A stranger who broke into a family’s Kentucky home and murdered their six-year-old son has been freed from prison after serving just half of his sentence.
Ronald Exantus, 42, was released from prison early for good behavior after being sentenced in 2018 for stabbing Logan Tipton to death.
The killer traveled from Indianapolis to Versailles on the night of December 6, 2015 then randomly entered the Tiptons’ home as they slept.
The family said that Exantus, a former dialysis nurse, was a complete stranger to them and gained access to the home through an unlocked door.
Armed with a large kitchen knife, he launched a vicious attack on the household, murdering Logan and severely injuring his father and two young sisters.
Logan was stabbed repeatedly in the head with such rage that the blade of the butcher’s knife bent out of shape. {snip}
He was sentenced to 20 years in 2018 after being found not guilty by reason of insanity for murdering Tipton. He was deemed guilty but mentally ill on assault charges.

One of Logan’s sisters, Dakota, told the outlet that Exantus stabbed her in the back and then proceeded to stomp on her head.

The boy’s father Dean Tipton said the sentence handed down was inadequate regardless of Exantus’s mental state at the time.
He said: ‘You took a human being’s life, not just a human being, a six-year-old boy who had yet to even… to begin to live.
‘As a father, I fear that he may come back and try to finish what… because, if I remember right, he told Koral [Logan’s other sister] that he was going to kill everyone.’

Exantus told officers he had seen a sign for a Gray Street and it reminded him of the medical TV show ‘Grey’s Anatomy’.
He told police at the time that he believed he needed to ‘re-enact surgery’ inside the Tiptons’ home and that the street name ‘made him think of knives for surgery’.
