US actor cuts off neighbor's head, then kills friend

A stage actor shot, beheaded and dismembered his neighbour in a military base theatre, then killed the victim's friend after using the dead man's mobile phone to lure her to his apartment, police said Friday.

Daniel Wozniak, 26, was charged with two counts of murder on Friday, the same day he was supposed to get married to fiancee Rachel Buffet in a Long Beach park, said Detective Sgt Ed Everett.

Wozniak's father, Daryl Wozniak, said his son was in a coma after trying to commit suicide. Everett said the younger Wozniak was being treated at a hospital but he did not describe his condition.

Daniel Wozniak, who recently starred in the lead role as Guido Contini in the musical "Nine" at a theatre company, is accused of dismembering the body of Samuel Herr, 26, on May 21, leaving his torso at the Los Alamitos Joint Forces Training Base and scattering the limbs and head in a park.

Daniel Wozniak is also accused of shooting Juri Kibuishi, 23, after summoning her with a text message on Herr's phone, then removing her clothes to fake a sexual assault. Her body was found on May 22 by Herr's father.

The motive appears to be financial, police said.

Police detained a 17-year-old youth after he withdrew almost $US2000 ($A2355) from Herr's bank account, said Lt Bryan Glass. The teen told police he was making the withdrawals for Daniel Wozniak.

Daryl Wozniak said his son had never displayed any signs of violence or of having psychological problems.

"We are stunned," Daryl Wozniak said. "He was an ideal son, he went out of his way to help everybody."

The father said his son stopped accepting phone calls from him about six months ago. Daryl Wozniak did not know why and said there had been no falling out.

"He just disappeared," he said.
