Texas man accused of decapitating new wife seen driving to store where she worked and stealing beer

Surveillance video has been released which shows a man from Texas, suspected of having just killed his wife, calmly walking into the store where she worked, stealing a beer and then drinking it outside. 

According to the police, Jared Dicus, 21, confessed to murdering Anggy Diaz, his wife of less than four months, shortly after the police arrived at the gruesome scene. 

Diaz’s mutilated body was found at the couple’s home near the small town of Magnolia, northwest of Houston, with her head separated from the rest of the body, 

The video footage was taken at the Chepes Meat Market where Diaz worked, and shows Dicus’s car arriving around 11:40am.

He is seen wearing a T-shirt and jeans, grabbing a beer from the fridge, walking past the counter and out of the store, before taking a drink in the parking lot. 

The entire episode was caught on store security cameras.

Later that same day, investigators found the knife, which is believed to be the murder weapon, and Diaz’s missing severed head on the property. 

According to Waller County Sheriff Troy Guidry, later that same day, investigators found the knife, which is believed to be the murder weapon, and Diaz’s missing head on the property.  

Diaz was found dismembered and covered in blood as Dicus was arrested and confessed to the gruesome killing. 

The couple had been married for less than four months.

One of Diaz’s friends saw her at a Christmas party less than a month ago where Dicus stormed out.

‘Everyone was having a good time and he left looking really upset,’ the friend told the New York Post.

She believes that Diaz may have been subjected to  domestic violence.

‘She never said there were any problems; maybe she was just embarrassed to admit her relationship wasn’t perfect,’ she explained.

Guidry initially described the victim as a Hispanic woman and said investigators found  ‘a portion of a body, dismembered, and a residence that was covered in blood.’ 

A knife investigators believe to be the murder weapon was found at the home, along with Diaz’s head. 

The law enforcement officials said there had been prior incidents involving the couple.

‘There have been prior calls, disturbance-wise, but nothing to this effect, to this level of violence,’ Guidry told reporters on Thursday. 

The woman is believed to be dead since around 11pm the night before her body was found after Dicus’ family members called law enforcement to their home in the 200 block of Oak Hollow Boulevard.  The call came in around 4.45pm. 

The couple lived in a cottage behind his parents’ house outside of Houston.

Dicus’ parents told deputies their son came inside their home after he made statement that prompted them to check the cottage. 

The parents then found Diaz’s body and called 911. 

‘That’s the world we live in today, it’s a gruesome scene,’ Guidry said. ‘Both sides of these families will be altered by it.’ 

Diaz´s friends told KHOU-TV that she was an immigrant from Nicaragua who had been working two jobs to help pay for her mother’s cancer treatment back home.

Waller County Judge Trey Duhon said a statement on Facebook that he had married the couple in October.

‘That’s the world we live in today, it’s a gruesome scene,’ the Waller County sheriff said. ‘Both sides of these families will be altered by it’

Just two weeks ago, Diaz had posted a picture of herself and her husband on Christmas day to her Instagram, wishing her friends and family a ‘happy merry Christmas.’ 

‘Merry Christmas my beautiful wife,’ Dicus responded to the post, calling his wife a ‘trophy.’ 

Diaz last posted to Instagram on Tuesday, sharing a photo of her lunch just hours before investigators believe she was brutally killed by her husband.

The local judge who married the couple also shared a heartbreaking post remembering Diaz and stating his intention for taking down their marriage photo. 

‘As with many of you, I’m greatly saddened and shocked by the news of this tragic event and my prayers are with all of their families,’ Waller County Judge Trey Duhon said.   

‘Out of respect for the families, I have taken down my photo with the couple and the post announcing their marriage, primarily due to the insensitive nature of some comments that were being made on that post,’ he continued. 

The judge said he is ‘confident’ justice will be brought for Diaz and her family.  

‘This matter will now go through the our court system, and I am confident that the Waller County Sheriff’s Office and the Waller County District Attorney’s Office will see to it that justice is served,’ Duhon wrote.
