GRAND MARAIS, Minn. (AP) — A Minnesota man was charged Friday with fatally beating an elderly man previously convicted of child sexual assault, who he believed had stalked his young daughter in the past.

Levi Axtell, 27, was charged with second-degree murder in the death of Lawrence V. Scully, 77, who was beaten to death Wednesday at his home in Grand Marais.

A criminal complaint filed Friday said Axtell killed Scully with a shovel and a moose antler and then drove to the Cook County Sheriff’s office and confessed, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported.

At a video hearing on Friday, Axtell’s bail was set at $1 million.

Defense attorney Dennis Shaw noted during the hearing that Axtell had no serious criminal history until now and his longtime ties to Grand Marais made him a minimal flight risk.

Axtell remains jailed in Cook County. His next court appearance is scheduled for April 10.

In 2018, Axtell alleged that Scully was stalking his 22-month-old daughter and other children in his van, which he parked near her Grand Marais daycare.

Axtell sought an order of protection, which was granted but then dismissed within several weeks, according to court records.

In 1979, Scully was convicted in Kanabec County, Minnesota, of sexually assaulting a 6-year-old girl, according to Cook County Sheriff Pat Eliasen. He was released from prison in 1982.

On Wednesday, Axtell arrived at the sheriff’s office covered in blood and “put his hands on his head and said that he had murdered (Scully) with a shovel,” according to Friday’s criminal complaint.

Deputies found Scully in his home “obviously dead from the serious nature of his head wounds,” the charging document continued.

Axtell told law enforcement that he hit Scully 15 to 20 times with a shovel and then “finished him off” with a large moose antler.

He said he had known Scully for a long time “and believed him to have sexually offended against children in the past,” the complaint read. “(Axtell) said he had observed (Scully) parked in the vehicle at locations where children were present and believed he would reoffend.”

Eliasen said Friday there had been recent allegations against Scully, but an investigation “didn’t reveal anything. Most of the reports were regarding harassment.”

As democrats cause the legal system to fail more and more, you see more and more of this, that is, people just trying to maintain some level of law and order themselves.

I see absolutely nothing wrong here except he is in jail instead of being given a award for Pedo removal.

If I am on the jury he walks
 
Sorry, you good old-fashioned Christians, but, you can't kill someone because you think they may have done something in the past.
 
No, it was murder...No matter how you try to justify it.
You missed my point. We do put people to death in certain states. Probably manslaughter, as it is hard to see where someone premeditates killing someone with a moose antler.
 
Gee , this confirms republicans use to be for law and order. Now their new motto, Do as we say , not as we do.

You may have missed where the article said he beat him repeatedly with a shovel before finishing him with the moose antler? I'm not sure how that would constitute manslaughter. As the article also states, he's charged with second-degree murder.

The DA will have to reduce that to manslaughter or there will be no conviction. That is reality.

THE REAL STORY.......
"Lawrence Skully convicted of sexually molesting a 6 YEAR OLD girl.... served less than 3 years in prison.

THAT is the story. You have some lunatic social justice judge allowing this human garbage to serve less than 3 years for molesting a 6 year old.
If he would have been taken off the streets properly, or better got his ass killed in prison, he wouldn't be stalking this man's daughter.
