This is Nicholas Salvador, who is suspected of beheading Palmira Silva in Edmonton

Suspected beheading killer Nicholas Salvador is due in court over the brutal slaying of granny Palmira Silva in Edmonton, north London.

Salvador -- known locally as Fat Nick -- is charged with murder over the death of 82-year-old Silva, whose headless body was discovered in a back garden in Nightingale Road, last week.

Three more people were attacked during the frenzied incident, including two who fled their house for their lives and a police officer whose wrist was broken while arresting the suspect.

Police were called to the scene in south Enfield following reports a cat had been beheaded. Mrs Silva ran a cafe with her husband.

Salvador will appear at the Old Bailey.
