The disturbed Staten Island teen\u00a0who allegedly decapitated his mother\u2019s boyfriend<\/a>\u00a0will face a murder charge in the shocking crime, sources said.<\/p>\n

A still-bloody Damien Hurstel, 19, was spotted being wheeled out of the NYPD\u2019s 120th Precinct Tuesday on a gurney, wearing a Tyvek suit \u2013 en route to an expected arraignment on the murder rap and a criminal possession of a weapon charge.<\/p>\n

The dramatic scene came less than a day after sources said Hurstel\u2019s sister\u00a0found the headless body of a 45-year-old sanitation worker<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 who had been dating their mother for several years \u2013 in the bathroom of the family\u2019s West Brighton home, sources said.<\/p>\n

The last few years had been marked by repeated domestic violence calls to their home, as well as concerns about the teen son\u2019s mental health, sources and neighbors said.<\/p>\n
