Her 34 year old son decapitated her in the bar she owned in the Murcia town of Santomera, and then carried her head, wrapped in a bloody rag, around the town under his arm.
It has emerged that the mother who was decapitated by her son in the Murcia town of Santomera on Monday night had been on Spanish television to denounced that her life was in danger.
Teresa Macanás told the cameras that she was aware of the danger she was in and that she was terrified.

‘He’s not bad, he’s not bad’, she said to TVE state TV, ‘But what he takes makes him mad. And he is destroying our life. I can’t go on, because something terrible will happen… He could even hit us and kill us’. The words were broadcast on the ‘Gente’ television programme which noted that the mother had placed four official complaints for domestic violence at the hands of her son, but the police were not effective.

The Government Delegate in Murcia, Ángel González, said that the son, who on Monday night walked through the town with the bloody head of his mother under his arm, had been arrested on four occasions as a result of domestic violence against her.
He added that there was no distancing order in place against the son currently, describing what had happened on Monday as ‘a crime of domestic violence, and not violence against women’.
It has since been revealed that the son was imprisoned on two occasions after beating his mother.

The son, 34 year old Angelo Coratenuto Macanás, was taken on Tuesday afternoon from the Murcia barracks of the Civil Guard to declare before the Instruction Court six in the town.
