DEER RIVER, MN – Police have arrested 35-year-old Joseph Thoresen after he decapitated a 20-year-old man accused of raping his girlfriend.
According to reports, Thoresen was understandably upset to learn that his friend, David Haiman, had allegedly raped his girlfriend in the bedroom of their apartment.
The couple invited Haiman over and confronted him about the rape. A punishment for Haiman was agreed upon, one that would consist of Haiman being tied up and beaten.
After he was secured, Thoresen’s girlfriend broke Haiman’s nose and kicked him in the stomach. Thoresen then repeatedly punched Haiman while telling him he shouldn’t have raped his girl.
Afterwards, the three got into Haiman’s car and drove around meeting friends while smoking weed and meth. However, Thoresen was still pissed about the rape and continually called Haiman a piece of shit and his girlfriend a slut.
Thoresen eventually pulled Haiman’s car over, pretending that it had some kind of mechanical issue. After telling Haiman to check the oil, Thoresen hit him over the head with a baseball bat. He then used a black machete to stab him in the abdomen and lower back before using it to decapitate Haiman.
Thoresen put the dead man’s head in a bag and tossed it into the woods. After dragging Haiman’s body into the woods, the couple drove off in Haiman’s car.
A few days later, police got into a high-speed pursuit with a car that failed to pull over. The car, which police would later learn belonged to Haiman, ended up in a ditch. The driver fled the scene on foot but was quickly apprehended. Thoresen, who was a passenger in the vehicle, was taken into custody at the scene but later released.
While in custody, the driver told police that Thoresen had confessed to killing the owner of the car. Police confirmed Haiman had been reported missing and interviewed Thoresen’s girlfriend. She told investigators what happened to Haiman and helped them locate his head and body.
Thoresen was arrested and charged with second degree murder. He is currently in jail on murder charges and facing 40 years in prison if convicted.
