So, in April 2017, she quarreled with Micki Davis over one of her ex-beau’s paintings and proceeded to behead the eldest. Davis had arrived at Hilyard’s in Kansas to pick up some of his son’s belongings.

Hilyard had none of it and grabbed a steak knife and began chopping Davis’ neck to separate his head from his body, as the older woman’s grandson watched. Hilyard told the court in 2020: « I just freaked out, and we were fighting in the garage, and we fought. »

The boy told detectives the attack took place without warning. Hilyard said he heard voices and testified: « Things told me that I didn’t have much time and that I had to get his head away from his body, so that his soul could break free, so that it can go out and go to heaven. ”

She threw her head down the sink and the cops arrived shortly after the gruesome incident. Hilyard, now 40, was initially found mentally incapable to stand trial before being convicted of first degree murder in 2020 and sentenced to life without parole.

Hilyard recently appealed, saying she was not fit to stand trial. The Kansas Supreme Court denied the request.
