Gruesome death: Alf Stefan Andersson, a 59-year-old professor at the University of Houston was found dead in grizzly circumstances at his apartment in June - Ana Trujillo (seen right in June 2013) is suspected of his murder
Quote:
Trujillo admitted in June that she killed Andersson in a lover's spat at their apartment.
Trujillo and Andersson had spent most of the evening at Bodegas, a local taco shop, where they drank a couple bottles of wine and took a few tequila shots.
But things turned sour that night when another man approached Trujillo at the bar and offered to buy her a drink. Andersson got jealous of the stranger's advances which spurned a fight back at his apartment around 2 a.m.
The ensuing fight was so loud, that neighbors thought it sounded like furniture moving.
When Andersson grabbed her, Trujillo told police that she pulled his hair - so much so that she had clumps of it in her hands. When that didn't stop him she started beating him with a stiletto shoe causing multiple stab wounds.
