LA HABRA, Calif. An Orange County man cut off his mother's head with a circular saw and then died after trying to decapitate himself, authorities said.
Police answered a 911 report of a family dispute at a Pinehurst Avenue home just after 5:30 a.m. Tuesday, entered a locked bedroom and found the body of 60-year-old Guadalupe Ruiz on a bed, police spokeswoman Cindy Knapp said.
Arthur Ruiz Jr., 32, was on another bed with the saw nearby. He had died of neck injuries, police said.
It was unclear why Ruiz attacked his mother, police said.
A child and three other adults were in the three-bedroom home when police arrived. Several families rented rooms in the home, Knapp said.

But first, lets' take a minute to talk about... shop safety.
I haven’t seen anything about immigration status, but the dead perp had other criminal problems.
Arthur Ruiz was sentenced to 18 days in jail and three years probation for refusing to leave a home on Thanksgiving 2004. He was sentenced to 45 days in jail and three years probation for being under the influence of drugs in Fullerton in 2000. He also pleaded guilty to driving drunk in Garden Grove in 1999.[snip]

Chain saw...
Circular saw...
By using a circular saw, the murderous psycho was obviously looking for a slightly more precise cut than he'd get with a chain saw.
LOL!! Yeah, soon as I typed that I noticed what I’d done. Not good either way. Dang!! A circular saw....you’d have to make a couple passes with that,wouldn’t ya? UGH! And I though my kids didn’t like me!
He should have started with himself first and told her to stop screaming because she was next.
Sorry, but LOL.
A bit more information:

Guillermina Neri, who showed up later with a friend, said she was among eight people who live in the house. She has lived there for two months.
She thought she was awakened by a house alarm Tuesday. She said it sounded like something electrical. She also heard a “low screaming.”
Police arrived and told her not to come out of her room.
The mother was a respectful woman who always said hello, Neri said. She worked a house cleaner.
“She was a very nice person,” Neri said.
Neri never noticed any problems between the mother and son. She said she rarely saw the son during the day, and when she did he would wear a jacket with a hood hiding his face.
“He used to come out at night,” Neri said through a translator.
The mother always said the son was sick and very shy, Neri said.
Neighbors, who describe their street as quiet, did not know much about the victims. They said the people who live at the house have lived there for three years.
Paula Sanchez, who lives across the street, said she had waved at the victims occasionally.

This is just horrible.
Thanks for more details. “Sick”, is right!
More weird stuff in So-Cal...

He should have used a demolition blade in a Sawzall instead.
Or an electric chainsaw, what a loser.
Well, I am sure there are also many legal immigrants with that name, but the crowded housing situation is a red flag to me.
