Police are questioning a man who allegedly killed a mother of two mere hours after she obtained a restraining order against him.
Police said Orpha Prescilla Hackett, 24, of Union Village, Rio Claro, south of here, was chopped several times about the body by the man, who attacked her as she was visiting her sister.
The man was detained by people who witnessed the attack and called the police.
The law enforcement authorities said that they had retrieved the weapons used in the murder.
Police said Hackett, the mother of a four-year-old girl and a two year-old boy, had received a three-year restraining order against the man in the court earlier in the day after ending an abusive relationship with him.
Media reports said the man had been seen buying two knives and a cutlass before the attack.
