Texas Man, Jared Dicus Sentenced to 40 Years for Killing Wife Just Months After Marriage

A Texas judge has sentenced a man to 40 years in prison for killing his wife only a few months after their marriage.

Jared Dicus, 23, admitted to killing his wife, Anggy Diaz, 21, on January 11, 2023.

That same day her mutilated body was found near their home, according to the Waller County Sheriff's Office.

The newlyweds were living in a house on Dicus' parents' property. 

The parents found their daughter-in-law's body and alerted the police, according to the Waller County Sheriff's Office.

Sheriff Troy Guidry described the scene at a press conference a few days later, saying, "A portion of the body was dismembered, and the residence was covered in blood. It was a gruesome scene, at best."

Deputies immediately detained Dicus, who confessed to murdering Diaz. 

This crime occurred just three months after the couple's wedding in October 2022.

Guidry mentioned in his press conference that deputies had responded to reports of domestic violence at the couple's residence on multiple occasions prior to Diaz's death.

Dicus pleaded guilty after being formally charged with murder and was soon deemed fit to stand trial.

A plea deal was then worked out between prosecutors and Dicus. 

In addition to his 40-year sentence, Dicus will not be eligible for parole until at least 2043.

The district attorney also said that the Diaz family had agreed to the terms of the plea deal as well.

"Waller County does not tolerate domestic violence. Heinous crimes like this will not go unanswered. The authorities will seek justice for domestic violence victims and send a message to perpetrators that they fight for their victims," Whitmore stated.
