Man accused of decapitating wife, dogs and self-mutilation leaves hospital for jail cell


Man 334

A man accused of decapitating his wife and their pet dogs before mutilating himself has gone from a hospital bed to a jail cell.

Phoenix police identified the man as Kenneth Dale Wakefield.

Police say he was in a county lockup Sunday on $2 million bail after being booked on one count of first-degree murder and two counts of animal cruelty.

Investigators say Wakefield killed Trina Heisch and their two dogs and stashed the bodies in a closet.

They say he then gouged out one of his own eyes and cut off his left hand at the forearm.

The grisly scene was discovered July 25 by a neighbor who went to check on Heisch and said Wakefield came to the door naked, covered in blood.
