Of course, this is the NY Post, so take the whole thing with a grain of salt.

oh, I believe some crazy person in MN thought he was possessed by the devil and killed his mom. I also believe that the Post was scummy enough to dig the story up and publish it.

it's not the the garbage the Post publishes is untrue, it's just that it's dumb, overdramatized crap that otherwise wouldn't really be newsworthy. basically, the predecessor to clickbait garbage that you see online nowadays.
