Could They Ever Be Let Out? | M.P. Pellicer

In March 2017, Franklin county officials found a grisly scene when they arrived at a house on U.S. Highway 64, Raleigh, North Carolina.


They were responding to a 911 call where a man called to say he had killed his own mother. What they found at the scene was all too horribly accurate. Eighteen-year-old, Oliver Mauricio Funes-Machado (Machada) had beheaded his own mother with a butcher knife. He was still holding her head when they arrived. He told the dispatcher that he had stabbed his mother "like eight times and left the knife in her mouth" and that he had committed the atrocity "because I felt like it". He had been released only a week before from a mental health facility, based on a court order.
