  • Stiletto-Heel Killer Convicted Of Murder

    A woman who admitted to stabbing her boyfriend to death with a stiletto shoe heel has been convicted of murder. Ana Trujillo was arguing with her boyfriend Alf Stefan Andersson at his home in Houston, Texas when things escalated and Trujillo took off her shoe and repeatedly beat Andersson with it.

    Trujillo’s attorneys said that she was acting in self defense, but the prosecution argued that Andersson had defensive wounds on both his hand and wrists while Trujillo had none. Trujillo argued that she did have defensive wounds but that they were not photographed.

    Trujillo’s defense tried to paint her as a mild-mannered and quiet woman who was a native of Sweden but had become a United States citizen. A cab driver who drove Andersson and Trujillo home from a night club on the night of the murder, said that Trujillo was angry and aggressive during the drive and that she was yelling and lashing out at Andersson.

    Trujillo admitted to hitting Andersson with the shoe several times but said that she did not think he was hurt badly until she saw the blood coming from his head. She also claimed that she tried to give Andersson CPR before paramedics arrived to help. When paramedics arrived at Andersson’s apartment, they found him lying on the floor in a pool of blood with several bruises and wounds on his face and head. They were not able to save him.

    Trujillo’s weapon of choice was a size 9, blue, platform pump with a 5 1/2-inch stiletto heel. The shoe was brought to court as evidence. A Houston judge found the 45 year old Trujillo guilty of murder and will deliver her sentencing in the near future. She could serve life in prison for the crime.

  • Stiletto-Heel Killing: Woman Who Killed Boyfriend With A Shoe Is Convicted

    On Tuesday, a Houston woman was convicted of stabbing her boyfriend to death with a 5 1/2-inch stiletto heel.

    Prosecutors said Ana Trujillo, 45, slashed 59-year-old Alf Stefan Andersson with the sharp heel at least 25 times in the face and head, until he bled to death on his condo floor in June.

    The murder weapon was just one shoe from the $1,500 pair of navy blue shoes, which were purchased by Andersson as a gift, according to KHOU. That shoe was presented to the jury by prosecutors, blood-stained and even covered in hair last week.

    Trujillo argued that the attack was in self-defense and that she began hitting her boyfriend after he attacked her during a night of drinking. Prosecutors said the couple began arguing when during their violent confrontation Andersson became injured and fell on his back.

    It was then Trujillo allegedly sat on him, pinning him to the floor, as she repeatedly struck him in the face with her spiked heel.

    The prosecution argued that Trujillo didn’t have any injuries from that fight with Andersson, but the professor had defensive wounds on his hands and wrists. Trujillo’s attorneys claimed that she did have injuries.

    Friends of Andersson, a University of Houston research professor, said that he wasn’t prone to bouts of rage.

    “Dr. Andersson probably was a nice guy, but what he did that night can’t be dismissed because he was a nice guy,” Trujillo’s defense attorney argued.

    In a police interrogation video after the incident, Trujillo said that she performed CPR and called 911 after she saw that Andersson had stopped attacking her.

    “What she doesn’t say in this video is as important as what she did say,” the prosecutor said. “When did we hear that Ana Trujillo was in fear for her life? No one said anything about her ever being in fear for her life.”

    The jury wasn’t convinced of the ‘self-defense argument’ as they only deliberated for two hours before making their decision.

    Trujillo, who faces up to life in prison, showed little emotional reaction when the jury’s verdict was read. She was taken into custody after the verdict was read and sentencing begins on Wednesday.
