PHOENIX (AP) — A 20-year-old Phoenix man has been arrested on suspicion of beating and stabbing his girlfriend to death.
Phoenix police said they responded to an east Phoenix apartment to investigate unknown trouble on Tuesday morning.
When they arrived, a man identified as 20-year-old Jesus Ricardo Murrieta told them he got into a fight with his girlfriend and that she was dead inside the apartment.
Officers then found the 32-year-old woman's body. She had been stabbed and beaten to death.
Police say Murrieta admitted to killing her and was booked into Maricopa County jail on a first-degree murder charge.
Murrieta does not yet have an attorney.
Police did not know how long the two had been dating.
