Search warrant: Wisconsin woman beheaded with sword
SUN PRAIRIE, Wis. (AP) — A 68-year-old Wisconsin woman was stabbed and beheaded with a sword with a 4-foot blade, according to a search warrant.
Jane Skalitzky, a retired special education teacher, was found dead at a town house in Sun Prairie, a suburb of the state capital of Madison. A 40-year-old man was arrested last Friday.
A search warrant filed Wednesday said Skalitzky was stabbed and beheaded, the Wisconsin State Journal reported.
According to the warrant, Skalitzky had driven the suspect to the town house where he sometimes stayed. The warrant said the man's roommate said he heard "stomping noises" from upstairs and heard the woman scream, "No, no, no."
When the roommate got upstairs, he found the man holding the sword and standing over the woman's body on the floor. Skalitzky had been decapitated and also had injuries to her hands, the roommate said.
The roommate said he approached the suspect, who quietly gave up the sword and let his roommate lead him "like a child" to a downstairs couch. The roommate went outside to call 911, and police arrived and took the suspect into custody. No formal charges had been filed as of Thursday, according to online court records.
The officers found a bloody sword on the town house porch. The search warrant said police also found a machete and a semi-automatic pistol with a laser sight in the town house.
The suspect was taken to a secure mental health facility, where he remains, Dane County Sheriff's Lt. Kerry Porter said Wednesday.
Skalitzky retired in 2007 after a 30-year career as a special education teacher in the Sun Prairie School District. Her funeral is set for Friday.
Shirley Fass, who also was a teacher in the district, remembered Skalitzky as a strong advocate for her students and a caring, engaged co-worker who was "fun and bubbly."
"She cared so much about everybody," Fass said Monda

Well as low-key as this is, not much information on the murdering bastard-that tells me he most likely is a prayer rug praying, raghead piece of shit.
If not then 2nd choice is a liberal crazy ass bastard that thinks obama is a messiah. Odds are a 100 to 1 he is one of those two.
Had he been a white Christian conservative this would have already been blasted to the high heavens and back again!--Tyr

It did kind of have a muzzie feel to it, but that doesn't appear to be the case.
Looks like she was murdered by her own step-son, and he's a nutjob that was off his meds.

I am going on a rant here. I am sick to death of the childish nonsense on this board and some other sites. How is it appropriate to immediately jump on a story like this to put forth your own agenda? Anti muslim, anti left wing, anti right wing, endlessly. As far as I am concerned you are all lacking in a little human compassion. This poor woman was apparently murdered by her mentally ill son for pity's sake. If she has surviving family, what would they think of your reducing their family tragedy to an excuse to push your own bete noirs forward as the culprit. How about a SERIOUS discussion about how to create better resources for the family of the mentally ill to help avoid this sort of thing? It's just easier to blame Obama or blame the imams or blame freaking Santa Claus. Here's a hard truth. AS A SOCIETY, WE ARE FAILING EACH OTHER AND IT TOTALLY SUCKS!

Tyr said what first popped into every single person's mind when first hearing it.
Ranting about normal reactions and thoughts when confronted with a beheading is a little over the top. As soon as details emerged showing it was a nutjob rather than a muzzie, it was posted here in this thread by me.
I think it's a little disingenuous of you to say that it's putting forth an agenda when it's a common reaction by every American when hearing about a beheading to not immediately think that it's probably going to be another muzzie run amok on a helpless, unarmed civilian. That's the signature style of a muslim atrocity, like it or not.
That happens because it's always a muzzie beheading someone except in very rare cases where it was a mentally ill person living out a 'Kill Bill' scene or something.
Be honest - your first thought was it was probably a muslim, right? I sure as hell did, and I'll bet money so did you. Normal people don't run around whacking off heads unless you subscribe to a particular religion.

