Would one duck decapitate another?

I just learned that they live in the Netherlands too. NOOOOO! Stupid people that want to keep them as pets because they look so cute but they turn out to be an hassle and let them free :'(

Apparently raccons can get through a roof tarp covered by eight inches of snow and ice, since we lost one of our ducks to one this week by decapitation.

There are actually several predators that love to eat only the head and leave the rest.

That is not the kind of damage that 1 duck is capable of doing to another.

My ducks have a duck house inside a 10 x 10 chain ink dog kennel. For the winter, we have bales of straw around the outside for wind block and insulation. I usually close them in their house at night, but the bedding and poop has piled up over the winter that they don’t have much room. It’s frozen and I can’t remove it. So I’ve been leaving them loose in the kennel so they have space, which I know is a risk. This morning one of my hens was decapitated. Nothing ate her or did anything else but that. I can’t wrap my head around a predator getting in the kennel somehow and then not eating her or taking her away, so I’m wondering if it could have been another one of my ducks? I have two drakes and one has been mean and bossy to all of the other ducks, male or female, so that also makes me think it may have been him? Is that possible?
