SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS: Bradley Adam Dimmick, aged 35, has been arrested by Texas authorities in connection with a gruesome murder case following their discovery of a decapitated body in the living room of a San Antonio residence, with a severed head found submerged in a bathtub.

Bradley Adam Dimmick's startling confession leads to grim discovery

Responding to the call, officers encountered a man, later identified as 35-year-old Dimmick. Shockingly, he reportedly made a chilling admission to the officers, stating, "I just killed somebody," Law&Crime reports. 

Dimmick further revealed that he had committed the heinous act in a residence approximately a mile away. Acting swiftly, the officers proceeded to the mentioned address, where they were met with a gruesome tableau. Traces of blood were apparent upon entry, setting off alarm bells for the authorities.

Upon further inspection, they discovered a lifeless dog near the front entrance, bearing injuries consistent with the brutality of the crime. Their investigation led them to the living room, where a nightmarish scene awaited them.

Who was Bradley Dimmick's victim?

The victim, identified as 65-year-old Keith Dimmick, lay lifeless, his body grotesquely mutilated. His autopsy revealed a "large stomach wound" with "intestines extruding" from his body, mirroring the injuries inflicted upon the unfortunate dog.

The police's search for answers took a gruesome turn when they followed a macabre trail of dried blood, leading them to the bathroom. There, they made the horrifying discovery of the severed head submerged in the bathtub, adding an even more sinister dimension to this chilling crime.

Detectives revealed that the crime scene was equipped with three surveillance cameras, one of which was ominously pointed toward Keith's lifeless body. As the investigation unfolds, many questions remain unanswered.

The authorities have yet to clarify the relationship between Dimmick and the victim, Keith. However, the crime took place at the suspect's listed address, the setting for this gruesome slaying.
