According to a press statement issued by the Pennsylvania State Police on March 25, Lehighton Borough Police Department officers “responded to an address on Carbon Street, for a report of an assault in progress” around 3:30 p.m. that day.
After being struck by a piercing instrument, they discovered “a 59-year-old male who was located with life-threatening injuries.” After being taken to St. Luke’s, Carbon Campus, he was declared deceased.
The Pennsylvania State Police Troop N Major Case Team was asked by the Carbon County District Attorney’s Office to start an investigation. In custody is a suspect, according to the announcement. “There is no danger to the members of the community or general public nearby.”
A Neighbor Recorded Zak Moyer’s Arrest on Camera
Moyer’s arrest can be seen on a neighbor’s video.
Trooper Anthony Petroski said WFMZ-TV, “Edward Whitehead Junior was struck multiple times with a knife and a battery-operated chainsaw.”
“This was not a haphazard assault. Although Whitehead had never been accused of murder, Petroski informed the news station, “They did know each other.”
Moyer once placed a note up to the window that said, “Ed murdered women and kids,” while police tried to coax him out of his house. Eddie Junior killed women and children last summer, WFMZ reported. Moyer’s sister also told police that her brother had discussed killing the 59-year-old neighbor for a week.
It’s mind-numbing, and I doubt that anyone has ever really experienced it all at this time. The actual events that transpired were terrible, as stated by Edward Whitehead Jr.’s niece Megan Bernosky to WNEP-TV.
