I think this is a jump. The artist says it references Charcot. Most likely his photo studies. Using the head to represent detachment from the body is one of her hallmarks.That being said obviously headless seems to fit Tony's taste. And the Charcot reference is maybe even more topical than Dahmer. I guess you can make an argument the artist was influence by Dahmer but I haven't seen any evidence of that:

from https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/invention-hysteria

"Under the direction of the medical teacher and clinician Jean-Martin Charcot, the inmates of Salpetriere identified as hysterics were methodically photographed, providing skeptical colleagues with visual proof of hysteria's specific form. These images, many of which appear in this book, provided the materials for the multivolume album Iconographie photographique de la Salpetriere...Charcot did not stop at voyeuristic observation. Through techniques such as hypnosis, electroshock therapy, and genital manipulation, he instigated the hysterical symptoms in his patients, eventually giving rise to hatred and resistance on their part. Didi-Huberman follows this path from complicity to antipathy in one of Charcot's favorite "cases," that of Augustine, whose image crops up again and again in the Iconographie. Augustine's virtuosic performance of hysteria ultimately became one of self-sacrifice, seen in pictures of ecstasy, crucifixion, and silent cries."

The artist says the body is a boy, but emasculated to show no gender by genitalia. As a commentary on Charcot's typical subject- females.
