QAnon Dad Matthew Coleman, Who Allegedly Killed His 2 Kids Over 'Serpent DNA' Beliefs, Now 'Rambling' Incoherently Behind Bars: Report

Mar. 15, 2025

Matthew Taylor Coleman, a California surf instructor and QAnon follower accused of killing his two young children with a spearfishing gun in Mexico, remains incompetent to stand trial and “rambles” incoherently behind bars, according to a new report.

TheNew York Postreportsthat the 43-year-old is “nearly incomprehensible” and unable to assist in his own defense ahead of a looming hearing next week ahead of a potential trial.

The judge overseeing the case, Cathy Ann Bencivengo, has said that she won’t grant further extensions to Coleman’s defense to respond in court to the federal Bureau of Prisons' treatment plans.

Coleman is accused of killing his 2-year-old son Kaleo and 10-month-old daughter Roxy with a spearfishing gun in Mexico in August 2021. He has pleaded not guilty.

A farmer discovered the young children’s bodies in a remote part of the ranch in Baja California just hours later, police said.
