OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Court officials say Nikko Jenkins, the man convicted of killing four people in separate attacks in 2013, has again mutilated his face.
But, the Omaha World-Herald reports, he botched his attempt to carve into his forehead the numbers "666" — often viewed as a symbol for the devil. Officials say that because he was looking in a mirror when he carved the numbers, they came out backward.
Jenkins recently referenced the self-mutilation in a hearing, saying he's not receiving mental illness treatment. He asked Douglas County District Judge Peter Bataillon to order the Nebraska State Patrol to investigate. Bataillon declined.
Jenkins was convicted of four first-degree murder counts last year. His sentencing, which might include the death penalty, has been delayed because of concerns about his competency.
