A man who had the nerve to cut off his penis after carving 666 into his own head and then murdering people, has been punished for his crimes.
Nikko Jenkins, a 30-year-old murderer who cut off his own p*nis and carved 666 into his head to try to claim insanity was yesterday sentenced to death for murdering four people.
According to The Sun UK, Nikko Jenkins carried out a ruthless shooting spree in Omaha, Nebraska in August 2013.
Judges were told that he needed 27 stitches after he hacked at his penis as a tribute to an Egyptian god while in jail. He also sliced his tongue to resemble a snake.
After pleading no contest in 2014, tattooed Jenkins’ defense insisted he should get a more lenient sentence because his self-harm was evidence of psychosis.
But after lengthy assessments, a panel of three judges ruled that he knew right from wrong when he slayed his four victims.
Just 11 days after being released from a 10-year stretch in prison for carjacking, Jenkins shot and killed Juan Uribe-Pena and Jorge Cajiga-Ruizon on August 11.
Eight days later he killed former friend Curtis Bradford, and on August 21 he killed Andrea Kruger after pulling her from her SUV and shooting her four times.
Jenkins planned the killings to cover up robberies of the victims or to keep them from identifying him, prosecutors argued.
“Each one of these murders was a planned and deliberate act,” Douglas County District Judge Peter Bataillon said on Tuesday.
But Jenkins insisted the Egyptian serpent god Apophis had told him to make “human sacrifices”.
State psychiatrists repeatedly testified during the case that he was faking psychosis.
Nebraska Lawmakers abolished capital punishment in 2015, but it was overturned in a public ballot last November.
The last execution in Nebraska was carried out in 1997 when Robert Williams was sentenced to death by electric chair for killing two women in 1977.
As well as the death sentence, which under state law will automatically be appealed, Jenkins was handed at least 450 years for a dozen weapons counts.
The mother of one of his victims cried quietly as she left the courtroom.
Velita Glasgow, the mother of Curtis Bradford, said Tuesday’s sentence brought her closure.
“It’s time for me to heal,” she said. “I’m ready to put this behind me.”
