‘House of horrors’: Man charged with decapitation of woman inside Philadelphia home

Fox 29

A man is facing charges after investigators say a woman was found decapitated inside a Philadelphia home Tuesday afternoon.

The gruesome discovery was made at a property on the 300 block of Magee Avenue just before 1 p.m., according to police.

Officers found a 41-year-old woman with a ‘severed head’ on the kitchen floor of the home, police said.

A man, later identified as 34-year-old Ahmad Shareef, was arrested blocks away from the house.

Prosecutors announced charges against Shareef hours after the brutal killing, including murder and abuse of a corpse. He is being held without bail.

Neighbors who spoke to FOX 29 claimed Shareef was known for lewd, bizarre and sometimes threatening behavior.

“The older I got, the more I could see something was wrong in that house,” Gabriel Ramirez said. “There are young girls in that house and I don’t know what they’ve had to endure their whole lives.”

Police say no children where home at the time of the gruesome murder. A witness reportedly helped identify Shareef, leading to a quick arrest.

“The adults in that house are completely unhinged,” one neighbor said. “It’s a house of horrors, I feel bad for those children, it’s devastating.”

      1. Hasil Adkins was a real piece of work. Saw an interview with him and he thought his hero Hank Williams was playing all the instruments simultaneously because the supporting musicians weren’t credited on the records. Most of his recordings were him performing as a one man band.
