A federal official says an 18-year-old man accused of decapitating his mother in Zebulon, North Carolina, on Monday was in the country illegally. The suspect, Oliver Funes Machada (above), was charged with first-degree murder Monday after authorities say he called 911 to say he had killed his mother. Funes was found walking down the street with her severed head in one hand and a bloody butcher’s knife in the other. Bryan Cox, a spokesman for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said that the suspect was from Honduras and was in the country illegally.
