A headless man was found in a Chandler apartment, and a drinking buddy has been arrested in his death and decapitation.
The victim, who has not been identified, and the suspect, Crisantos Moroyoqui, who is in the country illegally, had been drinking together at 4:30 a.m. Sunday. At 5:30 a.m., some men who had fallen asleep in the apartment awoke to find the man's beheaded body in a large pool of blood, according to police reports.
It is not known what transpired between the pair that led one to allegedly stab and decapitate the other, nor is it known what weapon was used.
Police described the victim as a Hispanic male in his 30s. Police have not released his name pending notification of next of kin.
Moroyoqui , the victim and three other men were drinking in the living room of 300 W. Fairview Street, apartment 1, according to a police report. Two others decided to go to sleep, police said.
"Before going to bed, they saw the victim alive and well with Moroyoqui and three other Hispanic males in the living room," the police said.
A pair of bloody tan colored shoes, identified as Moroyoqui's, was found outside his apartment at 320 W. Fairview Street. Moroyoqui and several other men were removed from the apartment.
Moroyoqui wore the same clothes he had on at the drinking party, and police said blood they believe to be the victim's was found on his pants.
At first Moroyoqui provided a false identity, police said, and then when he did he exercised his right to remain silent.
"It is believed that Moroyoqui was present and a participant, if not the sole participant, in the decapitation death of the victim," the report says.
Officers arrested Moroyoqui on suspicion of 2nd degree murder and hindering prosecution, police said. This is an active investigation and anyone with information should call the Chandler Police Department at 480-782-4130.
