An 18-year-old man is accused of
killing his aunt's boyfriend with a hammer before cutting off his head,
ears and nose and leaving them on his aunt's bed 'as a present' on
Christmas Day.
Alexis Valdez has been charged with first-degree murder after Silvestre Diaz-Hernandez, 41, was found dismembered in a Chicago apartment the men shared with Valdez's aunt.
Valdez allegedly called police about 2am to report the grisly crime.
Cook County Assistant State's Attorney Kingsley Sawyers told a bond hearing that Valdez hid a hammer by the apartment's door before leaving.
When the men returned home, Valdez allegedly picked up the hammer and struck Diaz-Hernandez in the back of the head.
Sawyers said the man fell and Valdez struck him up to 10 more times. Valdez then covered the windows, played loud music and began hacking the man's body with a butcher's knife.
Prosecutors say Valdez then put the head, ears and nose on his aunt's bed 'as he, quote, 'Wanted to leave his aunt a present',' Sawyers said.

Prosecutors say Valdez had been living
with the
couple in the basement apartment for about six months on the condition he would go to school, work and contribute to household costs.
When he failed to do that, his aunt told him he needed to move out of the North Kildare Ave apartment, angering the teen, according to the Chicago Tribune.
On Christmas Eve, Valdez was allegedly home drinking while his aunt was at a party and Diaz-Hernandez was visiting family members.
When Diaz-Hernandez came home to find there was no beer left in the house, he went to a nearby drugstore with Valdez.
