Jose Rafael Solano Landaeta had a long criminal history at 33. He is now in police custody. Witnesses say he beheaded his 27 year old ex girlfriend with a Samurai sword on Thursday.

Karina Castro, who worked as a Door Dash driver, left behind 7-year-old and 1-year-old girls, KGO-TV reported. Her youngest daughter was fathered by the man who’s been arrested for her murder, 33-year-old "Rafa Solano."

Her father, Marty Castro, told the outlet, “Every time I saw her, I would beg her. Don’t talk to him. Leave him and it seemed like the more I did that, the more she would see him.”

Solano had been violent with Castro before, and she got a restraining order against him in April, but continued to see him, Castro’s family said.

Deputies from the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office found Karina’s body Thursday in San Carlos, south of San Francisco, after being flagged down by a witness, law enforcement sources told KNTV.
