Authorities say a 13-year-old Alabama girl with special needs was beheaded after she saw her grandmother killed in a cemetery. Huntsville television station WAFF reported the details of a grisly crime which emerged at a preliminary hearing in a Madison County court for 26-year-old Yoni Aguilar, who, along with 34-year-old Israel Palomino, is charged with two counts of capital murder in the June 2018 slayings of 49-year-old Oralia Mendoza and her granddaughter, Mariah Lopez. According to court testimony, in the days before the murder Aguilar, Palomino, Mendoza, and Mendoza's friend Laticia Garcia went to Georgia to pick up a large amount of drugs, and something that took place during the trip prompted Palomino and Mendoza to engage in an ultimately fatal argument. Aguilar and Palomino eventually drove the victims to a cemetery, where Mendoza was fatally stabbed: The suspects reportedly killed 13-year-old Mariah because she was a witness to the slaying of her grandmother, taking her to a secluded area where, Aguilar claimed, Palomino forced him to kill the girl: The disreputable web site Your News Wire published an article on this subject headlined Illegal Immigrant Beheads 13-Year-Old Girl in Alabama -- Media Blackout, which asserted that the mainstream media has failed to report on the barbaric crime because mainstream media outlets are now choosing to suppress horrific news stories involving illegal immigrants. However, the underlying crimes were in fact widely reported by multiple national U.S. news outlets, including Fox News, the Washington Post, the Associated Press, and Cox Media Group. Moreover, according to Huntsville station WAAY, while Aguilar was an undocumented immigrant, Palomino was legally in the U.S. on a green card. Since it's as yet unclear what involvement each of the two men had in Mariah Lopez's death, it cannot be definitively stated at this time that an illegal immigrant beheaded a 13-year-old.
