Late 51-year-old pastor Israel Ahimbisibwe’s killer son, 20-year-old Isaac Tiharihondi has pleaded guilty to two counts of capital murder in the killing of his, father and mother, 47-year-old Dorcus Ahimbisibwe, in their Houston apartment, before being sentenced to life in prison, without parole.
Prosecution says Tiharihondi of Ugandan origin killed his family of an Episcopal priest by beating his parents to death with a lamp, baseball bat and hammer, before also fatally stabbed his five-year-old brother Israel Jr.
While in court on Monday this week, he admitted to what he did and also thanked his supporters before he was sentenced.
Court documents say this monster (Tiharihondi) told his family days before the killings that he was about to report for duty with the Marine. Unfortunately, his parents thought it was a lie and planned to confront him.
Police say the U.S. Marine Corps had no record of Tiharihondi ever enlisting. The family was found dead beneath towels and blankets in the bathroom of their west Houston home on February 2, 2015, after they failed to attend church - but authorities believed at the time they had been murdered nearly a week before.
His young brother’s body was found in the bathtub, while rugs inside the apartment had been moved to hide blood stains, and there were other signs that the bodies had been moved or dragged, according to court documents.
Tiharihondi, who graduated from Memorial High School in 2014, shared the apartment with his parents and little brother, who they called 'Jay', KPRC reported.
The couple's third son, Emmanuel, 18, was attending private school in California at the time of the horrific murders.
