Florida man charged in "rough sex" murder
FT. LAUDERDALE - Florida police say a man admitted to killing and disemboweling his girlfriend after she uttered her ex-husband's name while the two were having sex in a closet, reports CBS Miami.
Fidel Lopez, 24, called 911 at around 3:30 a.m. Saturday and told the operator that his girlfriend was having trouble breathing and was going to die. When police and paramedics arrived at his in Sunrise, Fla., apartment, they found Lopez calling out for help as he stood next to the body of his girlfriend.
Maria Nemeth's body was in a pool of blood and officers also noted blood inside a closet, on the floor in the bathroom and on the walls in a hallway.
Officers also found several holes in the drywall, the closet door had been detached and it was lying in a hallway floor and the rear sliding glass door had been shattered.
Lopez was taken to police headquarters for questioning. Initially, Lopez told police that he and Nemeth had been drinking tequila which led to rough sex, which he at first claimed was Nemeth's idea, according to his arrest report.
On further questioning Lopez's story changed, according to police.
Lopez said they had been drinking and were having sex in the closet when she called out her ex-husband's name - twice.
He reportedly told the police that angered him and he began smashing things around the apartment in anger. When he went back to the closet he found Nemeth passed out.
Lopez told police he became a "Monster" and began to mutilate and disembowel her.
Lopez said when he was finished, he carried Nemeth's body to the bathroom and tried to revive her by putting water on her face, according to police. When she didn't regain consciousness, Lopez began to panic and went out to the porch to smoke a cigarette. When he came back to the bathroom, he told police Nemeth wasn't breathing so he called 9-1-1.
Police arrested Lopez who has been charged with first degree murder.
