A Texas parolee accused of killing a 38-year-old mother with a machete and a concrete block was caught after his mother reported to deputies he looked “very sweaty” and she saw a “human foot” outside her home.

Richard Tanner Ozment, 36, faces charges of first-degree murder in the death of Michaela Brooker, authorities said.

“This is one of the most horrific, horrible, brutal, senseless attacks that we have seen in a long time,” McLennan County Sheriff Parnell McNamara said at a press conference announcing the arrest. “It never should have happened.”
