A judge in Texas sentenced a man to 40 years in prison for murdering his wife just months into their marriage.

Jared Dicus, 23, confessed to killing his wife, Anggy Diaz, 21, on Jan. 11, 2023, the same day that her mutilated body was discovered near the couple's residence, according to the Waller County Sheriff's Office (WCSO).

The newlyweds were living in a home on the property of Dicus' parents, who alerted police after coming across their daughter-in-law's body, according to the WCSO.

Sheriff Troy Guidry described the scene at a press conference a few days later, saying: "A portion of the body was dismembered, and the residence was covered in blood. Gruesome scene at best."

Guidry said in his press conference that deputies had been called to the couple's residence for reports of domestic violence on more than one occasion before Diaz's death.

If someone has shown that they're willing to inflict physical harm upon you, then staying with them is you giving your tacit permission to continue. You have to leave before they end up killing you.

EDIT: guess all the domestic abusers are upset I'm telling their partner to leave them 🤷‍♂️

Lol @ downvotes. So people think you're wrong. The right approach if you get beaten and/or threatened is to do nothing 🤷‍♂️

Seriously. I guess they're upset that I didn't preface my statement with something about how it's really difficult to leave. Like, it is. It can be really difficult to leave a bad situation when you don't have support/help/family/money/shelter/a place to go/whatever...

but it doesn't matter how difficult something is to do, if not doing it means losing your life... do it?

Quitting something you're addicted to is also really really difficult. but If you don't you're going to lose everything. I have 5 years of sobriety under my belt, I know this to be true. Nobody could force me to quit, I had to decide to do it. Just like whoever is reading my comment, upset that I don't understand the struggle... I do. Do it. Leave before he kills you.

And this comment below, zero downvotes

Decapitation is really intense, I’m desperate to know why.

Like, what argument could you have that makes you so angry that you literally take her head off?
