DETROIT - A factory worker attacked and killed a fellow employee with a sword the suspect apparently made himself at the metals plant where both men worked, police said Thursday.
Witnesses told police the 30-year-old man had complained he was being bullied by another worker at Peerless Metals, which makes metal powders used in automobile brakes.
The suspect had been working on the sword for several days, apparently at work, and when he finished Wednesday, he struck the 40-year-old victim in the neck, nearly decapitating him, said police spokesman James Tate.
The suspect ran away but later returned to the factory. When police arrived, he was having a beer, authorities said.
No names were immediately released.

I wonder if his beer was dug up along with a stolen body, too.

I hope you are laughing at the fact that he was drinking, not that he killed the guy.
