Texas Horror has turned out to be talking point not only in the United States but also in India. For those who still haven't followed the case in detail, Chandra Nagamallaiah was attacked with a machete and beheaded, allegedly after an argument with his employee.
According to local authorities, 50-year-old Nagamallaiah, originally from Karnataka, was involved in a workplace dispute at a motel where he and the accused, 37-year-old Yordanis Cobos-Martinez, were employed.
Chandra Nagamallaiah's killer Yordanis Cobos-Martinez is turned out to be an undocumented immigrant from Cuba.
The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has started the process of the attacker’s “removal” from the country.
In a statement, the agency highlighted the criminal background of the alleged murderer.
“On September 10, Yordanis Cobos-Martinez- an illegal alien from Cuba with a rap sheet including child sex abuse, grand theft of a motor vehicle, false imprisonment and carjacking - was arrested by Dallas Police Department at a motel in Dallas for murder.”
The killer beheaded Nagamallaiah and kicked the head 'like a soccer ball'
On Wednesday, 41-year-old Nagamallaiah was fatally attacked and decapitated at a motel in Dallas, Texas. 37-year-old Martinez was arrested on Wednesday and charged with capital murder. He is accused of beheading Nagamallaiah and leaving the victim’s head in a trash bin.
“Cobos-Martinez allegedly used a machete to behead a merchant he had an argument in front of the merchant’s spouse and child. Reportedly, Cobos-Martinez then kicked the head of the victim ‘around like a soccer ball.’
ICE has lodged the detainer with the Dallas County Jail, where this criminal illegal alien is being held,” the DHS statement added.
According to media reports, the violence erupted on Wednesday morning after Martinez was told by Nagamallaiah not to use a broken washing machine at the motel.
Martinez reportedly became agitated when Nagamallaiah did not speak to him directly and instead relied on a woman present to translate the instructions.
A disturbing video circulating on social media shows Martinez chasing the victim with a machete and continuing the attack until Nagamallaiah was decapitated. He then kicked the victim’s head into the motel parking lot before picking it up and placing it in a dumpster.
The DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughli blamed the former Biden administration for allowing the undocumented immigrant into the country.
“This gruesome, savage slaying of a victim at a motel by Yordanis Cobos-Martinez was completely preventable if this criminal illegal alien was not released into our country by the Biden Administration since Cuba would not take him back,” she said in a statement.
