SPAIN is in shock after a man recorded himself digging up and beheading his dead brother before sending the video to his mother and walking around town with it.
A man in Murcia has been arrested after digging up and beheading his brother in Aguilas, Murcia.
It is said he filmed the horrific act on his phone and sent it to his mother.
Upon receiving the images, she reported the incident to the police, but her son was already walking around the town holding his deceased brother’s head.
The man is believed to suffer from mental health issues.
His brother had died three years earlier and he was not involved in his death.
He has now been arrested, charged with desecration of a corpse.
However, he has not gone to jail but the Rafael Mendez Psychiatric Hospital.
After the mother reported the crime, agents went to the cemetery, where they discovered the open grave and headless body.
It is expected that he will be tried and placed in a psychiatric prison facility to receive treatment.
The gruesome events mirror a similar occurrence which also took place in Murcia 16 years ago.
In 2008, Angelo Carotenuto beat his mother to death after she refused to lend him €100.
He then decapitated her body and walked through their town, Santomera, Murcia, holding it.
