North Carolina Teen Accused of Decapitating Mom, Walked Out with Head
As two young children cried in the background, an unemotional North Carolina teen calmly admitted to a 911 operator that he stabbed his mother to death “because I felt like it,” television station WNCN in Raleigh reported Thursday.
“You felt like it, OK. Who did you kill?” the dispatcher asked 18-year-old Oliver Mauricio Funes-Machado
“My mom,” the caller said.
“What was she doing? Did she make you mad? Or what happened?” the operator asked.
“Yes, she made me mad,” Funes-Machado responded. He proceeded to tell the clearly horrified operator he stabbed 35-year-old Yesenia Funes-Machado “like 8 times.”
“Oh mercy. OK,” the dispatcher replied.
When the 911 operator asked him where the knife was, the teen responded, “It’s in her mouth.”
Two young children, ages 2 and 4, were also home at the time, but the teen told the operator he wasn’t going to hurt them. They could be heard crying as the teen spoke to the dispatcher, according to WNCN.
For 16 minutes, the dispatcher managed to keep the teen on the phone, questioning him about the brutal killing, which took place Monday.
As he talked with the teen, first responders rushed to the Franklin County home.
When deputies arrived, they said Funes-Machado walked out of the home with a knife in one hand and his mother’s severed head in the other.
Inside the home, deputies discovered “a decapitated body on the floor between the kitchen and the living room and two small children inside,” according to an affidavit obtained by WNCN.
The teen was taken into custody without incident.
Funes-Machado has been charged with first-degree murder and is being held in prison, awaiting a probable cause hearing next Tuesday.
A family friend told WNCN that the young man’s mother had him committed to a mental health facility earlier this week, and that he had been released just a week before the horrific killing.
In addition to the murder charge, federal authorities said that the teen, originally from Honduras, was wanted by ICE for living in the U.S. illegally, WNCN reported.

Texas Man Allegedly Beheaded Wife and Put Her Head in Freezer in Battle of ‘Good and Evil’
A 23-year-old Texas man who police claim confessed to decapitating his 21-year-old wife and placing her head into their freezer allegedly described the killing as “a battle between good and evil” as he was being interrogated, PEOPLE confirms.
On Wednesday, a grand jury returned an indictment against 23-year-old Davie Dauzat, who allegedly stabbed Natasha Dauzat to death in August while their young children were in a separate room of their Bellmead, Texas, home.
The indictment charges Davie with a single count: murder for his wife’s Aug. 25 death.
He remains in police custody on $500,000 bond.
According to the indictment, police received a call the morning of Aug. 25 from Davie’s brother, who told investigators he was worried about Davie after speaking with him on the phone. The brother told police Davie made “weird statements” during the call and asked “funny questions.”
He told police he wasn’t sure if his brother’s statements were drug-induced or serious.
Police were dispatched to the Dauzat home, but Davie refused to come out, the indictment alleges. Over time, officers were able to talk him into surrendering. Once inside the home, they found the couple’s children unharmed but drenched in their mother’s blood.
The medical examiner ruled Natasha’s cause of death due to “sharp-force injuries, including decapitation,” according to the indictment.
Davie allegedly admitted to police that killing his wife was wrong but later defended the move, arguing the slaying “was a battle between good and evil,” according to the indictment.
Davie allegedly told investigators he’d used drugs prior to the slaying, but the indictment doesn’t list any substances other than marijuana, which he had smoked with his wife earlier that day.
Joseph Marcee, Davie’s attorney, did not return calls seeking comment. It is unclear if Davie has entered a plea.
