The father pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity but a jury found him guilty last week. In a taped confession played during the trial, Jones told investigators that his middle child, Nahtahn, 6, died accidentally on August 28, 2014, after Jones made him do squats and pushups as a punishment for breaking some electrical outlets.

Court-appointed psychiatrist Dr Richard Frierson testified that Jones told him a "gremlin voice" had told him to kill the remaining four children. Jones did not appreciate the moral wrongness of his actions, defence lawyer Boyd Young told jurors.
