A New Mexico man said he had recently binge-watched The Walking Dead has been charged with murder after telling police he attacked his friend.
He said he believed the other man had started “to change into a zombie” and wanted to bite him, Albuquerque news station KOB4 reports.
Apparently, Damon Perry, 23, kicked and punched his friend, Christopher Paquin, then beat him to death with a microwave and electric guitar, a New Mexico police spokesperson told The Daily Beast.
“It was one of the absolute worst [crime scenes] I’ve ever seen, and I’ve been with the department for 15 years,” spokesman Marcus Marques told the Beast.
After killing his friend, Paquin left the apartment where he was drinking and ran through the housing complex chasing people with a sharp object. He was eventually taken down by two maintenance workers who were near the scene of the crime.
Police are ruling out mental illness as a factor and attributing the crime to binge-drinking. Police told The Daily Beast that after sobering up, Perry was saddened for his friend’s death.
He is being held on $800,000 bail.
