Actor decapitates mother with Freemason sword in Masonic and "Matrix-inspired" attack

Michael Brea, an aspiring Haitian-American actor whose most widely publicized role was a walk-on in the TV series Ugly Betty, is reported to have slashed his mother to death with a sword on Tuesday, November 23, after attending a Masonic Lodge meeting in Harlem.

In an interview the NY Daily News managed to score inside Bellevue's prison ward, Brea describes the killing as having been inspired by the Matrix films. He identified with the character Neo (doesn't everyone?).

During the attack, neighbors heard him chanting "Repent! Repent! Repent!," and other commands involving accepting Jesus, and referring to "The Grand Architect," a Masonic term for God.

Neighbors say the NYPD were slow to respond: they came while the attack was under way, stood around, refused to break down the door of the apartment where the attack took place until it was too late—even leaving the scene of the crime, then returning when Brea's mother Yannick was finally dead.

"I didn't kill her. I killed the demon inside her. It was the work of God," he says in the NY Daily News interview.

More today in the New York Times. Michael Brea's twin brother lived in the home where Brea reportedly killed their mother, as did Michael, but the brother was not home at the time.

According to reports, Brea was a failed Subway sandwich shop owner, and owed the franchise (and the state tax board, and various creditors) tens of thousands of dollars. There is some speculation that "money woes" were a contributing factor (though, heaven help us all if that becomes a defense in this economy...)

From a profile on befim.com, described as a "Haitian Internet Movie Database"—

"Growing up, my father used to tell me these great stories about Haiti and how we gained our independence in 1804. I am fascinated and proud to be Haitian-American. Which is the reason why I made it into film! I want my fellow American brothers and sisters to know the history of Haiti. I want to report the history of both worlds (Haiti and America) through film."
In 2007, Michael L Brea opened a "Subway" restaurant located at 1709 Broadway Brooklyn N.Y 11207. His objective was to provide A healthier choice and to contribute to the development of urban communities. Giving out over 300 turkey footlong sandwiches on Thanksgiving of 2008, was an act no other subway has ever done!
"I remember growing up," Michael says, "and my mother was always feeding people who were less fortunate. My parents raised me to always share and to give charity in the name of GOD!"

Brea's father is reported to also be a Freemason. I'm seeing responses on a number of (unofficial) Freemasonry blogs seeking to distance the centuries-old organization from the attack—one early news report I can't seem to find right now quoted one Mason as saying that the Harlem lodge Brea attended wasn't officially sanctioned.

I'll be interested to see if there's some sort of official response from some quarter of the group. No, not all Masons are delusional, psychotic murderers. Nor are all struggling actors, or fans of the Matrix motion picture series, or Subway sandwich store managers.

There are crime scene photos around if one wants to Google them, including the bloody murder weapon described variously as a "ritual Masonic sword" and "a martial arts sword." I'd recommend the NMA video instead of the gruesome photos, though they're equally creepy now that I think about it.

I’m sorry, but the masonic angle is a total beatup.
As a sword collecter and amateur blackmith I was interested to see this sword.
Its not a masonic sword.
Its not a katana.
Its some sort of cheap nasty fantasy sword thing that D&D players used to bring to games. Except some maniac has had it (not too expertly) sharpened along both edges.
It may have been a martial arts sword at one stage -it has a double handgrip, a blunt tip and what looks like leather washers for a grip.
If it was “stolen from a lodge” as I have read, let me suggest its some sort of voudoun/santeria/solar-temple type lodge -ie not connected with freemasonry. Freemasons would be ashamed to have a piece of junk like that in a lodge, it would be like a west-pointer passing out parade with machetes

Why oh why oh why can’t any murderers who use religion as a defense be put to death immediately, as a matter of course, with the parting message of “and now you can find out from the Man Himself if you were right!”
- Mitch
  
  Yeah, more killing will make things better!
  
  Why do you think he is using religion as a defense? He hasn’t even been indicted yet, let alone formulated a defense.
  
  There is a difference between having religious delusions and using religion as a defense. He didn’t kill her because of religion. He killed her because he has a disease which affects his brain and causes him to have delusions which seem very real and compelling.

don’t you all know the little people worship actors! of course it is relevant – cuz we can not fathom how someone who has it all, (obviously, he is an actor), would give up his completely fake & wonderful life and have a moment of sanity to care about the demon that was in his mother for years…

it is really a tragic love story.. he finally cared and noticed his mom’s issues and dealt with them, in the only, matrix-auditioning way he knew

My mom has a friend who’s into lots of “conspiracy theory” stuff and thinks that Freemasons are behind all of the evil in the world. I can’t wait to hear her take on this.

