SEDGWICK — A competency hearing for the woman accused of decapitation her ex-boyfriend’s mother is set for Monday afternoon in Wichita.

The hearing for 35-year-old Rachael Hilyard was moved from Wednesday before Judge Bruce Brown, according to a media release from the Sedgwick County Attorney’s office.
In January, a judge ruled a Hilyard was not competent to stand trial.
She was ordered returned to Larned State Hospital for more treatment and her status would be re-evaluated.
Hilyard is charged with first-degree murder in the April 2017 death of 63-year-old Micki Davis. Hilyard is the ex-girlfriend of Davis’ son. Sedgwick County District Attorney Marc Bennett said a hospital evaluation found that Hilyard could regain competency if she continues treatment.
Prosecutors say Davis was attacked when she went with her 9-year-old grandson to a home to get property. The boy was able to run away and call 911.
Davis’ decapitated body was found in the garage and her head was in the kitchen sink.
