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.

Scum. Doing this on the job, too. Well, he’s up for murder now. Looks like she died.

"fact. Pot is a psychotropic - there are reasons it was banned early on compared to alcohol, cocaine and tobacco."

OMG, now you want to introduce facts into a discussion of pot use.

“fact. Pot is a psychotropic - there are reasons it was banned early on compared to alcohol, cocaine and tobacco.”

Give me a break. It was banned early on because it was associated with Mexicans. OTOH, cocaine use is certainly associated with psychotic behaviour. Are you getting your talking points from “Reefer Madness”?

“Unless you are growing your own, you have no idea what chemicals may have been used to grow it or to prepare it or enhance it as a product.”

Actually, I don’t know about this guy, but in Canada marijuana is now available from government approved licensed producers through government licensed stores. The production processes are monitored and the product is tested. Of course, that’s because we DID legalize it here.

Actually it looks like it was considered a poison. No relation to Mexicans.

Just doing the appliance hook-ups, beatings and burnings American’s won’t do.

It’s only legal in a half dozen states in the US and even they still have a strong black market because the taxes keep the price higher than street weed.

These psychotics are generally so messed up on their own special cocktails, it’s no surprise at all that their mania becomes homicidal.

A totally senseless, cold-blooded murder. Just kill the POS now, so we in Florida don’t have to support his sorry *ss for the rest of his life.

Never saw pot have that sort of effect - unless it was laced with another substance...
