Man Accused Of Killing, Dismembering Friend In His Bedroom

March 28, 2012 at 11:24 am by Morbid

TACOMA, WA — A 27-year-old man has been accused of strangling his friend in his bedroom, then using a hand saw to partially dismember the corpse.

Police say that on March 18 or 19, John Jones Jr. strangled 54-year-old Wayne Williams in the bedroom of a home he shares with his mother, younger brother and an uncle. He then used a hand saw to start dismembering the corpse for future disposal.

Problem was that he was taking too long to dispose of the body, and Williams was quickly starting to smell pretty ripe.

On March 21, Jones’ mother noticed a foul smell coming from her son’s room and went in to investigate. It wasn’t hard to determine the source of the odor as Williams’ corpse was lying on a mattress without a head or legs. Jones had already removed them — the legs still wearing socks and shoes — and placed them in garbage bags.

When police interviewed John Jones, he stated he regularly hung out with Williams and they occasionally did drugs together, but he did not know how he ended up dead and in several pieces inside his bedroom. He did offer a possible scenario, however.

He said Williams owed people money and may have been killed and dismembered by the Crips or the Bloods while they both slept in the bedroom. As believable as that story is, an autopsy report showed that Williams put up a bit of a fight before he died of manual strangulation, having suffered numerous defensive, puncture-style wounds to his hand and head.

Jones was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. He has pleaded not guilty, a claim his mother agrees with. She does not believe her son has done any of the things he has been accused of .

Washington, being on the opposite corner of the 48 from Florida, must have contracted some sort of craziness as well.

Oh well, I’ll just blame bath salts. Every story needs a scapegoat.

Reason #573 why I’ll probably never murder anybody….getting rid of that body will be a disgusting pain in my ass!

After the gang dismembered his buddy’s body, he must have been so distraught that he kept him in his bed to cuddle with the corpse for those 3 or 4 nights?? I’m thinking they did a tad bit more just drugs together…

If the person really deserved killing and you in fact made the world a much better place for your effort,then you might actually think of this part as being equally as good as the killing part was.

This seems like a perfect time for Febreeze to come up with a new Air Effects brand that covers up the smell of decomposing bodies. It will be a hit with those who find themselves running out of time with the disposal of a dead body. Just spray that shit in a room and bam no more rotting flesh smell to worry about. It should buy you at least a day or two.
Gee

A mother’s love knows no boundaries! Never mind the limbless corpse in your son’s bedroom he is not guilty.
”the legs still wearing socks and shoes”
This damn line made me LMAO for that I am sure to be going to hell

If John is in fact innocent as he claims and his mental state has not been challenged,and he has no history except for a “forgery” why do they have him in a suicide vest ?

Reason #889 to just say no to drugs.The invisible Crips,or Bloods will enter your bedroom,kill and dismember your friend while you are high and asleep,leave his torso on your fucking bed ;then for several days after that you will be oblivious in your drug induced euphoria and only become aware of the events when your mother calls the PoPo and they appear arresting you for reasons you fail to comprehend.

Crips and Bloods must have gotten soft since my gang running days because I don’t know one who would of let a potential witness live.

This dude really needs to learn how to lie better.

If he was using the “insane” defense, his hair totally has his back.

See what I did there? *wiggles eyebrows*

Is there nothing unique in the world today? Same damned thing happened to me last November except it was MS13 and the Red Hat Society.

Never mind the fact that SHE FOUND THE DECOMPOSING BODY…

And where in the fuck was she while all of this was going around. I’d be so pissed knowing that the fuck’s in jail and I’m left cleaning the fucking blood & shit while he’s out laying on a bunk in county jail.

My mom got pissed at me when she found dirty dishes in my room. She’d have shit a brick if she found a partially dismembered corpse in my room. I could hear here screaming now, “You know what kind of vermin this will attract!”
Mamma

I read yesterday that when his mother found the body, not only was it headless and on a mattress, but under a make-shift tent. He spent the night on the couch while his buddy was headless camping in his room.

Awww I want to go to a slumber party!

You are totally cleaning this carpet, too!

BTW, this kind of comment is why I love this site so much. I heart everyone!

Never do drugs with friends, only enemies. That way if you get all murderous you won’t have any regrets.
curiousalways

so I’m wondering all kinds of things, like where was the blood? Wouldn’t there be copious amounts everywhere? and what is the Mother telling herself about this situation that could make her believe her son innocent? and how many 27 year old guys hang out with 54 year old men in their bedroom of their momma’s house? of course if the mom can convince herself the son is innocent of murder with a mutilated corpse in his bed, I’m sure she believed they were playing checkers up there before……

I’m trying to imagine what my reaction would be here (mother walking in room). Sniff, sniff, what is that awful smell. **Peaks inside tent… WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!
JGo555

THE HAIR! IT MADE HIM DO IT!

(The Simpson’s episode “The Treehouse of Horrors” Season 10 ep.4 “Killer Toupé” where Homer get’s an executed murderer’s hair transplanted to his scalp & he begins killing people… THE HAIR MADE HIM DO IT)

At least it’s not a dead kid?

Don’t you hate when shit like this happens? You go to party at someones house and it never fails — they end up cut up and in pieces in trash bags.
DangerousKindOfSnark

Next time you go to a party I’m coming with you.

Right, apparently this guys likes his playmates to be older. (just gagged on that thought).

This would be a great Febreeze commercial.

Wooow partay animals! If there is any tents involved I call dibs on the couch

Bloods and Crips. Lmao! There was probably some banging going on but it wasn’t red and blue. Just pink and brown.
Ugh. *shudders*

And speaking of cutting things off….anyone see this bit of mayhem out of Austria?

Wow, that dude was dedicated.

God it would be great if i could quit taping down the top of the Lysol can.

lmao Kudos.

Never would have thought about it, but man I would be mad enough to… make a mess for the next poor bastard in line.
AssWho?

Can only imagine the”WTF?” moment she had. Wonder if she did a FMYLIFE post?

Back in the Nam, in Da Nang when I was with the 198th Infantry, Foxtrot company we used to do shit like this all the damn time. We’d round up a bunch of Charlies strangle the shit out of them and then cut off their heads and legs and then play mix and match. Came up with some really funny ones too. I recommend lime to cut down on the odor. Lime and a huge pit…….
LeaveMeBe

I don’t know why, but I can’t quit laughing at this! I think it was the “headless camping” remark.
Heather4877

I was kinda thinking along the same lines. I TOTALLY believe the Bloods and Crips scenario and I think it’s just very unfortunate that this poor man (oh hell, lets just call him the second victim in this hellish crime) didn’t wake up until the body had had time to start to decompose.
http://twitter.com/AngelsMom0806 Angels Mom

Yeah, momma’s tend to do that with their sons.

*Backs away slowly*I will be way over _———————————————————————————————–> here.

If she thinks a group of random gang members entered her house, committed murder, cut up the body, IN HER HOUSE without her noticing, she’s as crazy as her son.

“Bath salts” is just slang for a synthetic (a.k.a. designer) drug that very much can induce craziness. –Doesn’t negate responsibility though as someone must choose to ingest it, so I don’t consider it a scapegoat.
