What They Made A 90yr Old Man Drink Before Killing Him Is Beyond Ghoulish…

This is absolutely tragic! How can someone heartless do this very brutal way of killing an elderly veteran? 

A 91-year-old immigrant from Poland, who lived his adult years in Detroit. He survived combat in World War II and was a productive member of society for all those years on earth.

Now, he was beaten to death.

Paul Monchnik who was found beaten and burned to death in his home may have been force-fed a flammable liquid before he was set on fire, an assistant Wayne County medical examiner testified at a hearing for the teen accused of the killing.

“It would have to come through the mouth,” Dr. Kilak Kesha testified in 36th District Court. “The victim could have drank it or (had it put into his open mouth while he was unconscious).”

91-year-old Monchnik died in a horrific burglary attack that shocked the whole world. His body was discovered in his home early morning when police and fire personnel responded to a fire at the home.

The body, which was located near the front door of the living room area, had been doused with gasoline and set on fire.

George Steward, a teen who lived with his grandfather next door to Monchnik, had entered the latter’s home, beat him, and lit him on fire.

Paul had burns on about 80% of his body, and there was about one-fifth cup of gasoline found in his stomach. The veteran also had a skull fracture, three cutting injuries on the back of his left hand, and two broken ribs on the left side of his body.

The horrific murder of Paul’s distraught son, Scott Monchnik, 56. Just after the murder, he asked for the public’s help to track down the suspect and help ‘get this scum off the streets’.

The sight of his childhood home consumed in flames and the blood-soaked floor where his dad had been beaten Scott Monchnik described as “a scene from hell”, according to The Detroit News.

This image, as well as the “terrible sickening feeling I get thinking that my dad’s last hour on Earth was filled with horror and pain,” left Scott and his family “traumatized”.

Weeks later, the Detroit police announced charges against 17-year-old George Steward of Detroit.

Police believe Steward used the fuel to try and cover his tracks. Thankfully, it didn’t work out as well as he planned. Steward was found and arrested by local authorities and jailed.

He was charged with first-degree murder, felony murder, and Arson.

Monchnik was a longtime Detroiter, World War II veteran, and self-employed television repairman for more than 50 years. Family members say he lived alone in the house.

Scott Monchnik described his father as a “good and gentle man” who had hoped to live to see 100 years old.

“This man (Steward) has created a hole in all of us that is filled with anger and hatred, fear and loss,” Scott said. “You have taken something that was not yours to take.”
