Boyfriend thought his girlfriend was seeing the man they had threesome with outside of his presence and punched, kicked, and stomped her over 160 times in a jealousy-fueled beating before dropping the bed over her and going to sleep on it; convicted
Court records show that a 33-year-old man, later identified as Leroy, was found guilty by a jury for the murder of his 21-year-old girlfriend, later identified as Annabel, on December 4, 2021. Leroy will receive a life sentence without the chance for parole for the first-degree murder, with the punishments for the additional charges of aggravated and simple assault and endangerment being decided at a later sentencing.
According to prosecutors, the victim was killed in a jealousy-driven incident after Leroy started becoming suspicious that his girlfriend was seeing a man they had a threesome with outside of his presence. Leroy became angry and controlling as he believed Annabel had developed a relationship with that man. According to reports, the three of them had gone on a cruise together previously.
On the night of December 4, 2021, the police were called to their residence, where they discovered Annabel critically injured. Doctors told investigators the victim had extensive trauma to her head and face and had visible injuries and bruising on the rest of her body, including her arms, legs, torso, and pelvic area. Annabel later succumbed to her injuries at a local hospital. The scene was described as chaotic, with evidence of a violent struggle throughout the home. When asked about the injuries to Annabel, Leroy claimed they were consensual and came as a result of rough ѕeх, but further investigations revealed home security footage capturing the brutal attack on the fateful day, as well as other assaults from up to a month before the murder.
In one particular incident captured on video before Annabel’s death, she is seen struggling to walk due to a leg injury inflicted by Leroy, who also exhibited violent behavior towards inanimate objects in their home. On the day of the murder, Leroy punched Annabel in the head and body at least 85 times, and he kicked and stomped her at least 80 times. Then he threw the bed over her body and went to sleep on it.
