A Texas man was sentenced to 52 years in prison on Friday after he admitted to decapitating his wife in front of her children. David Dauzat, 24, pleaded guilty to the 2016 death of his wife, Natasha Dauzat, 21, who was found with dozens of stab wounds. “They didn’t want to put the children through a trial and have them relive those memories,” McLennan County Assistant District Attorney Michael Jarrett said. Police went to the couple’s mobile home in Bellmead, a town just northwest of Waco, in August 2016 after a concerned relative requested a welfare check. Dauzat had beheaded his wife while the two children, ages 1 and 2, were in the trailer.
