The Oklahoma beheading isn’t just a torture to the relatives of the victims, for many Americans, it is the kind of nightmare that lives with them in their everyday life. Last week, an Oklahoma man was accused of beheading a female co-worker while they were at work. Alton Nolen, 30, allegedly attacked two women at the Vaughan Foods in Moore after being fired. Reports said that he first stabbed 54-year-old Colleen Hufford and beheaded her before going after 43-year-old Traci Johnson. Before anything worse happened to Johnson, Nolen was shot by Mark Vaughan, the company's chief operating officer.
Not everyone is sold that the crime committed by Nolen is out of pure hate. The suspect is a converted Muslim and in his Facebook page where he’s called Jah'Keem Yisrael, it is said that he has been posting Anti-America and pro-jihad messages. It is believed that Nolen was converted into Islam after being jailed the year before for drugs and assault charges.
The Oklahoma Beheading surprised Nolen’s relatives. They didn’t know that he can carry out such horrible crime. For his cousin, James Fulsom, he is not sold that Nolen indeed converted into Islam.
"I spoke to him once he was released, and when we spoke, there was nothing of the sort," the Fort Worth, Texas resident said as reported by NBC. "I don't believe he was converted (to Islam) in prison."
For his mother, she doesn’t think that it as his son who performed the Oklahoma beheading.
“My son was raised up in a loving home,” the woman who identified herself as his mother said in a Facebook posting Sunday. “My son was raised up believing in God. My son was a good kid. I know what they’re saying he done, but I’m going to tell you this: That’s not my son.”
While people are still puzzled on the real identity and motive of Nolen, the District Attorney’s office are now expected to charge the suspect on the Oklahoma beheading with murder.
"The District Attorney's office anticipates a charging decision in the Alton Nolen case early Tuesday afternoon," it said in a statement.
