The biological father of the 'Deadpool killer' has shared the gruesome details about the moment he learnt his son was a killer.
Florida native Wade Wilson, 30 - dubbed the 'Deadpool killer' for sharing the same name as Ryan Reynolds' popular Marvel character - has been convicted of brutally murdering Kristine Melton, 35, and Diane Ruiz, 43, in 2019.
Wilson's case has gained a lot of traction across social media in the past couple of days, with the gruesome details of the heavily tattooed killer's crimes being reported on amongst true crime followers.

One particularly chilling moment from the trial saw the moment Wilson's biological father, Steven Testasecca, tell the court about a phone call where his son confessed to the crimes.
During the trial, Testasecca took to the stand to testify while his son watched on, detailing a conversation which took place over the phone on 6 October, 2019.
Testasecca revealed that Wilson confessed to Melton and Ruiz's killings during the call, telling his father that there were 'two people who were gone and would not be coming back'.
Testasecca then added that he initially didn't believe the confession, calling his son a 'good storyteller'.

During a later call, Testasecca revealed how Wilson went into detail about the killings, saying 'I choked that b***h' when talking about how he killed a sleeping Melton in her own home.
Melton was later discovered deceased in her own home, her body having been wrapped in sheets by Wilson.
Testasecca then went on to recall the graphic detail in which Wilson described Ruiz's horrifying murder.
Wilson had lured Ruiz into the car - which he had stolen from Melton - before strangling her and pulling her from the car.

"He said that he pulled her out of the car and realised she was still breathing," Testasecca told the court, adding: "He [then] said he got back in the car and ran her over until she looked like spaghetti."
When asked by the court about Wilson's demeanour on the calls, Testasecca revealed his son was 'excited' by his actions, adding that he didn't appear to show any remorse.
Testasecca then went on to add that he was concerned that Wilson would've 'done it again' if he hadn't turned him in to the police.
Following his trial, an emotionless Wilson was found guilty of brutally killing both Ruiz and Melton, with jurors at the Fort Myers courthouse voting for him to receive the death penalty for his crimes.
