A 50-year-old Indian-origin motel manager from Karnataka, Chandramouli Nagamallaiah, was brutally beheaded by a co-worker at a Dallas motel on Wednesday, in an attack witnessed by his wife and son. The shocking murder erupted after a workplace dispute escalated over a broken washing machine.
Nagamallaiah managed the Downtown Suites Motel in Dallas, where the deadly incident occurred. According to police reports, Nagamallaiah instructed co-worker Yordanis Cobos-Martinez, 37, not to use the malfunctioning washing machine.
However, rather than addressing Cobos-Martinez directly, Nagamallaiah asked another employee to translate his instructions, which reportedly enraged Cobos-Martinez. The confrontation quickly turned violent, with Cobos-Martinez retrieving a machete and attacking Nagamallai
