Iron Range man decapitated after being accused of rape

Accused of rape, a 20-year-old Iron Range man was decapitated with a machete by the woman's boyfriend, according to authorities.

David A. Haiman, of Hibbing, was killed last week in an ambush along a northern Minnesota road, his body left in one spot in the woods and his head dumped elsewhere, according to the criminal complaint filed Tuesday in Itasca County District Court.

Joseph C. Thoresen, 35, of Grand Rapids, Minn., is charged with second-degree murder. Before his arrest, Thoresen said he hadn't been in touch with Haiman for the past two to three weeks, but the defendant's cellphone revealed texts shortly before Haiman's death.
