Oliver Mauricio Funes-Machado, 18, who was accused in March of beheading his own mother, may have charges against him dropped.

An illegal immigrant accused of beheading his mother in March may have the charges against him dropped, a local television station reported.

Oliver Mauricio Funes-Machado, 18, has been accused of beheading his 35-year-old mother at their home in North Carolina on March 6.

WNCN reported a judge is expected to sign an order that will drop the first degree murder charges against him after he ruled he's not mentally competent to stand trial.

After Funes-Machado allegedly decapitated his mother, Yesenia Funes Beatriz Machado, he walked out of his home “carrying a knife in one hand and a severed human head in the other,” an affidavit reportedly stated.

The man reportedly told a 911 dispatcher he stabbed his mother “like eight times,” left the knife “in her mouth” and beheaded her “because I felt like it,” according to an earlier report from WNCN.

Funes-Machado was described in March as a “pretty profoundly disturbed young man” by a public defender, who, according to a family friend, said he was “very isolated.”

Boyd Sturges, attorney for Funes-Machado, said that if there comes a time when his client is found to be competent to stand trial, he'll be re-charged. 

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed in March that Funes-Machado is in the country illegally, and is originally from Honduras.

If the judge signs the order, Funes-Machado will reportedly be involuntarily committed to an unknown facility in the town of Butner, around 20 minutes away from Durham.

Until then, Funes-Machado is being held at Central Prison in Raleigh.
