Yes, because that makes perfect sense, perfect excuse for beheading a lovely grandmother…
Via Breitbart:
Nicholas Salvador appeared in Magistrates Court this morning under heavy guard, having been charged with the murder of grandmother Palmira Silva in North London on Thursday.
The 25 year old, whose violent arrest after the murder led to officers being treated for injuries, was uncooperative in Highbury Corner Magistrates Court and refused to confirm his name. Reporting from the court, an ITV journalist tweeted:
Edmonton 'beheading' suspect refused to confirm his name in court, saying: "I don't know. I have been told lies my whole life."

Judge then asked if he was Nicholas Salvador, he responded: "I don't know … Everything is sinking in right now. I've been disrespected"

Little is known officially about Salvador, who has been the subject of speculation in the press. He is apparently a well known figure locally, with sources telling the Daily Mail that the well built man is of Nigerian origin and is a recent convert to Islam.
Locals identified as ‘friends’ of ‘Big Nicholas’ said: “Nicholas is an only child and his parents brought him here from Nigeria. But when he was about 13 or 14 he left home.
“The truth is, he has never felt loved. He has been unlucky all his life. He was always down, he never smiled, he never had any money. He was a known failure.
“He is from a Muslim background but he is not a good Muslim – he gambles, plays roulette.”Salvador will appear at the Old Bailey on Tuesday and remains in police custody.
Mrs. Silva, on the other hand, was described as a wonderful cook at her cafe, lovely, sweet and very kind, everybody’s favorite grandmother.
According to the Daily Mail:
By last night the cafe had become a focal point for tributes, a carpet of flowers and wreaths growing in front of the shuttered doors. Most were left by shocked friends, customers and nearby local businesses, one describing her as ‘a truly wonderful lady’.
Another encapsulated local anger and grief in six poignant words: ‘One more angel taken,’ it said. ‘So sad.’
