CASTLE ROCK (AP) - A man charged with murder in the gruesome death of his girlfriend admitted he had put a rope around her neck and dragged her behind a car for several miles, a state investigator testified Thursday.
Jose Luis Rubi-Nava also wrote "Thank you. We are guilty" at the bottom of a statement, said Colorado Bureau of Investigation agent Larry Brown, who interviewed Rubi-Nava hours after the woman died. He testified that the "we" referred to another man who shared a home with Rubi-Nava and the victim.
Rubi-Nava, 36, is charged with first-degree murder and second-degree kidnapping in the death of Luz Maria Francos Fierros, 49.
Her mangled body was found on Sept. 18 in a quiet subdivision near Castle Rock, 20 miles south of Denver. An autopsy report said she died from strangulation and massive head wounds.
Brown testified that during the videotaped interview, conducted in Spanish, Rubi-Nava said "he knew what he was doing was wrong and that he had repented what he had done."
