A Florida man has hacked off his mother's head with an ax on New Year's Eve then dragged her body out to the garbage because she nagged him to do chores, police say. 
Christian Gomez, 23, confessed to beheading his mother Maria Suarez-Cassagne after a fight when she asked him to move boxes in the garage. 
Mario Gomez called 911 on about 7.30pm Wednesday and told dispatchers that his brother Christian had killed their mother and cut off her head, the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office said.
Deputies found Suarez-Cassagne's body outside the Oldsmar, Florida, home, near some garbage cans, according to the sheriff's office.
Christian Gomez was angry before the killing over his mother's wish he do some chores with boxes, Sheriff Bob Gualtieri told The Tampa Bay Times.
