Michael L. Brea, an actor who appeared on "Ugly Betty" was taken into custody in Brooklyn this morning for allegedly killing his mother with a samurai sword. According to cops, the suspect Michael L. Brea sliced his mother's head off while screaming biblical passages.

A neighbor told WPIX 11, "I hear the brother chasing her [his mother] through the house and he's just saying a bunch of [Bible] passages like, 'Repent, Repent, Repent.'"

The neighbor continued, "I heard him chasing her through the house and I hear a loud scream and so I have my father call the cops, call 911."

"I could hear her groaning inside ... She was still alive, but they [cops] wouldn't go in," said Clinton Clare, 52, who lived in the apartment below the Brea family.

Police had to use a taser to subdue the actor when they arrived to the scene around 2:20 AM. Brea was arrested and taken to a nearby hospital for a psychiatric exam.

The victim, 55-year-old Yannick Brea was dead when officers arrived. Her body was found hacked and decapitated.

Neighbors and an ex-girlfriend described Michael Brea as a martial arts student who showed no signs of any mental illness and no violent tendencies.
