Details about the case

Waller County Sheriff Troy Guidry stated that the local police department was informed of "a possible deceased person" at about 4:18 p.m. local time on Wednesday in a news briefing recorded by Fox 26 Houston on Thursday. Later, according to Guidry, a 21-year-old woman's body was discovered in a residence that was situated behind a house. According to numerous reports, she had been decapitated. The victim was identified as Anggy Diaz by her family and loved ones. In addition, a GoFundMe was set up to cover her funeral expenses.

Although Guidry omitted the suspect's identity from the news briefing, the sheriff's office identified him as Jared James Discus, age 21, according to a number of media sources. In addition, the victim and suspect were newlyweds, Guidry revealed later.

Discus was at the house when the police showed up, according to him, and was detained there until the other family members were escorted to the station to talk with the officers. According to Guidry, Discus allegedly confessed to the crime while providing his witness statement to the police. Moreover, a kitchen knife is thought to be the weapon used in this crime, according to Guidry. However, the motive for the murder of the newlywed Texas woman is still being looked into by the police.
