Texas husband who chopped off newlywed wife’s head gets 40-year prison sentence: DA
SUMMARY
Jared James Dicus, a Texas man who brutally murdered his 21-year-old wife, Anggy Diaz, just months after their wedding, has been sentenced to 40 years in prison. The crime occurred in January 2023, when Dicus decapitated Diaz in their home near Magnolia, Texas. Authorities found her body in a pool of blood with her severed head in the shower. Dicus, now 23, pleaded guilty to murder, and under the plea agreement, he cannot appeal the sentence. The earliest he could be eligible for parole is 2043. The Waller County District Attorney emphasized the county's commitment to seeking justice for victims of domestic violence. Diaz's family was consulted before the plea deal was finalized.
