Drinking, violent sex, then murder, in Florida.
By Raif Karerat
A man in Sunrise, Fla. stands accused of killing and disemboweling his girlfriend because the woman called out the name of her ex-husband during sex.
Fidel Lopez, 24, called Sunrise police just after 3:30 a.m. Sunday to his apartment. Lopez told police that his girlfriend, 31-year-old Maria Nemeth, was not breathing.
According to the police report, there were “several chunks of bloody tissue on the floor inside the closet.” Police said the closet door had been ripped out and was on the hallway floor, and there were holes in the dry wall. Police said the rear sliding glass door was shattered.
During initial questioning, Lopez claimed that he and Nemeth had been having rough, consensual sex when she went into the bathroom, vomited and passed out.
Upon further questioning, Lopez claimed to police that during sex, Nemeth allegedly called out the name of her ex-husband twice. Lopez told police that upon hearing this, he became enraged and turned into a “monster,” according to local media outlets.
Per NBC affiliate WPTV:
The report indicates that Lopez flew into a rage, breaking things in the apartment and punching holes in the wall. He went into the closet where Nemeth was lying unconscious, and began to violently assault her, inserting various items, including a beer bottle, a hair flat iron, and both of his fists, into her as she lay unconscious, police said. Lopez admitted to police that he inserted his arm so far into Nemeth’s body that he ripped out her intestines.
Upon inspecting the scene and interviewing Lopez, police placed him under arrest and charged him with first-degree murder.
“We’re devastated,” neighbor Dan Carter told Local 10 News. “There’s a black cloud hanging over this apartment complex. Now the neighbors are sad. It’s a horrible loss.”
