Convinced that his two sons had "snake DNA," an American supporter of the QAnon conspiracy movement was charged Wednesday with murder, according to official documents.

Matthew Taylor Coleman, 40, said he knew he was doing wrong, but that

"it was the only way to act to save the world,"

according to the lawsuit filed against him by federal agents.

Coleman has been accused of taking his children, aged two years and 10 months, to Mexico and killing them there before returning to the United States, where he was detained, according to a statement from the California attorney general's office.

The children's mother sounded the alarm for the first time on August 7, when Coleman took them away from the home they shared.

He had said they would go camping, but he refused to tell her where and did not answer calls or texts.

Nor did he put the chairs in the car to transport them.

A day later, the Police located him through the "Find My iPhone" application, which indicated that his last known location was Rosarito (Mexico).

When he crossed back into the United States the next day, he was stopped by the FBI at the border.

Coleman confessed to shooting his two sons with a speargun and leaving their bodies in Mexico,

where they were found by Mexican authorities.

He claimed that he "believed his children were going to turn into monsters, so he had to kill them," according to the lawsuit.

He told agents that he was "enlightened by the conspiracy theories of QAnon and the Illuminati and that he was receiving visions and signals that revealed that his wife ... possessed snake DNA and had passed it on to her children."

In his statements to federal authorities, Coleman insisted that he believed he was "saving the world from monsters."

The man has been charged with the murder abroad of US citizens.
