WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A judge has ruled a Wichita woman accused of decapitating her ex-boyfriend’s mother is not competent to stand trial.

Judge Faith Maughan on Friday ordered 35-year-old Rachael Hilyard returned to Larned State Hospital for more treatment. Her status will be re-evaluated after 90 days.

Hilyard is charged with first-degree murder in the April 2017 death of 63-year-old Micki Davis. Hilyard is the ex-girlfriend of Davis’ son. Sedgwick County District Attorney Marc Bennett said a hospital evaluation found that Hilyard could regain competency if she continues treatment.

Prosecutors say Davis was attacked when she went with her 9-year-old grandson to a home to get property. The boy was able to run away and call 911.
Davis’ decapitated body was found in the garage and her head was in the kitchen sink.
