The arraignment for the man accused in the horrific beheading a young mother on San Carlos street in broad daylight last week was delayed Monday as his lawyer requested a mental competency exam.
According to the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office, deputies were flagged down in the area of Magnolia Avenue and Laurel Street around 11:50 a.m. Thursday after witnesses reported an assault in progress. When deputies arrived, they found a woman dead at the scene. Witnesses told KPIX that the victim was beheaded in the attack.A makeshift memorial was established outside the apartment complex where she lived.Shortly after the assault, the suspect returned to the scene and was detained.
District Attorney Stephen Wagstaffe said Landaeta was non-responsive and did not speak during his brief court appearance. If he is found not competent, he will not be tried until he is deemed mentally competent. Family members including the victim's father and grandmother were present for the court hearing Monday but declined to speak, leaving the courthouse in tears.
Adrienne Murray told KPIX 5 that she is close with Castro's mother. She said Castro was outside her car when her boyfriend approached.