First of all, he stabbed her to death with a Katana type sword, not a “Masonic ceremonial sword.” This was a case of an individual with obvious mental issues using the delusions of religion to commit murder, not any sort of “Masonic conspiracy.” There is nothing in the rituals of Freemasonry that would condone such behavior, much the opposite, in fact. I would know, as I am a Mater Mason.

Freemasonry is a vast spectrum of groups, with many existing only in the minds of their creators and detractors. I’m going to speculate that this particular lodge was a “Prince Hall” lodge, and probably not recognized by the Grand Lodge of New York (the governing body of most Masons in New York (90%+). Some Prince Hall organizations are recognized by the State Grand Lodges, but most are not.

Until just the last two decades Freemasonry was mostly segregated. Black members joined Prince Hall Masonic lodges, which operated independently of the dominant American Grand Lodge systems that excluded them. Some were recognized by the English Masonic system (United Grand Lodge of England).

Prince Hall lodges tend to be smaller (less than a 100 members), and composed of closely knit families. It is very much a family affair, with groups and activities for everyone. It tends to be a larger part of the lives of it’s members, governing their interactions closely. Conversely it can also be coercive and cultic. You’ll find the Nation of Islam has Prince Hall roots. Freemasonry provides a model of organization that may otherwise be lacking in a community.

Would BB have bothered to mention his profession if it wasn’t “aspiring actor”? Would BB have bothered with this story if it didn’t have some slight notoriety factor?

(I hope yes to the latter. I bet no on the former.)
- http://www.xeni.net Xeni Jardin
  
  Oh, give me a break. What a silly criticism. The fact that he was an actor (credited with minor parts on a number of films, commercials, and at least one TV show) is relevant to the story. If he were a butcher, a janitor, or a child care worker, I’d have mentioned this too.
  - Mitch
    
    Mentioning that he is an actor adds some interest to the story (perhaps you have seen him on TV!), and I’m not really offended that it was mentioned, but I don’t think it’s actually relevant.
    
    The fact that he was mentally ill and prone to delusions that caused him to be violent is relevant.
    
    The fact that the police could have stopped the killing but chose not to intervene is relevant.
    
    His attempt at an acting career really has nothing to do with his crime. It doesn’t have to be relevant to be worth mentioning, though. It does make me a little more curious about the story than I otherwise would have been and it also makes me a little more curious to see episodes of Ugly Betty to see if the guy looks like a killer.

    But if he were a baker or a candlestick maker? What then, Xeni? WHAT THEN???
  - technogeek
    
    Sorry, Xeni, but I fail to see how his being an actor is particularly relevant. Insanity is insanity, and is orthogonal to profession.
    
    And my real point is that, if he wasn’t an actor and/or a mason and/or a failure(which I grant might be symptoms but which I doubt are causes), the story wouldn’t be phrased as it is.
    
    The REAL story here is whether the police were slow to respond and why. The rest is sensationalism.

    In the early morning hours of May 27, 1991, 14-year-old Konerak Sinthasomphone (by coincidence, the younger brother of the boy whom Dahmer had molested) was discovered on the street, wandering naked, heavily under the influence of drugs and bleeding from his rectum. Two young women from the neighborhood found the dazed boy and called 911. Dahmer chased his victim down and tried to take him away, but the women stopped him. Dahmer told police that Sinthasomphone was his 19-year-old boyfriend, and that they had an argument while drinking. Against the protests of the two women who had called 911, police turned him over to Dahmer. They later reported smelling a strange scent while inside Dahmer’s apartment, but did not investigate it. The smell was the body of Tony Hughes, Dahmer’s previous victim, decomposing in the bedroom. The two policemen did not make any attempt to verify Sinthasomphone’s age and failed to run a background check that would have revealed Dahmer was a convicted child molester still under probation. Later that night, Dahmer killed and dismembered Sinthasomphone, keeping his skull as a souvenir.

It was very polite of the police to not interrupt and wait until he was DONE killing his mother. It surely would’ve been rude to just barge in…

So, if you are SUSPECTED of having drugs, police will kick in your door in the dead of night, shoot your dog, and beat you. But if you are murdering someone, they’ll come back later.

