An Indian manager was attacked with a machete and beheaded, allegedly after an argument with his employee at a motel in the US city of Dallas.
The incident took place on Wednesday when Chandra Nagamallaiah, originally from Karnataka, reportedly told Yordanis Cobos-Martinez, a 37-year-old Cuban immigrant, not to use the broken washing machine.
Cobos-Martinez was upset as Nagamallaiah asked another employee to translate his instructions instead of addressing him directly.
The accused then got a machete and stabbed the 50-year-old multiple times. Nagamallaiah reportedly tried to run down the parking lot towards the front office, but was chased by the accused.
Nagamallaiah’s wife and 18-year-old son also walked out of the front office and tried to stop Cobos-Martinez, but he pushed them away.
