SUN PRAIRIE, Wis (WSAU-Wheeler News) A Sun Prairie man is suspected of using a four-foot-long sword to behead his mother. 40-year old Matthew Skalitzky was arrested soon after he allegedly killed 68-year-old Jane Skalitzky last Friday. Online court records do not list charges in the case as of this morning.
Reports indicate that the suspect spent the night at his parents’ house before his mother drove him home. After the incident, officials say Skalitzky gave the sword to a roommate who then called 9-1-1. His father tells police Skalitzky stopped taking his medications after reading about issues with the drugs — but he started taking them again a couple days before the killing.
