The man accused of beheading a great-grandmother in her back garden is a would-be cage fighter who converted to Islam five years ago, it has emerged.
Nicholas Salvadore, 25, was charged late on Friday with the murder of 82-year-old Palmira Silva, who was hacked to death in an apparently random attack on Thursday afternoon. Mr Salvadore was also charged with assaulting a police officer.
Mrs Silva is understood to have been attacked by a suspect who had argued with his flatmates minutes earlier, prompting them to flee in terror in a car as he smashed one of its windows. The killer then beheaded two cats, ranting as he did so, before targeting Mrs Silva.
A neighbour said the suspect had told her a week ago: “The police are looking for me, but they can't find me, I'm going to hide.”
Neighbours said Mr Salvadore had been living with friends a few doors down from Mrs Silva in Edmonton, north London, for several months and was well known in the area, where he was nicknamed “Fat Nick”.

Flat-place violence, no doubt.
Saying a Muslim beheaded someone is like describing your girlfriend as a brunette.
Domestic Abuse?
There will be a cage fight alright.
They say this is another random attach. I wonder if there is a pattern among these beheadings. Perhaps all the attackers have some subtle trait in common that might serve as a warning to other potential victims.
Could we look at this another way? Can we ask the question, are there reported cases of beheadings in which the perpetrator is NOT Muslim??? That seems to be a common denominator in each shocking beheading case.
That's an unexpected observation, one that no journalist has ever investigated. Perhaps we could give it some thought - but only if we want to be called bigots.
Ever catch the news out of old mexico? Or was your comment specific to the United States?
My comment was specific to America. I was not considering violence done by drug cartels in Mexico.
Well then I agree with you, the media will never turn on obama by calling these acts anything other than domestic, or work place violence. The media are merely minions of satans ambassador.
Islam perp.
Not to be confused with Nick Salvatore, a professor at Cornell University and author of several books (one on Eugene Debs), who must be about 70 years old or so.