My first reaction was how awful it was. My second was I hope they figure it out. I DON'T have a need to jump in with a stereotype to tag onto a crime. There was a murder suicide here on Long Island a year ago - a son murdered his mother just before Halloween by beheading her and then jumped in front of a train. Anonymous murder by a Muslim fanatic is something bizarre to assume. People are, by and large, murdered by people they know. Nobody else is likely to get as pissed off at us as those we are closest to.

I don't like the presumption that someone using a sword is a Muslim. Hell, I'd LOVE to get into a sword fight with one of those Arab assholes. I've been able to use two different types of swords since my 20s. Give me a katana or a claymore and you better know your stuff.
Just because these idiot ISIS whackjobs like to use beheading as a means of outraging us doesn't mean a thing about the weapon. It's like blaming a gun. It ain't the weapon. It's the person using it.

Greatly honest and fantastically open minded post, Nonnie......I'll remember this and appreciate the honesty immensely. Do we still know anything about the creep? I'll laugh my @$$ off when Tyr is right (AGAIN) and will commend him for at least being honest. To bad we have WAY too many dis-honest folks contributing to our downfall as a Nation of "OSTRICHES".

My judgement is based on past similar posts. It took less than an hour for NT to post the full story to refute the OP's accusations. The OP could have easily found it also if he had wanted to since it was already out there at the time of his posting. He chose not to and went with his usual baseless ranting instead in the hope it would be true.

