Torture and beheads his cellmate with "an appalling atrocity"

A convicted murderer was charged Thursday with having his cellmate beheaded at the Corcoran State Prison in California, USA, reports AP.

Kings County Attorney Phil Esbenshade said that 31-year-old Jaime Osuna had cut several parts of Luis Romero's body, including an eye and a finger, with the help of a "metallic object" cutting edge wrapped in a rope and attached to a handle ". "The incident that occurred on March 9 was not revealed, but it is thought that the victim" was conscious for some of the time ", which is why Esbenshade called the crime of "The most appalling case I have seen of atrocity. "

The authorities said that Romero, 44, had died from bleeding resulting from "multiple traumas related to acute force".

Osuna pleaded not guilty to Romero's murder and other charges, including torture and possession of weapons in a detention facility, during his first court appearance.

If the accused is found guilty, he could be sentenced to death. Osuna is already serving a life sentence without parole for the murder of Yvette Pena in 2011.

Osuna was transferred to a prison for detainees in need of medical or mental health care. It was also reported that the prisoner would return to court at the end of June for a preliminary hearing.

Previously, the convict had stated that it was not the first time that he was committing "abominable acts" and that he had cruel intentions when he was a child.
