Man Sentenced for Murder After Claiming Possession | Glasgow News
Description
A 35-year-old man, Gabriel Brown, has been sentenced to at least 23 years for a horrific murder: he stabbed Joseph Johnston 22 times, severed his finger, cooked it, and set the house on fire—claiming demonic possession by Aleister Crowley. Brown, who had never met his victim, targeted him over a perceived wrong against his stepmother. During trial, he confessed to carving letters into the victim’s face and even admitted eating the finger as a “favor.” The judge called the attack sustained, merciless, and vicious. Brown’s mental health history and substance use were cited, but the court found no excuse for the brutality. He was arrested at his stepmother’s home after a chilling crime spree that shocked the community.