Beheading in Islamic scripture[edit]
Instructions regarding decapitation are found in both the Quran, the Hadith as well as the Siras. The Quran itself mentions decapitation twice, including a verse concerning fighting unbelievers, in which it implores Muslims to "strike off their heads until you have crushed them completely; then bind the prisoners tightly."[2][3] Much of the justification for beheading however, comes from the Siras and Hadiths rather than the Quran itself. The Siras, the number of traditional biographies of Muhammad, speak of decapitation on numerous occasions, several of which portray beheadings ordered directly by Muhammad himself.
The Jews were made to come down, and Allah’s Messenger imprisoned them. Then the Prophet went out into the marketplace of Medina, and he had trenches dug in it. He sent for the Jewish men and had them beheaded in those trenches. They were brought out to him in batches. They numbered 800 to 900 boys and men. The affair continued until the Messenger of Allah had finished with them all.
— Al-Tabari, Vol. 8, p. 35
Beheading in Islamic law[edit]
Countries with decapitation as a legal penalty
In law but no longer in use
In law and in use
During the development of Islamic Law or Sharia, the majority of scholars supported beheading as a valid form of punishment within Islam. Influential medieval Muslim scholars such as Al-Zamakhshari and Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabari considered beheading to be sanctioned by God as the punishment for unbelievers and blasphemous Muslims.[4][5]
Currently Saudi Arabia is the only country in the world which uses decapitation within its Islamic legal system, though it also a legal form of punishment in Iran, Qatar and Yemen. Numerous non-state actors, including Islamic organisations such as ISIL, Al Qaeda and other Jihadist groups use or have used beheading as a punishment.
Beheading is a legal form of execution in Iran, Qatar and Yemen, but the punishment has been suspended in those countries. The majority of executions carried out by the Wahhabi government of Saudi Arabia are public beheadings, which usually cause mass gatherings but are not allowed to be photographed or filmed. Since 2002, however, jihadist groups such as al-Qaeda and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant have been mass circulating beheading videos as a form of terror and propaganda.[6]
Historical occurences[edit]
Numerous occasions of beheadings by Muslims of non-Muslims have been recorded. Especially among the Ottoman military, who routinely decapitated captive enemies or those unwilling to convert to Islam.[7]
After the Battle of Zallaqa in 1086, 24,000 corpses of defeated Castilian soldiers were beheaded "and piled them up to make a sort of minaret for the muezzins who, standing on the piles of headless cadavers, sang the praises of Allah." The Almohads routinely beheaded Christian enemies after any lost battles.[8]
Following the Battle of Kosovo in 1389, the Muslim army beheaded the Serbian king and many Christian prisoners.[8]
Saladin personally beheaded Raynald of Châtillon, a knight who served in the Second Crusade after the Battle of Hattin.[9]
Following the Battle of Varna in 1444, the Ottomans beheaded King Ladislaus of Hungary.[10]
Following the Fall of Constantinople, the Ottomans sent the head of the dead Byzantine emperor to major cities in the sultanate.[11]
In 1463, the Grand Mufti of the Ottoman Empire personally decapitated King Stephen of Bosnia and his sons after their surrender.[12]
Forces of the Ottoman Empire invaded and laid siege to the city of Otranto and its citadel. After capture, more than 800 of its inhabitants – who refused to convert to Islam – were beheaded.[13]
In 1526 2,000 Hungarian prisoners of war were beheaded by the Ottoman army.[14]
In 1807 several hundred British prisoners of war who had been fighting in Egypt were decapitated.[15]
Muhammad Ahmad declared himself Mahdi in 1880 and led Jihad against the Ottoman Empire and their British allies. He and his followers beheaded opponents, Christian and Muslim alike including the British general Charles Gordon.[16]
Modern occurence[edit]
Modern instances of Islamist beheading date at least to the First Chechen War (1994–96), and to the beheading of Yevgeny Rodionov, a Russian soldier who refused to convert to Islam, whose subsequent beheading has led some within the Russian Orthodox Church to venerate him as a martyr.[17]
The 2002 beheading of American journalist Daniel Pearl by Al-Qaeda member Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in Pakistan drew international attention, attention enhanced by the intensity of hatred for Western culture and Jews expressed by the murderers, and by the release of a beheading video.[18]
Beheadings have emerged as a terror tactic in Iraq since 2003.[19] Civilians have borne the brunt of the beheadings, although U.S. and Iraqi military personnel have also been targeted. After kidnapping the victim, the kidnappers typically make some sort of demand of the government of the hostage's nation and give a time limit for the demand to be carried out, often 72 hours. Beheading is often threatened if the government fails to heed the wishes of the hostage takers. Frequently the crude beheadings are videotaped and made available on the Internet. One of the most publicized executions of an American was that of Nick Berg.[20][21][22]
Since 2004 insurgents in South Thailand began to sow fear in attacks where men and women of the local Buddhist minority were beheaded.[23] On 18 July 2005 two militants entered a teashop in South Thailand, shot Lek Pongpla, a Buddhist cloth vendor, beheaded him and left the head outside of the shop.[24]
According to Peter R. Neumann, Director of the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation and Political Violence at King's College London, viral beheading videos are intended as and are at least somewhat effective as a recruiting tool for jihad among both Western and Middle Eastern youth.[25][26] Other observers argue that while Al Qaeda initially used beheading as a publicity tool, it later decided that they caused Muslims to recoil from Islamism and that although ISIS/IS is enthusiastically deploying beheading as a tactic in 2014, it, too, may find that the tactic backfires.[27]

Just because decapitation is a common form of execution in Arabic countries. Just because terrorists have used it. If the frequency of use is any indicator, why isn't the knee jerk reaction drug dealer? The most cursory exploration of the web reveals a plethora of beheadings and decapitations as a feature of Mexican and South American drug wars. In a fifteen minute search I found dozens of other articles about murders where beheading or post mortem decapitation was a significant feature. My first reaction still stands. It's so much easier to just attach a tag of Islamic terrorist than to wait for the additional information to surface and get the whole picture. I'm disappointed. I gave my fellow posters credit for more brains than that.

I wasn't accusing you of doing anything. I was also referring to beheading. It's centuries old and the preferred method of pre-Meijin Japan. I merely commented on the method. I started learning kenjutsu in my teens. That was a few days back.:laugh:
I just don't like the assumption that a Muslim did it when they use scimitars and couldn't do jack shit in a real fight.
