Damien Hurstel, the 19-year-old Staten Island man who allegedly beheaded his mom\u2019s boyfriend, reportedly showed his little sister his handiwork … then asked if she wanted their mom to live.<\/p>\n

Hurstel’s mother, Alicia Zayas, told the New York Post<\/a> her daughter Bri asked her brother if he was going to hurt their mom too and he replied, “Do you want her to live?”<\/p>\n

Zayas says her daughter said, “Yes, please” and her son replied, “Okay, she’ll live.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The mom says her daughter then asked her brother if she could leave the blood-soaked bathroom where Hurstel allegedly scooped out some of her dead boyfriend’s brain with a spoon.<\/p>\n

She says her son asked his sister if she was going to tell their mother what happened and the daughter said “No” before running to the backyard, hiding behind a shed, and calling her mom, extremely scared.<\/p>\n

Zayas says her daughter told her over the phone her brother had killed the boyfriend, Anthony Casalaspro, and told her, “he doesn’t have a head.”<\/p>\n
