According to the arrest report, police were alerted to a potential domestic disturbance at the apartment at around 4: 45 a. m. local time last Friday. Multiple neighbors called 9-1-1 at the time to report loud noises coming from the residence. Per the particular arrest affidavit obtained by People , one neighbor reported (below):

“[The neighbor] woke up to loud screaming in the neighboring apartment and also heard banging. It became quiet and [they] heard sawing-like sounds and the gathering or shifting associated with plastic materials. ”

Oh, no…

Dispatchers immediately sent officers in order to the apartment, where they discovered a horrific scene. The diploma states (below):

“[Officers] walked around the apartment to the north side and observed from outside typically the bedroom window a white male … seated on a mattress … cutting/sawing a female victim’ h left leg with a machete. ”

Cops also reportedly observed that the victim’ t head “ had been removed from her body. ”

WTF?!?!

Police immediately entered the apartment plus arrested Scurria. Upon being taken into custody, he allegedly “ made unsolicited statements” to officers, including repeatedly telling them that “ she tried to cut my balls off. ”

The police report further alleges that Scurria explained more about what led to this incident:

“ The defendant stated that during the argument, he knocked often the victim unconscious after repeatedly striking her in the head. The defendant admitted he attempted to be able to get rid of the evidence by dismembering various parts of the victim’ s body. ”

Just horrific.

Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer released a statement about the arrest to your media. Calling the murder “ a new sad reminder of the threat that many women face on a daily basis, ” the exact DA said:

“ Preliminary indications are that will the victim and the defendant formerly had a romantic relationship in addition to were — at the period of the murder — sharing a residence. Based on the defendant’ s i9000 statements at the time regarding his arrest, in response for you to what the defendant perceived as some sort of threat to his masculinity, he brutally killed — and then dismembered — his victim. His actions were cowardly as well as evil, and he will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. We must continue to look for ways to help support women against the danger of domestic violence. ”

So, so awful.
