Franklin County (NC) sheriff’s deputies charge teen with beheading his mother

ZEBULON Franklin County sheriff’s deputies have charged a teenager with first-degree murder, after the sheriff says he decapitated his mother at their home northeast of Zebulon.

Sheriff Kent Winstead told reporters that the teen walked out of the house as a deputy arrived holding his mother’s head in one hand and what appeared to be a large butcher knife in the other. “It was a gruesome scene,” Winstead said.

Deputies arrested Oliver Funez, 18. They said the body of his mother, Yesenia Funez Beatriz Machado, was inside the house.

Two young siblings, ages about 2 or 3, were home at the time of the incident but were unharmed, Winstead said. A fourth child was at school at the time, he said.

Winstead said it was too early to determine what led to the killing.

Deputies said Funez called 911 to report a homicide at the family’s home at 90 Morgan Drive, off Carlyle Road, at about 12:47 p.m. He was arrested without incident.

“He stayed on 911 until the deputy arrived, talking the whole time,” Winstead said.

It's agriculture. But most of the labor intensive work is in the autumn during tobacco harvest. It takes about 5 or so weeks to harvest tobacco because they only take off a layer of leaf per week, and leave the rest to keep maturing. The crews will move to a different farm each day of the week, returning the following week to where they started.

The rest of the year it's miscellaneous agriculture and construction. Raleigh is about 40 miles away and they commute to a lot of day labor and construction jobs there.

But there aren't an overwhelming number of hispanics. The main problem is local ferals involved in robbery, home invasions, drug dealing, burglary, shoplifting. They roam the county looking for crimes of opportunity.

Except for the much older blacks with graying hair, most seem allergic to work, agricultural work in particular. It has almost become like an American version of South Africa; I'm not kidding.

If it wasn't for the ferals, it would be close to paradise on earth, hunting, fishing, horse trails.

I didn’t see that until I was “admonished”....My brain isn’t working as I’m taking care of my husband with a broken shoulder and I’m not even sure what state/county I’m in. I’m not even sure of my name either.

Thanks - your reply was without sarcasm and I appreciate that.

Thank you - it will be a long haul, I’m afraid and prayers will certainly be needed and appreciated. Why don’t these things happen when we’re young and better able to handle them? Stupid question, I know..
