From the Santa Monica Observer:

Immigration sources confirm that Jose Solano Landaeta, the suspect who beheaded a 27 year old mother of two in a San Carlos, CA neighborhood September 8th, was in the United States illegally. Jose Solano Landaeta, 33 from Venezuela, entered the country on a tourist visa about ten years ago, say ICE sources. He never left.

Landaeta is said to have swung a Samurai sword at his ex-girlfriend's neck, separating her head from her body. First responders were said to have been revolted by the scene.

The unspeakable incident unfolded at 11:55 am near Laurel Street and Magnolia Avenue, reported Bay Area news station KRON4. Some sources say her two children were watching, but the County Sheriff's office denies this.
