The Pennsylvania man allegedly flew into an uncontrollable rage over the haircut. Authorities arrested Benjamin Garcia Gual. They charged him with the murder of Carmen Martinez-Silva on Sunday. They said that Gual hunted the woman down to her brother's house. He then allegedly stabbed her to death, all over the fact that she cut her hair.
According to PennLive, her daughter spoke with the police. The woman claimed that Gual was incensed over the fact that she cut her hair and threatened to kill Martinez-Silva. She fled and decided to stay overnight at her daughter's home. She then went to her brother's home, asking a friend to tell Gual that she was breaking up with him.

By the time authorities arrived, Martinez-Silva had died from her wounds. Meanwhile, her brother suffered several stab wounds. Two other people were also stabbed while trying to stop Gual. Authorities arrested him at the scene in his car with the knife still in his hand.
