A Latino has been arrested for murder after he decapitated his mother at the family's Oldsmar home on New Year's Eve 2014, all because of a chore he didn't want to complete
The County Sheriff's Office has charged 23-year-old Christian Jose Gomez of 1924 Sheffield Court in Oldsmar with first-degree murder. Investigators responded to the home on 12/31/2014 at 7:24 p.m. where they found the decapitated body of the victim, who deputies say is Gomez's mother, 48-year-old Maria Suarez-Cassagne. According to Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri, Gomez hit his mother over the head with an axe, then cut her head off her in the garage and dragged the body to the garbage outside the home. The Sheriff says that Gomez had been planning his mother's murder for two days. According to investigators, Gomez was angry over his mother "nagging" to put boxes away in the attic. Gualtieri says that Gomez admitted he put his mother's head in a garbage can outside the home and then attempted to put her body in the garbage, as well, but it was too heavy. Cassagne's body was found by her older son, Gomez's 26-year-old brother, Mario Gomez. The brother was home at the time of the crime, but thought that the noises he heard was Gomez putting the boxes away. "He went to the garage, he found an axe laying on the floor," said Gualtieri. "He found a blood trail and he followed that outside to the side of the house and when he went outside, he found his mother laying there on the ground next to a trash can, and unfortunately his mother had been decapitated, so he immediately called the sheriff's office." Gomez had left the home by the time deputies arrived, but was found riding his bike just several blocks away a short time later. A brief chase ensued and Gomez was taken into custody. Sheriff Gualtieri confirms that Gomez was diagnosed with schizophrenia and prescribed medications, but it's unclear if he was taking them. Gomez also told deputies that he was also angry at his mother because he felt that she favored his brother more than him. Gomez has prior arrests in Pinellas County for loitering and prowling, resisting officer without violence, and disorderly conduct.
