An 18-year-old man decapitated his mother and then walked out the front door of her house holding her head in his hand while wielding a knife in the other, authorities said. His public defender, C. Boyd Sturges III, said he spoke with him for an hour in the Franklin County jail. The deputy appeared to have just handcuffed the suspect and seemed rattled when Mullins approached to ask if he needed help. Mullins then went back to his house across the street and told his 91-year-old mother to stay inside. He said a half-dozen more law enforcement vehicles arrived within minutes, and a deputy covered the woman's head.
