He "Loved" Her To Death!

Single mother tragically killed by monster.

A California man beheaded his ex-girlfriend for breaking up with him. Again, a restraining order is just a piece of paper and it does not stop a violent offender to commit an act of revenge on their former romantic partner.

The Congress passed a gun reform law that does not go far enough. Since the suspect couldn't get a firearm, he will pick up a knife, a machete or a sword. He could roll up his hands and turn it into a fist. He could have two open hands around the victim's neck or head. The man (or woman) could use a motorized vehicle to intentionally kill the victim.

The suspect could hire a stooge to do a contract kill. 

The suspect could use flammable chemicals or material to set a victim on fire.

The suspect could use an animal to kill a victim.

Everything is useful in the attempts to kill a former lover. 

Thankfully, there is no video of the incident. However, the details are graphic. The suspect is facing LIFE or DEATH in this situation if California state officials determine this is a capital murder.

Karina Castro was a victim of domestic abuse and fatal beheading from her ex.

The woman’s sister and father confirmed the 27-year-old woman was killed. What may have triggered this monster was Karina posting on social media hinting she was breaking up with this monster.

The monster 33, was arrested on homicide charges, according to San Mateo County Sheriff’s Lt. Eamonn Allen. The shocking killing happened at 11:50 a.m. Thursday when Castro was attacked outside her apartment on Magnolia Avenue and Laurel Street.

Witnesses flagged down deputies to alert them of the ongoing sword attack. Allen said the violence stemmed from a domestic dispute between the monster and the victim, who is a young mother of two.

Castro is the mother of the monster’s 1-year-old daughter. According to Castro’s Facebook page, she is a former Menlo-Atherton High School student.

“Karina Castro was tragically beheaded. Her family is broken hearted by her gruesome murder. She leaves behind two beautiful daughters, ages 1 and 7,” a GoFundMe page states.

Castro’s father, Martin Castro, cried as he watched firefighters wash blood stains off of the pavement where his daughter died.

Beautiful soul lost.

“I miss her already. My heart is empty without her. She was my best friend,” Martin Castro told KRON4.

Martin Castro said the monster gave him a bad feeling since the day he met him. “I didn’t like him from day one. He’s been nothing but trouble since the day he came into her life. When she got pregnant by him, my heart dropped,” he said.

Moments after the grisly attack, the monster fled on foot before deputies arrived on scene. Allen said the killer ran two blocks away, but he later returned to the crime scene unarmed. Deputies took him into custody, and investigators combed the neighborhood trying to find the murder weapon.

“There was ample enough time for him to have concealed it,” Allen said. 

The monster was booked into the San Mateo County Jail with no bail. His arraignment is scheduled for Monday.

The victim’s father told KRON4, “I don’t feel he should continue breathing. I think the death penalty would be perfect for him.”

City leaders organized a donation fund to help Castro’s children. Their mother was their primary caregiver.

Mayor Sara McDowell and the San Carlos City Council issued a statement to the community writing, “Our community was shocked by the tragic murder of a young m
