As grim new details emerged on Monday about the Arizona man accused of decapitating his wife, officials released a video of Kenneth Wakefield's first court appearance in which he appeared to interrupt the proceedings with a startling shriek.

According to a court document released Monday, Wakefield, 43, told police that he beheaded his wife, Trina Heisch, 49, because "he was trying to get the evil out of" her.

Police found several bloody knives in the apartment, the document says, and "Trina had multiple stab wounds to her torso along with defensive wounds to her hands and arms."

In the video of Wakefield's court appearance, the prosecutor says that at the time of alleged murder, Wakefield, who authorities have described as mentally ill, was "either not taking his meds" or was taking them with "marijuana and spice," as synthetic pot is known.

During the video, Wakefield stood behind at a podium wearing a striped jail outfit. His left arm, which the police have said he partly cut off, was wrapped in a white bandage. At one point, during a grisly description of the alleged killing, Wakefield bowed his head and let out a high pitched cry.

Wakefield was ordered held on $2 million bond.

Wasn't me!

Damn it. I came in here to post if anyone has seen lewdogs wife lately.

Saw this article earlier today. This guy had the creepiest mugshot in history. No joke. I'd rather be locked in a room with the lizard man.

He told her he wanted head.

They really need to ban knives, and sharp objects. Now they've killed another person, and 2 dogs. Knives, and sharp objects are to blame!

And the neck tattoo sealed the deal. He's scummy!

Is he missing an eye?

He seems nice....

I read somewhere that he actually cut out his own eye and part of his arm himself....just in case you are wondering.

I rest my case. I'd rather be locked in a room with the lizard man.

You didn't read your own article??

Yeah, the article states that he is missing part of his left arm and one eye.

Heck, I'd rather be locked in a room with Hootie and Dane yelling at each other for 10 days.
