Dad kills sex offender stalking his daughter with moose antler

A Minnesota father turned himself in and confessed to fatally beating a convicted sex offender he believed had stalked his toddler daughter, the Star Tribune reported Friday.

“[Lawrence Scully] is a convicted pedophile, and him stalking and attempting to groom my daughter is completely inappropriate and needs to stop,” Levi Axtell reportedly wrote of Lawrence Scully in a request for a protective order in 2018.

Levi Axtell, a 27-year-old father from Grand Marais, was charged with second degree intentional murder after allegedly beating 77-year-old Lawrence Scully to death in Scully’s home on March 8, WTIP reported.
