A Pennsylvanian man has been arrested on homicide charges for killing his neighbour cold bloodedly with chainsaw and knife.

According to the local police, Zak Moyer — the killer — was dressed up like the movie character "Ghostface" from the movie "Scream" while carrying out the heinous attack, The Guardian reported.

He allegedly stuck his next door neighbour Edward Whitehead Junior, 59, "multiple times with a knife and a battery-operated chainsaw".

Court documents reveal that once Moyer was done killing he went home and continued watching a movie, until the police arrived. Moyer, 30, has admitted to stabbing Whitehead in the head.

Witnesses reported that Moyer did not resist his arrest and peacefully left with the police, however he did leave a note on his window sill, that said: "Ed murdered women and kids. Eddie Junior murdered women and kids last summer."

Police interviewed Moyer's sister, who said her 30-year-old brother had shared that he wanted to kill his neighbour a week before the murder.

Following Moyer's arrest, his father Francis, has also been arrested for harassing and bothering the Whiteheads.

Whitehead was a father of two sons and brother to several siblings. He worked in the maintenance department of an automobile repairing company in Lehighton.
