A man accused of stabbing two people and decapitating one of the victims at a group home in Taylor was ordered Wednesday to undergo a competency hearing before the case can resume.

Brandon Lee Taylor, 22, is charged with first-degree murder, felony murder and assault with a deadly weapon, Local 4 reported. Prosecutors said Taylor killed the 48-year-old caretaker of the home and then sawed off her head.

Taylor is also accused of attacking a 50-year-old resident at the home.

The attacks occurred in the early hours of Aug. 18. Police received a call to the home on the 26000 block of Leroy Street where there were reports of a double stabbing.

Police said they are not sure what motivated the attack.

There was a really nice lady in our home town -- long-time checker at Safeway -- whose son killed her the same way. He was always mentally disturbed, as was his younger brother. The younger kid was harmless, but I remember that we all avoided the eventual killer.
