A man was stabbed 100 times, beheaded and had his heart cut out by alleged El Salvadorian gang members in a park near Washington DC, a court reportedly heard on Thursday. Police only became aware of the murder in September, when an informant led them to a shallow grave in the park. They have yet to identify the victim, described as a Hispanic male, and believe the murder took place between last December and last March. He was also the first person to stab the victim, McGann told the court. U.S. President Donald Trump, who has regularly linked immigrants with crime, has vowed to eradicate the gang and his administration said it is prioritising the prosecution and deportation of gang members.
