MATTHEW Coleman has been accused of murdering his two young children with a spear gun in Mexico.

The 40-year-old killed them because he feared they had so-called Serpent DNA and would become monsters, an idea associated with QAnon conspiracy theory.

Who is Matthew Coleman's wife Abby?

Abby is the mother of the couple’s two-year-old son and 10-month-old daughter.

Coleman co-founded the surfing school Lovewater Surf Co in Santa Barbara, California with his wife. 

“Matt and Abby enjoy finding ways to better lives through surfing, experiential education and community-based projects,” says the school’s website.

The site is still live with pictures of Coleman and his smiling family. 

But Coleman said that he believed his children were going to grow into monsters so he had to kill them, according to a court document.

He said receiving visions and signs revealing that his wife possessed serpent DNA and had passed it on to his children, according to the affidavit.

Serpent DNA is a likely to be a reference to the "lizard people" conspiracy theory associated with QAnon.

What happened to Abby Coleman's children?

Coleman confessed to the FBI during an interview that he took his children to Rosarito, Mexico.

There he fired a spear fishing gun into their chests, according to an affidavit filed by an FBI agent with the criminal complaint.

Coleman was detained after his wife reported him missing to Santa Barbara police on Saturday.

His wife told police that her husband had left in the family's van and she wasn't sure where they were going.

An iPhone-finding application placed Coleman's phone in Rosarito on Sunday, and on Monday it was traced to an area of Mexico near the San Ysidro Port of Entry in San Diego, according to the affidavit.
