It happened last night in the Murcia town of Santomera
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.
It happened yesterday in Santomera in Murcia, and the Civil Guard say the man, named as a 35 year old called Angelo Caratenutto, has now been arrested.
