Jared Dicus finally admits to being responsible for his wife's murder.
Jared James Dicus, 21, was arrested by the police in connection with an incident that occurred in his household on January 11.
Waller County Sheriff Troy Guidry stated that detectives discovered Diaz's death on Wednesday afternoon inside a residence the couple shared in a rural region near Magnolia, which is 44 miles northwest of Houston.
Dicus was arrested and charged with first-degree murder for the slaying and decapitation of his wife, Anggy Diaz, who was also 21 years old.
Jared Dicus Admits To Murder
According to NBC News, in a press conference, Guidry stated that Dicus was questioned away from the scene at the sheriff's office in order to give his witness testimony.
He provided a comprehensive confession and acknowledged having committed the crime.
It all started when the deputies received a call from the Waller County Sheriff's Office at approximately 4:35 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 11.
A suspected fatality had been reported at a residence located on Oak Hollow Boulevard in Waller County, according to the call.
Following the arrival of investigators at the property, the police found the body of a girl in a tiny residential building that was situated behind the main residence.
The officials have determined that the woman's body was also disfigured in some way. The murder weapon that was used, according to investigators, appears to have been a kitchen knife.
After the sheriff's deputies came, he was taken into custody at the site. It was said that Dicus was the husband of the woman lying on the site, and he was suspected to have had something to do with the crime.
Anggy Diaz's Murder
According to TODAY, Diaz and Dicus moved into a tiny cabin that was located behind Dicus' parents' house. This cabin is thought to be the location where the murder took place.
Following the parents' search of the residence and discovery of the deceased, Dicus's father contacted the authorities.
The crime scene was drenched in blood, and the corpse of Diaz was found to have been mutilated when the deputies arrived.
Dicus was brought into custody, and he is now charged with murder in the first degree. His bond has been set at $500,000 while he is being held in custody at this time.
According to CBS, Anggy Diaz is an immigrant from Nicaragua who has been keeping two jobs in order to contribute financially toward the cancer treatment of her mother.
On the day that Diaz's body was discovered, a surveillance video from the shop where she worked appeared to show his husband arriving at the parking lot at around 11:40 a.m. on that day.
It seems as though the camera captures him entering the store, picking up a beer, having a quick drink, and then leaving in his car.