Yeah, our police force has its priorities straight.
- rebdav
  
  There is no possibility of civil forfeiture in traditional ‘real crimes’ like rape, murder, false imprisonment, assault, and arson especially if the victim is not wealthy or well connected. Fake new crimes like sharing digital files, refusal to be cavity searched at the airport, drugs, carrying cash, photography, etc these all are good reasons to seize valuable property and bump an officers promotion possibility. It pays to fight fake crime, real crime just wastes cops valuable time that could be better used enforcing civilian attitude testing and illegally searching and seizing your stuff.
  - spocko
    
    This is an very interesting perspective and an excellent point I hadn’t thought about.
    
    I was just watching a tv show called “Intelligence”. In the show one of the surveillance guys says that the makes between 200-300 thousand dollars a year in a “slow year” because he gets 20-25 percent from the sale of seized property he helped with obtain.
    
    So when he helps nab a drug dealer’s helicopter he gets 25 percent of the proceeds when they sell it.
    
    So if you get to keep all that money and the money from seized property where do you think you will spend your energy?

    Great point guys, those kind of determinants shape a lot of the way crimes are prioritised.
    
    Compounded insanities: the insanity of a religion dominated mother-son relationship ending in a psychotic break and murder, couched within the bureaucratic insanity of a bunch of cops refusing to save a woman, despite the pleadings of her neighbours and the express permission of the building’s owners, because of ‘protocols’.

Anon is obviously ignored in the majority of these threads for being a troll, but I would advise people to hesitate before labeling this fellow “psychotic” or “schizophrenic” simply because no one knows what this fellow’s history is. Old-school brainwashing can lead people with no history of mental illness to commit horrible acts.

We also don’t know the history he has with his family. Obviously he may have some form of mental illness, which is the conclusion most people immediately jump to, but we don’t know if this violence that is due to abuse, drug use, or otherwise. Murder victims are not always innocent in their own attacks, even if they are mothers, and even if the attack is particularly brutal. Furthermore, people who mumble about god and demons are not always mentally ill. In fact, some people use this as a cover up to plead insanity and escape harsher prison sentences.

All I am asking is, don’t jump to conclusions before you know the actual facts, if only to stop stigmatizing non-violent people with mental disorders.

The “FreeMasons” are a secret society of devil worshippers posing as something that “opened” to Christianity. It’s so so sad that things like this happen but Satan, the great deceiver(as the FreeMasons also are because they practice his ways)wants nothing more than to deceive as many people through this organization as possible to follow in the same traditions and do as this young man unfortunately did. His mission is to kill, steal and destroy!

But the good news is that the REAL JESUS came to give you LIFE and that MORE ABUNDANTLY. If you ask him to come into your heart today and be your Savior, he will! You will have eternal life in heaven and peace on earth. YOu can know the voice of The TRUE LIVING GOD from the enemy! God will NEVER tell anyone to do anything contrary to his will! “Thou Shall Not Kill!”

Just say Jesus, come into my heart and be my Savior today! I believe that you alone are The Son of God and that you died for my sins and are alive in heaven right now and seated at God’s right hand. I repent of sin by choosing to turn from it. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. in your name, Amen!”

I have a Knights of Columbus sword which I imagine is pretty similar to the Freemason sword, and while it is pretty sharp for what it is you’d have to work your ass off to decapitate someone with it. Maybe she had a Buffyverse demon in her that made it easier to cut her head off?

I assume that since this is a legitimate expression of his faith that he will be found not guilty? What is the legal process in the USA for determining whether someone is following the word of their god, versus insane? With 80%+ of Americans identifying as Christians, I would hope they’ll be sympathetic to what God asked him to do.

But seriously, at what point does “the word/demand of God” become reasonable doubt? I mean, there’s plenty of stuff like this in the holy books of the world, and with a majority of people claiming to believe in these books, it doesn’t seem that unreasonable a defense.

I recall reading some years ago that Subway’s business model has nothing to do with sandwiches, and everything to do with getting totally unqualified people to open locations that may or may not succeed, because no matter what, they’re on the hook for tens of thousand of dollars. IIRC, Subway selects the location for the franchisee, rents/buys the location themselves, and then sublets it to the franchisee. So they’re all about getting totally unqualified tenants.

