BOCA RATON, Fla. - Jorge Dupre Lachazo was contracted to deliver and help set up new appliances at the home of an elderly woman in Boca Raton, Florida, but police said he beat the 75-year-old woman with a mallet and poured a chemical on her before setting her on fire.

Police found the woman unconscious on her laundry room floor Monday morning, WPTV reported.

She had injuries to her head and burns to most of her body.

Police said Lachazo had worked with another man to deliver the appliances. Once they were hooked up, the other man went outside to make a call as Lachazo showed the woman the new washer and dryer and answered any questions, WPTV reported.

That's when the other man heard screams and ran inside. He found blood near the woman on the laundry room floor, WPEC reported.

The man said "Lachazo was acting very strange" and told his co-worker he had to leave. Then he got into the delivery truck and drove away, WPTV reported.

Police said when they eventually caught Lachazo he was sweaty and shaking like he was nervous. They also said his leg hair was burned and he had ashes on his body.

In examining the scene, police said there was a strong chemical smell in the laundry room and a mallet with blood on it was found on the washing machine, WPTV reported.

The other guy did not call police? He would be guilty too.

What in the honest heck? Drugs aside, that right there is demon possession. No other way to explain it.

I’m an older fellow. And I occasionally have delivery people or tradesmen in my home. No problem. I believe most people are good. But I am also discretely armed. Because I also believe in covering all the bases.

Side note: For those who are not into firearms, police-grade pepper spray is nasty stuff. I recommend the Fox brand. It’s available on Amazon.

And we have to listen to Democrats whine that Pres. Trump said that many people coming into our country are criminals. Too bad there is no running total of all the criminal aliens who are caught every year in the USA.
