He Mutilated His Mother's Body, Took Selfie With Her Head, Then Showed NO REMORSE in Court

Killing someone is terrible; killing your own mother is worse; subsequently chopping her dead body into pieces is unspeakably heinous.

But then describing all those events calmly and without remorse? That’s a whole other level of messed up.

Bahsid McLean is currently on trial for the murder of his mother, Tanya Byrd. He’s claiming that he didn’t actually kill her – that crime he’s pushing on his friend William Harris. But McLean doesn’t deny for an instant that it was he who mutilated her body.

In the most disturbing quote of all time, McLean told the court yesterday, “If you can kill somebody, you should be able to cut them up too.

“If you can’t do that, if don’t have the stomach to cut them up, then you’re a coward.”

McLean claims he did it with a power saw, chopping her body into pieces and stuffing them into a rolling suitcase – but not before taking a selfie with her severed head.

He didn’t even care that his buddy murdered her. In response to a prosecutor’s question, McLean said, “People die all the time… At the end of the day, you die either way. That’s the only thing you’re promised, to die. You live to die.

“If I don’t – if I didn’t, chop her up, somebody else would have. If he didn’t kill her, somebody else would have.”

Now, as terrifying and sad as this all is, you may be asking yourself, why is he admitting to it all so casually? It’s because McLean doesn’t fear jail – he told the courtroom that, when he’s off his medication, he lives in an alternative parallel universe where he’s a married lawyer with a family.

“I wouldn’t be in jail. Not up here, I’m not,” gesturing to his head. 

It sounds like McLean has mental issues as well. We can't imagine what his mother could have done to make him cut her up.