Dang, I wish I could remember what publication it was that uncovered this. It was probably 5-10 years ago.

this is a textbook psychotic episode and a true tragedy. I wish there were more awareness about the symptoms of schizophrenia and a robust mental health system to help people before something like this happens. Any time a person in their teens or twenties starts getting paranoid or has certain types of delusions, people should think schizophrenia. It’s actually a very common illness affecting nearly 1% of the population.

Masonic swords are ceremonial. They have
no edge. That is to say, they are designed
to be worn and look nice, not to cut anything.

It is true that there is an officer placed
outside the door of a lodge meeting as an armed
guard, with a sword, but I can’t remember anyone
ever getting cut.

Come to think of it, the title of the guard’s
office is Tyler, or “cutter” (ie: tailor).

Still can’t remember anyone getting cut.

Instead of identifying him as an actor, perhaps he should have advertised himself as a failed â€œSubwayâ€ sandwich shop owner who gave out over 300 turkey footlong sandwiches on Thanksgiving of 2008 and claimed that was an was an act no other â€œSubwayâ€ has ever done.

Yes, this â€œwinnerâ€ was the first owner of a chain sandwich shop to give out free sandwiches on Thanksgiving Day. Thereâ€™s a 100% chance that has never happened before. Bravo! It took a couple of decades for anyone to think of doing that and he did. Kudos!

Also, anyone check out the sole one star review of said â€œSubwayâ€ on Google? Do a search for “1709 Broadway Brooklyn N.Y 11207″ and click on the review. Here, this will help.

This place is insane. I walk inside to get a meatball sub and items for my family, and the guy behind the counter hollers at me, “What you need, nigga!?!?”. I had my 12 year old daughter with me and my 72 year old grandfather. He didn’t toast my bread and the cheese wasn’t melted, he would not give my grandfather a senior discount after I asked him repeatedly, and he kept licking his lips when leering at my little girl. It was fucking gross so I began to get confrontational and asked him, Would you like to get fired today or get the shit kicked out of you? Because I could either talk with your manager or we could step the fuck outside. Your choice. Well, he started acting cool like he was sorry but then, when he did not put lettuce OR tomato on my daughter’s turkey sandwich, I took the items and threw them at him, told him I would not be paying for the meal, and walked out. He came outside with another employee after me and started yelling, “Yo mothafucka, you gonna get run up on, I ain’t playin’, fuck you and your bitches…..” etc. I just kept walking. Because how can I fuck them up with my family sitting around watching. I suggest you stay away from this place.

  where did you read: “quote: No, not all Masons are delusional, psychotic murderers….but a significant minority are…” ??
  
  must have missed that. But, alas, you surely know that any closed, initiatory order is going to be surrounded with a bit of misgiving as far as the public goes. Been that way since time immemorial.
  
  And, even more sadly, these groups will perhaps always be a bright light to unbalanced individuals. The OTO (to name one neo-masonic group) certainly draws more than its fair share. When we look at the IOT & other chaos magick groups..the ratio gets even higher. But, I digress..as the Masons aren’t (generally) magickians.

    I wasn’t aware that there were chaos magic groups (though I suppose one could consider the IOT one). The western occult groups, for some reason, pretty much all subscribe to the masonic-style graded initiation system, which I might argue lies anathema to the point of chaos magic (since it favors personal acts of syncretism over the imposed syncretism of, say, the OTO and G:.D:.).

How dare you mention the fact that the killer was male! This only serves to perpetuate the stereotype that men are more likely to commit violent crimes than women.

And your mention of his identification with Neo from The Matrix is clearly intended to paint all science fiction fans as insane.

And why did you feel the need to mention that the murder was committed in an “apartment”? Are you suggesting that violent crimes are more likely to be committed in apartments than in houses? Where is your evidence to back up this claim? I’ll bet you’re secretly being paid by the National Association of Homebuilders or the National Association of Realtors to plant stories designed to make people afraid to live in apartments so they’re more likely to buy a house.

And why mention that the guy had a twin brother? Are you trying to incite bigotry against twins? Shame on you, Xeni! I never would have pegged you as geminiphobic.

But what’s really offensive is that you implied that the killer was human, thus perpetuating the stereotype that humans are more violent than other species of animal. This is all part of your radical animal rights agenda, isn’t it?

I find all of this blatant bigotry utterly disgusting, and am tempted to stop reading Boing Boing (at least long enough to get another cup of coffee and maybe raid the refrigerator).
