A Louisiana man who had a “rocky relationship” with his stepfather decided to murder the 66-year-old at his home, with voice recordings sent by the suspect to his brother on Facebook detailing how the slaying went down, cops say.

“I put a hammer in my pants and everything,” Ian Seghers, 34, of Baton Rouge, allegedly told his sibling in one of the recordings, according to local ABC and CBS affiliate WLOX. Seghers’ brother, Sean Crawford, played the recordings for the outlet after sending them to the police, WLOX reports.

“Walked up in that b— to do it,” Seghers allegedly said.

Cops allege Seghers murdered his stepdad, Walter Rowland, sometime around March 9, which is when the victim was reported missing after he missed a weekly visit with his sister. Rowland’s body has never been found.

Seghers’ arrest warrant and affidavit, which were obtained by local media outlets this week, describe the pair as having a “rocky relationship” leading up to Rowland’s murder, according to CBS affiliate WAFB. The arrest warrant details how Seghers allegedly asked in his voice recordings for someone to help clean up the murder scene.

“He leaves these messages again and again also stated that he had to remove carpet because of the disgusting mess that was at this residence,” the warrant said, according to ABC affiliate WBRZ.

Crawford told WLOX he feels guilty about turning the recordings he received on Facebook Messenger over to local authorities, but he also knows it was the right thing to do. Cops confirmed to WAFB that they received the recordings, which helped lead to a charge of first-degree murder for Seghers.
