Jarrod Wyatt, a 26-year-old mixed martial arts fighter,
s accused of brutally murdering his 21-year-old friend,
Adam Powell. According to the
Times-Standard,
prosecutors claim the pair took mushrooms along with
two other friends in late March. The paper reports that
witnesses say Powell and Wyatt "became preoccupied
with the idea that a tidal wave was coming, that the
end of the world was upon them and that a struggle
between God and the devil was taking place."
When police arrived, they found Wyatt naked and
covered in dried blood. According to an officer at the
scene, Wyatt admitted to cutting out his victim's
tongue and heart. Powell's corpse included an 18-inch
incision on his chest, and Wyatt allegedly said he
cooked the 21-year-old's heart in a wood stove
to "stop the devil."
