Escambia Man Charged With Trying To Suffocate His Mother, 86, With A Pillow
November 3, 2022
An Escambia County man has been charged with attempting to suffocate his 86-year old mother.
Christopher Jerome Asmar, 54, is charged with two counts of attempted homicide and two counts of aggravated battery on a person 65 or older.
A health care employee called Pensacola Police to report that she observed unexplained bruising on her client that appeared to happen overnight after her other caregivers had left the home for the evening. The caregiver decided to return to the home after hours to check on her client. When she arrived, she could hear a disturbance inside the home and looked inside a window.
She observed Asmar yelling at his mother, calling her names, and striking her with a pillow. He then took the pillow and placed it over his mother’s face and used his body weight in an apparent attempt to suffocate her, according to police.
Police were called and entered the home to find the victim appearing to be overwhelmed and disoriented.
Asmar was booked into the Escambia County Jail without bond.

May they keep her where she will never see him again! All of us who have lost our mother are sickened by a story like this. Now I understand why they are looking for foster homes for the elderly.
KUDOS to the healthcare worker and her “gut” feeling what was happening. Help the mother to remove this man.
Thanks goodness for the caregiver. We need more like her/him.
I lost my own mother two years ago and would give anything to have her back. Here’s this guy trying to kill his. He doesn’t need to go to jail, just in a hole six feet deep.
Oh the bright side, it appears he might have bumped his head a few times. Good job to the police officers who were there to make sure he didn’t do it too many times. I’m sure they intervened as soon as he started falling and banging his head into whatever he made contact with. I’m sure he was just really clumsy. Oh well, maybe he can get a bottom bunk.
I’d love to be his cell mate for just 5 min.
Low life piece of trash…
The best in humanity and the worst in humanity, all within a couple of paragraphs
Looks like someone popped him in the head to see if he had any brains when they should have kicked him in the tail.
Bravo to the health care employee/caregiver that returned due to her gut feeling. This woman’s life was saved by this unsung hero. Thankful that someone cared to get involved and save a life by going the extra mile. I hope his time in jail gives him a dose of his own medicine.
It’s a special place in Hell for you dude! Your Mother!
