A 30-year-old Kenyan has been arrested for threatening to behead a co-worker in Oklahoma City, USA.
The Oklahoman reports that Jacob Mugambi Muriithi, has been arrested on terrorism charges and is currently in jail. His bail has been set for $1 million.
Muriithi identifies as a Muslim and is from Kenya. He was working at the Bellevue Nursing Home when he made the threats to his victim, the arrest warrant affidavit said.
Police documents say that Muriithi told her that he “represented ISIS and that ISIS kills Christians”.
The Oklahoman reports:
The woman said she asked him why they kill Christians and he replied, “This is just what we do,” the detective reported.
“The victim said Jacob asked her what time she got off work and she replied by asking him in a joking manner if he was going to kill her,” the detective wrote. “Jacob told the victim, ‘Yes,’ he was going to cut her head off. The victim asked Jacob what he was going to cut her head off with and he said, ‘A blade,’ then told her after he did it he was going to post it on Facebook.
“The victim said Jacob was serious when speaking and never made any statements that he was joking or playing around.”
The woman reported Muriithi repeated the threat as she left work, saying in front of another employee that he was going to use a blade, the detective reported.
Muriithi was arrested on Friday, September 26, 2014, the same day Alton Nolen allegedly beheaded a coworker after he was fired from Vaughan Foods.
Nolen is reportedly a recent convert to Islam, CNN reports.
