Anaheim woman, accused of decapitating her boyfriend, is brought back from Mexico

A 23-year-old Anaheim woman who fled to Mexico after she allegedly decapitated her 55-year-old boyfriend last year was extradited back to Orange County, authorities said.

Ashley Marie Lira will make her first court appearance in Fullerton on Feb. 13, when she may enter a plea, said Kimberly Edds, an Orange County District Attorney’s Office spokeswoman. Charged with murder, Lira faces a maximum sentence of 26 years to life if convicted.

The type of weapon used was not known, Edds said.
