Man apparently cut off woman's head with sword in middle of street in Bay Area neighborhood, law enforcement sources say
The suspect and victim had been in a relationship, but law enforcement sources told ABC7's sister station KGO-TV that in April she had gotten a temporary restraining order against the suspect, identified as Hayward resident Jose Solano Landaeta.
The San Mateo Co. Sheriff's Department said the crime happened in the 300-400 block of Laurel Street and Magnolia Avenue at 11:50 a.m., in the street outside the victim's residence. During a press conference, Lt. Eamon Allen said that the victim had two children, who did not witness the crime. Sources tell Noyes the kids were inside the house at the time.
"They arrived within minutes and found an obviously deceased female in the street in that area," Allen said. "They began to work the scene and shortly thereafter, the male suspect arrived back at the scene and was quickly detained by sheriff's deputies. He was later placed under arrest for homicide. We can confirm that a stabbing instrument was used in the commission of the crime. That weapon is still outstanding.
