Michael Brea allegedly killed mother with Freemason sword

More details surrounding the slaying of 55-year-old Yannick Brea are
leaking out. Her son, actor Michael Brea, has been accused of the
crime.
Despite initial reports that Brea's mother had been decapitated with a
samurai sword, the New York Daily News is now reporting that the
weapon was actually a ceremonial Masonic sword that the actor
allegedly took after a Monday night meeting of Freemasons.
"Something happened that made him do it," Brea's uncle told the New
York Daily News. "The devil entered him."
A police source also told the paper that Brea said he saw the devil in
his mother and accused her of never accepting Jesus. As he was being
led away by police, Brea allegedly yelled, "The greatest architect in
the universe!" -- a term sometimes used by Masons to represent a
supreme being.
TMZ adds that Brea had to be subdued with a Taser before he was taken
to a hospital for psychiatric evaluation. He will reportedly be turned
over to the NYPD once that evaluation is complete.
