JANIUAY, Iloilo — A 29-year-old man, said to be mentally ill, chopped off the head of his 88-year-old bedridden grandma here last Friday, saying he saw a devil in her.

The suspect, Arthur Glenn Caspe, went to a neighbor’s house in Barangay Tularukan, borrowed a huge knife and then proceeded to the room of his lola Maria Adelantar and beheaded her.

Caspe later took the severed head and dumped it near a water pump outside their house.

His relatives subsequently discovered the gruesome incident and Caspe was arrested. — Leo Solinap
