Woman Beheaded In London By Crazed Machete-Wielding Attacker
2014-09-05
[BREITBART] A woman was beheaded in at a house in north London this afternoon, with witnesses reporting that a man then went "on the loose with a machete".
It's that Ann Boleyn thing. They just can't help themselves...
Police have named the woman as 82-year-old Palmira Silva, adding that they found here dead at the scene and have jugged
Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please!
a 25-year-old man in connection with the incident.
What's that? You don't believe his name's not Cecil or Clive?
At a presser at 1730 BST Commander Simon Letchford said police were called at 1307 today after a man had been seen attacking a 'dog or cat', and later seen attacking a car. When police arrived on the scene they found a woman in a garden who was declared dead at the scene.

Police say the suspect, a 25 year old male is now in jug at a local hospital receiving treatment for wounds sustained during the course of his arrest. He will be assessed by psychiatrists, tested for drugs and questioned by Homicide and Major Crimes officers. One officer is reported to have broken his wrist during the arrest.

In the "fast moving and difficult situation" police evacuated residents from houses in the street and caused distractions to prevent him carrying out more attacks as he moved from residential garden to garden. He was eventually cornered and disabled in a house.

The officer conducting the presser re-assured the public that "these events on our streets are very unusual and not common", and "based on what we know, we do not believe this was a terror related incident"

DCI John Sandlin, who is leading the investigation, earlier said: "This was a highly visible attack in broad daylight on a residential street. I can understand why this may cause people concern, however we are confident that we are not looking for anyone else at this stage... Local officers and specialist detectives are at the scene and will remain there for many hours to come."

It has been reported that the killer targeted more than one person, with other victims attempting to flee the scene in a car. A silver-grey Ford can be seen inside the police-cordon area with visible damage, and a smashed window.

#7  To be fair, 25 is the right age for paranoid schizophrenia to burst into bloom, and that is often preceded by religious mania. Given that Britain has becom an anti-Christian nation as a matter of policy, a conversion to Islam at that stage of the disease makes sense.

I'm not advocating for biologially crazy over Sudden Jihad Syndrome, but the possibility is real.

#4  Fat Nicolas was a muslim convert.
I missed that, but I guess he found his appropriate religion, worshipping the god of nutcases.

#1  Another jihad spree:

One line of inquiry for detectives is now understood to be whether the man had been inspired by recent footage of the Isil beheadings of two US journalists in Syria.

Locals last night claimed the arrested man had converted to Islam last year.

However, detectives said they had ruled out terrorism as a motive for the killing.

[Of course not. He was volunteering on a community garden project, whacking those infidel weeds. What's your jihad?
