 Assistant State Attorney Jennifer Dunton told the jury that examinations showed Wilson had either tried to slit older brother Tayten's throat multiple times or saw through his neck. Younger brother Robert's neck, meanwhile, appeared to have been slashed "end to end", resulting in near-decapitation. The boy's mother Sarah Baker recalled in her testimony seeing Wilson sharpening a knife outside the night before, one which authorities said would later be used to kill her children. Describing the horrific scene she found after the killings, Ms Baker told WJXT: "I ran over to Robert, and I'm screaming at him to call 911, and I rip his blanket off and all I can remember is){kind=link}
WARNING, GRAPHIC DETAILS: A man who murdered two boys by beating them with hammers and cutting their throats has been told he will face the death penalty, after a court heard how he confessed the crime to his own mum
A murderer who killed two boys by hitting them with a hammer and slitting their throats will face the death penalty.
Mark Wilson, 32, was found guilty earlier this month of the first-degree murder of 14-year-old Tatyen and 12-year-old Robert Baker, who died in the horrifying attack in August 2020.
He has now been handed a death sentence after a jury unanimously recommended the punishment on Friday following a long week of testimony.
Putnam County sheriff Kevin McConville described the murder scene as one of the worst he had ever seen.
