A 45-year-old woman was arrested this week on a murder charge after she allegedly decapitated her sometimes boyfriend in a Henderson, Nev. residence.
The man had ordered her to perform an unspecified sex act on him. She refused and then allegedly killed him.
The body of Johnathan James Willette — without the head — was discovered by his mother on August 7. It was on a bed in their Pala Dura Drive home.
It was “wrapped up in blankets and bloody,” according to a Henderson Police Department report, quoted by the Las Vegas Review Journal.
Johnathan’s head had been severed from his body, and was not observed to be in the room,” police added.
It is unclear if the head has since been located.
As the story unfolded it turned out that the accused, Devyn Michaels, 45, was the sometimes girlfriend of Willette, 46.
He was also identified as the father of her children, according to Las Vegas TV station KLAS.
In addition, she is married to Willette’s son, according to the Review Journal.
Abuse Allegations
Michaels also told police that Willette was abusive to her and a child, the Review Journal reported. It was unclear if police confirmed the abuse allegations.
She also claimed Willette would watch as a child of his was in the shower, KLAS reported. Michaels and Willette had two daughters together, the Review Journal added.
When speaking to officers, she admitted striking Willette on the head with a wooden stick while the two were on the bed, the report added.
She never confessed to severing his head but told officers she just wanted to injure him sufficiently so he would need to go to a hospital, according to KLAS.
Meat Cleaver Missing
Police did not specify what was used as the murder weapon. But Willette’s mother told police a meat cleaver was missing from their kitchen, the Review Journal reported.
When police arrived at the crime scene, officers also noticed “smoke” was rising from the headless body. It appeared the suspect applied bleach and ammonia on the corpse, police added.
Willette’s mother said she had seen her son the night before the body was discovered. He was with Michaels. A few hours later, Michaels, while washing dishes, told Willette’s mother that her son was drunk.
A few hours later, Willette’s mother heard dogs barking. At about 8 a.m., she became concerned when she saw dogs outside of the house and her son’s truck still there. That is when she started to look for him, and soon discovered the body.
It was later revealed that Michaels did not live at the Pala Dura Drive residence, but she and Willette planned to move in together.
As of the murder, she was married to Willette’s son and the two lived together, KLAS reported. She claimed she married the son due to unspecified “medical reasons,” according to KLAS.
Took Lie Detector
After police located Michaels, she was given a polygraph test.
Police said she had a “significant reaction” when asked if she took part in his killing, KLAS added.
The Clark County coroner’s office was in the process of performing an autopsy on Willette this week.
Henderson is located southeast of Las Vegas.
