　訴追状によると、マシュー・テイラー・コールマン容疑者（４０）はカリフォルニア当局に対し、自らの行いが悪いことであると理解していたものの、「世界を救う唯一の方法だった」と語った。
　コールマン容疑者は、２歳の息子と生後１０か月の娘を連れてメキシコに入国し、２人を殺害。米国に帰国した際に逮捕され、国外での米国民殺害の罪で訴追された。
　容疑者の妻は今月７日、夫が子どもらを連れて自宅を出た際に異変に気づいた。容疑者は２人をキャンプに連れて行くと言ったものの、行き先は明かさず、通話やメールに応答しなかった。容疑者はチャイルドシートを持っていくこともなかった。
　警察が８日にｉＰｈｏｎｅの「探す」アプリで容疑者の居場所を追跡したところ、最終位置情報がメキシコのロサリトと示された。連邦捜査局（ＦＢＩ）は９日、国境を越えて米国入りした容疑者を逮捕した。
　コールマン容疑者は、水中銃で子ども２人を殺害し、遺体をメキシコに遺棄したと自供。遺体はメキシコ当局により発見された。
　訴追状によると、容疑者は「子どもたちがモンスターに成長すると信じていたため、殺さなければいけなかった」と供述。「Ｑアノンとイルミナティの陰謀論に啓蒙（けいもう）され、幻影やお告げを受け取る」ようになり、妻が持つ「蛇のＤＮＡ」が子どもたちに受け継がれたとの啓示を受けて「モンスターから世界を守る」ために犯行に及んだと話している。【翻訳編集ＡＦＰＢＢＮｅｗｓ】

An American father charged with killing his two children with a spear fishing gun claims he was enlightened by QAnon and other conspiracy theories and was saving the world from monsters who had serpent DNA, a federal complaint said.
Matthew Taylor Coleman, 40, told authorities in California he knew he was doing wrong, but that it was the only course of action that would save the world, the complaint prepared by federal agents said.
Coleman was charged Wednesday with taking his children, aged two years and 10 months, to Mexico and killing them there before returning to the United States, where he was arrested.
The children's mother first raised the alarm on August 7 when Coleman took them from the home they shared. He had said he was taking them camping, but refused to tell her where and did not answer calls or text messages. He also did not have a child car seat with him.
A day later police tracked him using the Find My iPhone app, which showed his last known location as being in Rosarito, Mexico.
When he crossed back in to the United States the next day he was detained by the FBI at the border.
Coleman confessed to shooting both his children with the spear fishing gun and leaving their bodies in Mexico, where they were found by Mexican authorities.
He stated that he believed his children were going to grow into monsters so he had to kill them, according to the complaint.
He told agents that he was enlightened by QAnon and Illuminati conspiracy theories and was receiving visions and signs revealing that his wife ... possessed serpent DNA and had passed it on to his children, it continued.
He told federal law enforcement he believed he was saving the world from monsters, the complaint said.
Coleman was charged with the foreign murder of US nationals.
