Florida Man Decapitated in Fight Over Woman
Tue Feb 5, 9:36 AM ET

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (Reuters) - A Florida man was decapitated on Monday by a machete-wielding man during a fight over a woman, St. Petersburg police said.


Police responded to a call at a St. Petersburg house to investigate reports of a fight and found Dennis Roache, 34, putting a man's head on the hood of a car, police spokesman George Kajtsa said.

The victim was identified as Gregory Shannon, 18. Kajtsa said Shannon was the boyfriend of Roache's ex-girlfriend. The woman was not identified because she was a witness.

Roache allegedly broke into the house and cut off Shannon's head with a machete, Kajtsa said.

Roache was arrested and is expected to be charged with murder, Kajtsa said.

Was the mechete responsible, or was it the woman

Probably one of those women that enjoys watching her boyfriend beat up other men ("That man looked at me, beat 'em up honey!") and it just went way to far.

BTW, here's another reason not to 'glance' at a woman (I don't care how fine she is!!!) in a public place. Her psycopathic boyfriend might catch you.

Maybe it was the Highlander TV/Film series that was responsible.

He should have his head cut off with a spoon for punishment.

Honestly. Should NetLINE be sued if I decide to decapitate somebody with a hub?
