British store worker, 62, beheaded by man in Tenerife

A MAN randomly attacked and beheaded a 62-year-old woman in a supermarket on the Spanish resort island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands.

The suspect, believed to be a homeless Bulgarian man with a police record, was detained by security guards after he ran out of the Chinese supermarket in the Valdes Shopping Centre with the blood-soaked head of a British woman in his hands.

“Guards from the commercial centre jumped on him and the head was rolling on the floor,” said Araceli Perez, 33, who works for Ocean Properties, adding the victim was reportedly British but of Chinese ancestry.
