New Mexico Man Kills Friend He Thinks Is a Zombie After Binging The Walking Dead
Okay, we’ve covered some “truth is stranger than fiction” stories before, but this is one is pretty disturbing on all sorts of levels. First, our sympathies go out to the victim’s family…
According to KOB-TV Channel 4 in New Mexico, a Prewitt, NM, man was arrested this past Thursday afternoon, October 22nd, after allegedly beating his friend to death while they were drunk after the man said his friend began “to change into a zombie” and tried to bite him, according to the Grants Police Department. The man allegedly then punched and kicked the friend and also hit the friend with an electric guitar and microwave, among other household items, according to police.
The man, identified as 23-year-old Damon Perry, told officers he had been binge-watching “The Walking Dead” on Netflix recently. Grants PD originally responded to 911 calls about a man – later identified as Perry – running around an apartment complex threatening people with a knife. When officers arrived, two maintenance workers were holding Perry down. Inside a nearby apartment, an officer found the friend unresponsive, with signs of trauma. The friend was pronounced dead at the scene. At this time it’s unclear if the victim was male or female.
Perry was taken to police headquarters, interviewed, and charged with an open count of murder.
