The suspect died when his silver merger exploded Ford outside the fertility clinic, tearing the building in half and destroying the windows in companies and nearby homes, according to the investigators.

Investigators discovered a worrying statement online and a 30 -minute audio recording that is likely to be associated with Bartkus, who revealed his extremist views against fertilization in the laboratory.

Investigators said that Partos had set up a triglyceride holder and a camera to document the attack, although the shots have never been loaded. Four passers -by were slightly injured in the explosion. The officials confirmed that the clinic was closed at that time and all the stored embryos remained safe.

Partos said that he had not seen his son for 11 years. He described his son as a person, at the age of nine, played with matches and set fire to the family’s home, although he was also known as a “good smart child”.

“After the house was burned down, it began to change a little, and he was lighting the fires,” said Partos, the Great through tears. “I was very strict for him, so he wanted to stay with my mother until the divorce came. My mom was lenient.”

The father expressed that his son was “a follower who was easily affected by others” instead of a leader. When he was a teenager, Jay Partoc was fascinated by making missiles and smoke bombs, according to his father.

The statement pointed to another crime – the death of the best friend of the suspect, which was determined only as Sufi, in Washington State. According to the statement, they participated in similar disturbing views.
