MONROE, MI - A 45-year-old man is accused of beating to death and then decapitating his 79-year-old grandmother, whose body was found in the living room of her Monroe County home, according to the Associated Press. The victim’s head was found in the backyard.

Kenny McBride of Temperance was charged with multiple felonies on Wednesday, including murder and mutilation of a corpse. The beheaded body of his grandmother, Cecelia Gibson, was found Monday in her living room after Monroe County sheriff’s deputies responded to her home. She had shared the home with her grandson, McBride, and McBride’s father, according to the AP.

Autopsy results showed the woman died of blunt force trauma to her head.

During McBride’s court appearance on Wednesday, Judge William Paul Nichols denied him bond. McBride remains behind bars.

Temperance is located about 7 miles north of Toledo, Ohio.
