She took a knife and I said do it at once. She stabbed me once and I said do it stronger. And she tried two more times,” he’s heard saying. When asked why he dismembered her body, he answered: “I did not want anyone to know.” He added: “I used the same knife she attacked me with to stab her in her throat. I threw pieces of her dead body into the drainage system because I felt ashamed.” Most read in The Sun NO CAP Coca Cola has made a huge change to bottles - and it's annoying fans FEELING ALL WHITE Paige VanZant goes braless in daring photo shoot as ex-UFC star wows fans BATTLE HEATS UP Boris backed by 5 heavyweights but lags behind Rishi who has 100 MPs NIP SLIP Amanda Holden shocks fans by flashing her nipple in racy home video THAT'S A WRAP I found my car wrapped in cling film with angry note - who did it shocked me STEAMY!

Ingrid reportedly filed a complaint against her civil engineer partner in July 2019 but later dropped the charges. She had been studying a master’s in tourism and described herself as a person who loves adventures, pets and nature, according to her social media account. Following last Thursday’s verdict, the General Prosecutor’s Office of Justice of Mexico City announced: “We obtained a sentence of 70 years in prison against Erick Francisco ‘N’ after proving his criminal responsibility in the familicide of the young woman.” Robledo was also forced to cover Ingrid’s funeral expenses and pay compensation to her family. Antelma Vargas, Ingrid’s mum, said the verdict showed justice was possible for victims of femicide. She said: “I feel satisfied, although that is not going to bring my daughter back to life, but for those people who are living those processes that we live so long, that they do not give up, that they do not lose faith, that they fight until they achieve their goal because they do can.” Read More on The Sun HELPING HAND Free cash you can get on Universal Credit this Xmas you DON’T have to pay back NOT WORKING My 20min drive takes 2 HOURS due to roadworks for a bike lane no one will use In Mexico, an average of 10 females are killed by an abusive partner on a daily basis.
