A rifle-toting 19-year-old man has reportedly been arrested in Mexico after allegedly being seen walking down a street holding his sister’s decapitated head.
Horrified onlookers called Michoacán State Police after spotting the suspect, identified only as Sebastián, holding his 26-year-old sister Julieta’s head near a clinic in Quiroga on Saturday, local news outlet AM reported.

They found his sister’s naked corpse lying at a gas station several hundred feet away.
Authorities were investigating a possible motive for the gruesome crime.
No information was immediately available about what charges the suspect faces while he is being held by the Michoacán state prosecutor’s office.
