Grisly Photo Of Boy Posing With Mothers Head After He Chopped Her Into Pieces With Chainsaw.

Bahsid MacLean
A gruesome photo emerged on Saturday showing the Bronx man accused of killing and dismembering his mother's body, smiling and displaying the head of the dead woman. Bahsid McLean, 23, posed in front of the bathroom mirror holding the bloody head of his slain mother, Tanya Byrd, like a trophy and used his phone to snap the grisly photo as a keepsake, in the image leaked to the New York Post. McLean has been charged with killing Byrd, 45, after an argument in which the mother told her son to grow up and move out of her apartment in the Morrisania neighborhood in the South Bronx.
A law enforcement official said the shocking photo is just one of several images found on McLean's cell phone. 'I lost sleep over it. Just sheer inhumanity. It’s horrible what he did to her,' the source told the Post. Police say that after McLean stabbed the woman to death, likely on late Saturday or on Monday, he cut up her body with a power saw and scattered the body parts around his Bronx neighborhood. Then he and a pal allegedly stuffed the woman's body parts into three heavy-duty garbage bags, some of which were zipped inside luggage, and dumped them in at least four different locations in Morrisania, where they were discovered early Tuesday morning by a dog-walker. The mentally ill man told the judge that Byrd was dying and that he was trying to help her, though it was unclear what she was supposedly dying of.

He's definitely sick,' a law-enforcement source told The Post. 'It's a ghoulish act. This guy is so mentally defective to do that. That's pretty outrageous. That's hardcore s***.' Police say McLean, whose Twitter handle is @killtanyabyrd, stabbed his mother to death in the bedroom of the apartment they shared on either Sunday night or Monday morning. It is not clear whether McLean's seven-year-old brother Nasyr, who has Down's syndrome, was home. The gruesome pictures, discovered by cops on his cell phone, and an initial confession led to McLean's murder charge on Wednesday. Byrd's sister Cassandra McLean told The New York Daily News that the mother-of-three had caught McLean scouring the Internet for how to tips on covering up a murder and that he later created a MySpace page called 'Kill the b**** Tanya.' Police say McLean murdered his mother because she 'wanted him to grow up and move out and be a man,' The Post reported. His aunt said her nephew harbored resentment towards his mom after he was placed in a foster home while she battled a drug problem. He came back to live with her when he was 18. He was also suspected of abusing his younger brother, whose body began displaying bruised. His father called him a bad egg. 'Bashid had a problem controlling his rage,' a neighbor told the Daily News. 'He had creepy eyes. Didn't like to look you in the eye — but when he did, they went right through you.' McLean confessed to the crime late on Tuesday after cops found the electric saw and other carving implements. Police were overwhelmed by the stench of bleach when they entered the apartment Bahsid McLean shared with his mother and little brother. He was led out of the house in handcuffs after police recovered the frightening evidence in the apartment. Byrd's body parts were found strewn around at least four different curbside locations within a half-mile of the pair's Morrisania home in the early hours of Tuesday morning.  The pieces - which include her head, torso, right leg and hands - were found zipped into travel bags or stuffed into plastic garbage bags.
