Man ran into supermarket on Spanish island, grabbed knife, killed woman then ran out carrying head, reports say A man has beheaded a woman in a supermarket on the Spanish resort island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands, according to local authorities. The suspect, believed to be a homeless Bulgarian man with a police record, was detained by security guards after he ran out of the supermarket with the head in his hands. A witness told broadcaster Cadena Ser he saw the man drop the head on the pavement after coming out of the store. “I parked my car and saw a man running out with something bloody in his hands and a security guard chasing him. He threw it to the ground, it almost hit me and what he had been carrying was a woman’s head.” Regional interior ninistry delegate Dominica Fernandez said the suspect was believed to have entered the shop and stolen a knife, which he then used to kill and behead the woman, whose identity has not been released. Fernandez told journalists the attack appeared to be random and that the man was well known in the area. The events took place shortly after 10am in the southern town of Arona, about 10 miles north of the beach resort of Los Cristianos. Spain Europe guardian.co.uk
