A man decapitated his mother and then went for a walk though the town hall square with the head, wrapped in a rag under his arm. As he walked about barechested he could be heard saying,
‘I’ve killed her – now you are quiet, I love you so much’.
When police intervened at around 9pm last night, and took the package from the man, he told them that was his mother’s head.
