LONDON — Helicopter footage shows a machete-wielding madman rampaging through a British street after having decapitated a grandmother.
The suspect, Nicholas Salvador, smashes his way through back yards on a London road.
It reveals how children in the killer’s path continued playing as police chiefs, fearing a bloodbath, desperately scrambled to capture him.
Salvador, who minutes earlier had decapitated Palmira Silva, 82, in her own back garden, was today cleared of murder on the grounds of insanity. The 25-year-old was sentenced to a psychiatric hospital for an indefinite time limit, under the Mental Health Act.
