One Teen Brutally Kills And Dismembers Mom In A Ritual-Style Murder
No one knows precisely what occurred the night 19-year-old Moises Meraz-Espinoza decided to kill his mother, Amelia Espinoza. Neighbors have disclosed that the mother and son often fought, mostly about Meraz-Espinoza staying out all night. What is known is that, in February 2011, the teen strangled his mother to death. Afterwards, he stabbed her and cut her body into pieces. An expert in rituals spoke at length during the trial stating,
"In this case the body was dismembered, flayed, filleted, eviscerated, decapitated, and desanguinated, and the skin from the face, scalp, and head was removed in one piece. The teeth, fingers, toes, and eyes were removed, and several internal organs were absent. This is really the very definition of a ritual killing."
In addition to the expert testimony, it was also noted that satanic imagery was found throughout the apartment and that Meraz-Espinoza kept his mother’s skull and bones inside his backpack, which was covered in pentagrams. The rest of her chopped-up body was stored in the apartment's freezer.
Days after dismembering his mother, Moises Meraz-Espinoza went to the police station and calmly confessed to matricide. A judge sentenced him to 25-years to life in prison, noting that it was the most disgusting and vulgar case he had ever seen.
