Prosecutors say a man in Michigan killed his wife after receiving messages from QAnon members that she was a child sex trafficker working for the CIA.
Troy Burke, 45, admitted to shooting and killing his wife, Jessica Burke, 29, on January 27, 2021. Burke was found not guilty of one charge of homicide and one felony weapons charge by reason of insanity on February 7, according to court records obtained from the Gratiot County Circuit Court.
Burke underwent two psychiatric evaluations, both of which determined he was not competent for trial, reported ABC affiliate ABC-12 News. He will be sent to the Michigan Center for Forensic Psychiatry for more testing and may spend the rest of his life in a mental institution, according to the outlet.
Burke was convinced he was getting messages from people in QAnon circle telling him to eliminate his wife, according to court records seen by NBC-25 News. Prosecutors said that Burke believed his wife was a transgender offspring of President Joe Biden and that she was a CIA-linked child sex trafficker. He also told authorities that a neuro-link had been inserted into his brain that allowed people to access his thoughts.
Gratiot County prosecutor Keith Kushion also told the court that Burke had a documented history of hospitalizations for mental health issues, per NBC-25 News.
