In a shocking and bizarre incident, a man in US’ Texas has been arrested for allegedly killing and disemboweling his father, saying that he believed aliens had harvested his organs days before the murder, El Paso Police Department said.
The accused, identified as 39-year-old Jaime Adrian Contreras was arrested earlier on Monday following the discovery of the body of his 74-year-old father, Victor Gerardo Contreras, inside their home, reported Independent.
As per the investigative authorities, decomposed body was found after another son went to the house to check on him, having not heard from his father in weeks. Upon reaching, he noticed a foul odour coming from the residence and discovered his father dead. He was lying on a blood-soaked sheet in his bedroom, the report added.
According to the affidavit, the victim had sustained head injuries, had a slit throat, several stab wounds around his neck area and had been disemboweled.
Police said blood was found spattered throughout the home, suggesting a violent struggle took place, the New York Post reported.
Jaime was later found near Hueco Tanks State Park, driving his father’s Jeep Wrangler. He reportedly had a swollen hand and a deep cut on his finger, which he attributed to “battling.”
As per the courtroom filing, Jaime had informed the police that he believed aliens had harvested his father’s organs. The accused son added that his father was “in heaven” and believed that the latter was an extraterrestrial, the news outlet added.
As per the report, another relative told the detectives that she had last spoken to the victim twice on April 5, and he had told her that Jaime was “acting crazy again,” and later that he had called the police. He called back later to say that the situation had been resolved.
The court documents also revealed that a neighbour observed Jamie behaving unusually and yelling on the street.
Officers had previously attended the home multiple times in 2023, during which Jaime had told them that his father was an alien and that he did not recognise him, the report added, citing the affidavit.
Jaime is being held at the El Paso County Jail on a $2 million bond.
