* Attacker ran through streets carrying victim's bloodied head
* Security guards tackled him to the ground Tourists watched in horror today as a crazed knifeman hacked off a woman's head and ran with it through a popular Spanish resort. The killer attacked the woman with a machete without uttering a word in a busy shopping centre in Los Cristianos, in Tenerife, at around 10.25 am. Witnesses said he then fled the store with the severed head in his hands and his victim's blood dripping to the ground. Horror: A woman who is believed to be British has head her head cut off at a shopping centre in Tenerife, today Horror: A woman who is believed to be British has head her head cut off at a shopping centre in Tenerife, today Security guards chased him down the street and rugby tackled him to the floor, holding him until police arrived. An eye-witness told local radio: 'I was parking my car outside the supermarket and I saw this man running out with something bloody in his hands. 'It was a head. He had it in his hands. The security guards chased him and threw him to the floor and overpowered him.' The witness said the head rolled along the ground as the suspect was apprehended. Police said a homeless Bulgarian man, with a criminal record, had been arrested on suspicion of murder. His victim, who has not yet been identified, was working at a mini-market in the Valdes shopping centre in the heart of Los Cristianos.

Dominica Fernandez, Madrid's representative in the Canary Islands, said the killer had 'chosen his victim by chance'. The horrific murder took place at around 10.25am in the popular shopping centre in the small district of Avenida Juan Carlos I. A source at the National Police said: 'At the moment we are investigating whether he was carrying the knife when he entered the store, or whether he picked it up inside.' The source said the suspect was 'very well known' to officers in the area. Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands, an archipelago off the coast of north west Africa. It is one of the UK's most popular holiday destinations with around 1.5 million of us visiting every year. Brits mostly visit the resorts on the south of the island, like Los Cristianos, where the attack happened, and neighbouring Playa de las Americas.

You are indeed correct Aunty,but though an awful incident,the black comedy value of Bulgarian tramps in Chinese supermarkets decapitating pensioners,heads rolling down the street and,the quote that the "Dishevelled man was walking downt he road with the head under his arm apparently talking to it!!"

"I glanced behind me and a guy was ambling down the street holding what I assumed to be a joke head, by the hair."
He said security guards gave chase to him, eventually managing to bring him down and restrain him. "The guy did not seem completely right to me, he was a bit dishevelled, not particularly smart and as he was walking with the head he was muttering as if asking the head questions. ![]() |

BBC just reports a 62 yr old British woman being stabbed. It's true, they don't produce good drama any more I think they had someone with two left feet on this story or something. When I went on to the bbc site this afternoon there was a link under news to woman beheaded, but the actual article made no reference to the beheading, only to her being stabbed. They seem to have caught up now... |

Horrendous stuff.
Incidentally, I reckon this might be the one case in history where the Number One Chit Chat Detective Agency accuse the right man |

they were saying on radio 5 earlier they'd been asked not to reveal the gory details until the next of kin had been contacted

Absolutely appalling that an innocent woman shopper can be quite literally 'topped' in broad daylight

what i dont understand, there are full of shoppers, where was the security guy at the time of the beheading too? couldnt someone take a stool, take something from the staff room of the shop, take some metal pole or anything in the shop and approach the killer?
first he stabs the woman, then he cuts her head off, its not easy just take the head off, you have to cut it , it takes few minutes. SO THEY JUST ALL STOOD AND WATCHED THIS HAPPEN??? when she was beheaded than a security guard pins the guy to the ground?? |
