SAN CARLOS, Calif. -- A woman killed in a horrific beheading in San Carlos Thursday morning.

Karina Castro, 27, was a mother of 7-year-old and 1-year-old girls. She attended Menlo-Atherton High School, got her GED, and worked as a Door Dash driver.

The man being held in what early witness reports said was a sword attack is 33-year-old Jose Raphael Solano Landaeta, the father of Castro's 1-year-old daughter.

Castro's family says the defendant goes by the name Rafa Solano and that he is a diagnosed schizophrenic whose behavior would swing wildly depending on his balance of medications.

Castro's father and grandmother are desperately trying to get the young girls back from CPS. They say they found out about the murder online and are upset that social workers and police failed to contact them.

Solano's arraignment on the murder charges had been scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Friday, but has been postponed.
