A Minnesota man<\/a> who beheaded his girlfriend in front of several witnesses in 2021 was found not guilty of murder due to mental illness this week, according to reports.<\/p>\n

Alexis Saborit, 42, was originally convicted May 11 in the first-degree premeditated murder<\/a> of 55-year-old America Thayer.<\/p>\n

FOX 9 Minneapolis<\/a> reported that Judge Caroline Lennon ruled on Saborit\u2019s mental competency Monday, after psychologists found the suspect\u2019s mental illness prevented him from understanding his actions were morally wrong.<\/p>\n

Saborit is accused of striking Thayer with an 8-pound dumbbell while inside a vehicle in Shakopee, and then decapitating her with a machete.<\/p>\n

Witnesses in cars and homes saw the attack, including one who shot a video that appeared to show the suspect pulling Thayer\u2019s body from the car and into the street, then picking up her head by the hair.<\/p>\n

Just before the attack, the two were on their way to his court appearance on felony charges alleging he set fire to their apartment during a confrontation with police.<\/p>\n

Thayer told Saborit she wanted to end their relationship, and he attacked her.<\/p>\n

As he left the scene, Saborit disposed of the machete.<\/p>\n

Officers found the machete<\/a> in a trash can in an alleyway in the area, the news station reported, and Saborit was located a short distance from the scene before being apprehended.<\/p>\n

The suspect allegedly confessed to a friend that he was going to chop his girlfriend\u2019s head off days before the incident and laughing about it.<\/p>\n

Saborit was first charged with second-degree murder, which was upgraded to first-degree murder in the indictment.<\/p>\n

In January, he waived his right to a jury trial, the news station reported, and the judge gave the verdict May 11.<\/p>\n

But throughout the process, the attorney representing Saborit claimed he suffered from mental health issues.<\/p>\n

Despite the claims, the judge issued the ruling.<\/p>\n

On July 12, Saborit\u2019s attorney filed a motion that he should be found not guilty by reason of mental illness after a state-issued psychologist said the suspect\u2019s mental illness “prevented him from understanding his actions were morally wrong.”<\/p>\n

Ultimately, the judge agreed and Monday, ruled Saborit be found not guilty<\/a> by reason of mental illness.<\/p>\n

He was ordered to remain in the county jail until he can be transferred to another facility.<\/p>\n
