SMH: Woman Murders Sleeping Boyfriend, Then Chops His Body Up
I don't know what this man did to his girlfriend, but I know he didn't deserve to die like this for it.
A Texas woman has been charged with murdering her boyfriend while he slept inside their Baytown home, according to a Baytown Police Department press release.
Police have charged Cierra Alexis Sutton with the fatal shooting of 32-year-old Steven Coleman. Authorities told KHOU she dismembered him with a machete after firing the fatal shot.
His remains were then scattered in various dumpsters nearby.
According to KHOU, the crime took place on Aug. 16. Police said two days after the murder, Sutton reported Coleman missing at the Baytown Police station.
Police got a call on Aug. 22 about a male torso that was found in a Baytown landfill. The victim's description matched that of Coleman.
Despite charging Sutton with murder, authorities still have not positively identified the remains as officially belonging to Coleman, however, KHOU reported.
Sutton, 30, and her boyfriend are said to have been arguing on the evening of his murder. It's unclear what their disagreement pertained to.
Detectives told the outlet Sutton allegedly confessed to her crimes to several friends. The anonymous sources told KHOU she alleged that she cut Coleman up because he was too heavy for her to carry.
Sutton also reportedly told friends her 10-year-old daughter was home when the crime occurred.
After the body was found, Sutton reportedly fled to Louisiana. She dropped her daughter off with a friend just outside of New Orleans. -(Caitlyn Hitt, NY Daily News)
