Alexis Valdez, 18 - one very creepy murdering decapitating SOB
Alexis Valdez, 18, has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of 41-year-old Silvestre Diaz-Hernandez.
Valdez moved in with his aunt and Diaz about six months ago. Valdez was allowed to move into the apartment, in the 2500 block of N. Kildare in Chicago, on the condition that he go to school, work and contribute to household expenses. But eventually, Valdez stopped working and he was asked to move out.
Valdez confessed to killing Diaz-Hernandez with a hammer, allegedly playing loud music and covering the apartment’s windows to mask the crime, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors allege Valdez then mutilated the body and decapitated the victim, leaving the head on his aunt’s bed.
“He wanted to ‘leave his aunt a present,’” Assistant State’s Attorney Kingsley Sawyer reportedly said.
Prosecutors allege Valdez called 911 to report a dead body. When the dispatcher asked whether he had attempted CPR, Valdez allegedly laughed and said the body had no head, reports the station.
Police reportedly discovered Valdez covered in blood. According to Sawyer, he told authorities, “If his aunt had come home, and seen the victim’s body, then he would have killed her as well.”
Friday, Valdez was ordered held without bond.
