Man decapitated over alleged rape

A 22-year-old Minnesota woman was charged Thursday as an accomplice in the murder and beheading of a man she said raped her.
Kayleene Danielle Greniger is accused of hiding a machete her boyfriend allegedly used to decapitate 20-year-old David Haiman. Joseph Thoresen, 35, has been charged with second-degree murder.
Greniger is accused of tying up and beating Haiman and breaking his nose after he arrived at the Grand Rapids apartment she shared with Thoresen. She untied him, then Thoresen punched him repeatedly, according to the complaint.
Thoresen later ambushed Haiman along a road and used the machete to decapitate him after using a baseball bat and knife to kill him, according to authorities. Greniger is accused of hiding the machete in the couple's apartment.
Greniger is charged with being an accomplice to second-degree murder after the fact, and also with third-degree assault, both felonies.
She helped him by "destroying or concealing evidence of that crime, providing false or misleading information about that crime, receiving the proceeds of that crime, or otherwise obstructing the investigation or prosecution of that crime."
The couple and Haiman all drove together to look for drugs before the murder, according to the Duluth News Tribune. They also smoked marijuana and meth, Greniger reportedly told authorities.
Authorities found Haiman's torso and head on Sunday morning.
Greniger was arrested Tuesday, a few days after recounting her story to authorities.
Two days before Haiman's remains were found, Thoresen allegedly forced a man to drive Haiman's car, telling him he killed the vehicle's owner, the News Tribune reported. Triston Michael Corwin fled from the police at speeds of 90 miles per hour and ended up in a ditch, claiming Thoresen had a knife and told him to "keep going and not stop," according to the newspaper.
Cops did not find a knife, so they let Thoresen go. However, authorities realized it had been Haiman's vehicle when he was reported missing two days later, the newspaper reported.
Greniger had told Thoresen that Haiman had sexually assaulted her. Authorities are "looking into" whether the rape took place.
A friend of Haiman's said he had a "big heart."
"He was the kindest person you’d want to meet," Denise Sinner told the News Tribune. "He looked out for everyone — kids, animals. He couldn’t harm anyone."
