A member of the trans vegan ‘death cult’ has been charged with the brutal murder of her parents on her 30th birthday in Philadelphia.
Michelle Zajko, 33, has been accused of the murder of Richard and Rita Zajko, who were gunned down on December 31, 2022.
Zajko, who is transitioning from female to male, was found to have ties to the so-called Zizians. The group, many of which being transgender, are known to be ‘rationalist’ vegans who are said to hold ideological beliefs about transhumanism and animal rights.
A string of brutal and deadly incidents followed alleged members of the Zizians, including an attack on an 80-year-old man who later died.
The charges against Zajko come after a neighbor’s doorbell footage from the New Year’s Eve murder captured a voice shouting, ‘Mom!’ and another who was heard exclaiming, ‘Oh my god! Oh, God, God!’
Zajko had allegedly received a text message from her mother who was looking to mend their relationship after they had become estranged earlier that year, according to Rouse.
The couple’s bodies were discovered on January 2, 2023, in their Pennsylvania home
