Beheading horror in street
By Richard Edwards and Chris Millar, Evening Standard
14 March 2005
A man was beheaded in a London street today by an attacker wielding an axe.
Mothers on the school run were among those who saw the horrific killing in Eton Avenue near the Hampstead Theatre in Belsize Park.
The man with the axe approached his victim and repeatedly struck him as he screamed for help. When officers arrived it is reported the attacker was standing over the body and told them: "It's private."
A scaffolder working nearby saw the axeman running towards his victim with the weapon held above his head. Seconds later he struck the first of a series of heavy blows which continued even when the victim lay slumped on the pavement.
The workman said: "It was unremitting.
"The man with the axe ran at his victim and just laid into him. He brought it down on his head and floored him. The victim had tried to defend himself with his arms and I heard him shout something. But it was hopeless.
"Within seconds he was on the floor and his head had been split open. There was blood pouring from his head and spilling onto the pavement. It was horrific."
The scaffolder, who would not be named, said he believed the two men knew each other as they had seemed to exchange a few words before the attack.
With his victim dead at his feet, the attacker put the axe down and stood impassively until police arrived at the scene.
The scaffolder went on: "Police arrived a few minutes after the attack and the axeman was still there."
He added: "I heard them question him. They asked him why he had done it and he said: 'It's complicated. It's private'."
Avelina Rodrigues, 48, said the attacker ignored her pleas to stop as he brought blow after blow down upon his victim, leaving the body badly mutilated.
She said: "I heard the first thuds of the axe as it hit the man's head. I thought it was the sound of a child being hit by a car.
"I ran to the front of the house and 20 feet away I could see a man, I guess of about 43, smartly dressed, tall and thin with the axe in his hand.
"The axeman saw me but he just ignored me. He hacked his victim's head cutting it as if it was a block of wood for a fire. His victim was unconscious on the ground, but he kept bringing his axe down on him. I begged him to stop and he just looked at me without emotion. There was no anger in his face, he did not seem crazy.
"He was just coolly finishing off his victim. He wanted to destroy him."
Another woman, a passerby in a car, stopped and pleaded with the man to stop his attack and leave his victim alone, but he ignored her. He also ignored pleas from builders working nearby and continued attacking his victim until the police arrived.
Police arrested a man at the scene and he is currently being held for questioning at Holborn Police Station.
Eton Avenue is known as one the most exclusive streets in north London with a host of multi million-pound properties.
Belsize Park is also the home to a host of celebrities.

Either way, the British should outlaw the use of axes. |
Well, for a start, I think its illegal to carry axes around with you on the street . You can only have a 3+ inch knife if you have a valid reason to have it on you (work etc).

How about pikes, lances, maces, war hammers and halbreds?

Either that or lovers, or in love with the same woman.

The attacker has an axe, you suggest the builders attack him with what, exactly ?
A set of paint brushes ? A wheelbarrow ? |
some rollers have long handles, and a wheelbarrow could certainly be used to force the attacker back.

I'm unfamiliar with North American buildings sites, but in the United Kingdom, assault weapons aren't an integral part of a builder's kit. |
Sledge hammers, carpenters hammers, pipes (as two of them did), rope, chain, axes, pick-axes, crow bars, cats claws, steel buckets, 2x4s, rods, razor blades, knives, spades, shovels, rakes, stakes/spikes, chunks of cement/large rocks, chainsaws, I can think of more.
If it is a crooked operation Im sure the forman has a gun stashed somewhere.
They also had numerical superiority.

Sounds nasty though, as was my first thought when i heard it (muslim extremist).
What the **** is wrong with these people. They see a person getting attacked and plead with the attacker to stop? They're at a building site, there are any number of weapons there, they should have attacked the attacker.
at least two of them had some ****ing balls
