A man beheaded a woman, then jumped in front of a moving Long Island Rail Road train in what's being investigated as a brutal murder-suicide, law enforcement officials say.

The officials said police found the body of a woman in her 60s outside a Farmingdale apartment complex on Secatogue Avenue Tuesday night. Her head was severed.

The body of a man in his 30s, who investigators believe may be the woman's son, was found nearby about a mile away on a section of LIRR tracks after he apparently jumped in front of an eastbound LIRR train, according to officials.

Passengers on the train were being loaded onto another train, and will be taken back to another station and bused to their destinations from there, officials said.

3. Good Lord

4. If the killer is Muslim, it's TERROR TIME! If not, just another killing in America. Funny, that.

6. Used to be a time when the media didn't mention details out of fear of copycats.

12. "Headless Body in Topless Bar" has been a classic NY POST headline for decades...

24. Break it out!

My fave cover, saved a copy of that for years.

27. A bit over the top

but I like it!

Also a fave from the 80s:

Yanks Pound Kamikaze Cubans

(the invasion of Grenada)

They say Harvard educated brains come up with these another urban myth no doubt..

10. and it was a pistol?

5. Odds are the son was schizophrenic and was having a psychotic episode at the time, imho

There seems to be a couple of this kind of murder every year. One was in my hometown about 10 years ago. The psychotic teen attacked dad with a hatchet or axe; dad ran outside and the kid wound up beheading him on the front stairs. He's been institutionalized ever since. Horrific.

7. So happy this made it online!

So...the guy was familiar with the train schedule. The westbound train schedule was running late. Oh by the way...great way to end the day...with a happy story of a man beheading a woman, then skipping the ticket line for an eastbound train. Where was he going? Did someone follow him to the tracks? Detective Issa is on it.

8. Thanks to the popular YouTube snuff channel, beheading must be "a thing" now.

9. omg

That is horrifying- wtf is happening?

[katmondoo]

11. OMG I rode the LIRR for almost 25 years when I lived on Long Island

and worked in NYC. Lots of tragedies on the LIRR over those years. I was lucky to have missed the worst of them.

13. This was the

town I grew up in. Walked that block as a child. Post in the Daily News already blaming Islam................

So sad mentally ill patients are not being helped.

14. Beheading people seems to be the latest fad. nt

15. Work from Home violence

Just more nothing to see here trend.

[packman]

16. Still a mystery - The Black Dahlia

Over 60 years ago, violence and butchery is nothing new. This was the story that held the nation in thrall when I was growing up. The Hearst California papers capitalized on her brutal slaying and ran story after story selling a ton of newspapers with their sensational stories week after week.

22. Could be space aliens, too. But was probably a crazy guy.

[Darb]

23. Could be mind control.

But probably isn't.

[Rhinodawg]

19. Who the hell would behead someone ??

forget it.

[LeftishBrit]

29. A homicidal nutcase who is copycatting from TV news about ISIS...

It sounds like this one was a son who beheaded his mother, which makes it even more morbid and bizarre.

[Darb]

21. What riot are you referring to?

And what banner?

[flamingdem]

25. The headchopping thing is getting old

losing shock value.

[Darb]

28. Strange isn't it? ISIS beheads a few people then

all of a sudden, a bunch of beheadings in the US. If I believed in such things I'd say something fucked up is happening right on cue.
