They just chopped the engineers head off with an axe.
I don't know exactly what happened to Perl. Some reports say severed. Others say just his throat was slit.

There's a lot of precident for them videotaping a live man being decapitated. There are a number of links to articles on different victims carried here on FR.
Just slitting his throat is unlikely but not impossible. Early reports did mention decaptiation. Some other governments have shown such videos in the past.
I'm disgusted that the press is detailing all sorts of horrendous acts committed by Andrea Yates against her children (new details every day) and yet they are being tight lipped on this murder that was directed at America (and that foreign travelling Americans could be subjected to).

The engineer was the Ukrainian - Victor something? His mother could not come up with ransom money to free him. That was the video in the glade, and he laid his head on the tree stump, right?
Just before he was beheaded he asked for mercy for the other prisoners who were with him. That video was shown on tv in Germany and some of the netherlands.
