A known criminal in New Mexico has been charged with murder after he allegedly admitted to decapitating a man and then kicking his severed head against cars. 

Joel Arciniega-Saenz, 25, was arrested on Sunday for killing James Garcia, 51, at Apodaca Park in Las Cruces.  

Police responding to calls from witnesses about a body in the middle of a road across from the park arrived to find Arciniega-Saenz with a bloody knife and dried blood on his hands.  

The suspect told investigators that he was homeless and lived at the park.

He said he killed Garcia because he claimed - without apparent evidence - that Garcia had robbed him and raped his wife.  

Records showed Arciniega-Saenz had been released from jail just last month and was previously accused but later cleared of fatally shooting a man in 2017.  

Law enforcement officers are seen investigating the crime scene where Arciniega-Saenz, 25, allegedly admitted to murdering Garcia at Apodaca Park on Sunday
