This Man Killed His Mother, Cut Her Heart Out, Then Maturbated To Relieve Himself(Photos)

A man admitted to murdering his mum before slicing open her chest and removing her heart with his bare hands, it was reported.

Omar Pettigen reportedly told police he then masturbated as a "release" after mutilating the body of his mother Nailah Pettigen.

The 31-year-old was arrested five days after the horrific killing in Fremont, California, the Daily News reported.He was reportedly caught after his father, who lives in New Mexico, contacted police to check on his ex-wife and son after not hearing from them.

Officers arrived at the Pettigen's home and found Nailah, 64, dead in her bedroom with her underwear around her ankles, where she "appeared to have been disemboweled", according to police.

A post mortem showed the former maths teacher had been cut from her neck to her cervix and had also been shot at least seven times.

 Pettigen allegedly argued with his mother, who he claims pulled a gun on him, before he grabbed a hammer off the bedroom wall to knock the weapon from her hand.

He then allegedly returned with a tomahawk and beat her before shooting her in the back four times with a gun he retrieved from a wardrobe.

The son is then believed to have sliced open her chest with a knife and removed her heart with his bare hands before putting it back in her body.

Pettigen reportedly told police he murdered his mum because she was killing herself with the prescription painkillers oxycodone, which he claims she had become addicted to after hip and knee problems and surgery.

He allegedly added that, after the sickening attack, he masturbated because "he needed to be with himself and needed a release after the event" before going out drinking with friends, charging documents seen by the Daily News show.

World Marks First Week of No New Ebola Cases

Last week marked the first week of no new Ebola cases worldwide since the outbreak began in March 2014, the World Health Organization announced on Wednesday.

While the news is encouraging, there are still hundreds of contacts who are undergoing followup check-ins to make sure they stay healthy and the agency says the risk of transmission remains high.

“Case incidence has remained below 10 confirmed cases per week for 11 consecutive weeks,” the WHO writes in a statement. “Over the same period, transmission of the virus has been geographically confined to several small areas in western Guinea and Sierra Leone, marking a transition to a distinct, third phase of the epidemic.”

For a country to be declared Ebola-free, it must go 42 days without reporting a new case of the disease. The most recent case numbers from the WHO show that since the beginning of the outbreak there have been a total of 28,421 people who have been infected in the hardest hit countries of Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia since the start of the outbreak. Among those infected, a total of 11,297 people have died.
