Woman beheading
A man has appeared in court charged with the murder of 82-year-old Palmira Silva who was beheaded in north London.Nicholas Salvador, of Enfield, north London, is alleged to have killed the elderly woman with a machete in the garden of her home in Nightingale Road, Edmonton, on Thursday. Salvador, 25, was led into the glass-fronted dock with his hands cuffed behind his back, escorted by four uniformed police officers at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court. He was remanded in custody to appear at the Old Bailey on Tuesday. He has also been charged with assaulting a police officer.
Salvador had been taken to hospital and remained under police guard before being questioned by officers and charged. Ms Silva was found collapsed in the back garden before being pronounced dead at the scene. The house in the busy street where Ms Silva's body was found became the scene of a major police operation after officers were called to the area. Metropolitan Police officers said after the operation that there were no signs of a link to terrorism. Tributes have been paid to the elderly woman of Italian descent who ran a nearby cafe.
