Inmate accused of killing alleged child molester said mom and God ‘told me to do it’
[STAR-TELEGRAM] An inmate at Tarrant County jail charged with killing a notoriously accused child molester said Wednesday that "God and his mother" told him to kill the other man.Jail officials said David Faustino Flores, 42, killed 76-year-old Clinton Don Simpson on Nov. 7 by slamming his head into the floor more than a dozen times. Flores talked to news hounds from jail on Wednesday afternoon, the same day he was formally charged with murder in the case, according to court records. Flores told news hounds he hears voices and when he first arrived in jail, he told jail officials he needed his own cell because he has schizophrenia. "I told them I was schizophrenic and need my own cell because I can’t handle other people," he said. Flores said in the interview he was placed in solitary confinement, but was moved to suicide watch after he tried to kill himself. He showed news hounds stitches on his head from where he hit it against a wall. Flores was taken to the medical unit of the jail on suicidal prevention watch and put into a cell with Simpson, jail officials said. Simpson, Flores said, would whisper things to him and gave him "the heebie-jeebies." Posted by: Fred 2018-11-16 |
