A 17-year-old girl was brutally stabbed to death then stuffed in to a closet allegedly by the 40-year-old male lover of her girlfriend. The Bronx, N.Y., man, who suspected that the teen was vying for the affections of his 25-year-old girlfriend, wanted to end the lesbian relationship for good.
The body of the young girl, Luzbenet Ramirez, was discovered Tuesday night in the apartment of her lover, Rosanna Castro.
Jose Mendez confessed to New York City police that his girlfriend, Castro, grabbed Ramirez by the neck and held her,as he unceasingly butchered the young girl about 30 times in a jealous rage. Mendez had convinced himself that killing Ramirez would put an end to the lesbian tryst permanently.
According to prosecutors who spoke to the New York Daily News, Mendez said, "She told me to get two garbage bags and we could put her on the roof and no one would find her. "She said she wanted to start again working on our relationship."
The jealous lover, who had just only one day before been released from jail after a 35-day stint for assault, decided to instead, wrap the victim's body in plastic and shove the remains in to Castro's closet.
Ramirez's family is heartbroken over her murder. The teen's 14-year-old brother, Benny, said, "My dad just died five months ago and now it's just me and my mom."

This is a very sad story and a sad ending for someone so young. I hope that her friend had told her about her incarcerated crazy boyfriend. Now Ramirez was too young to get involve with this adult chick but I really hoped that she knew of this man before they got involve and those kind of consequences should have never escalated to that critical point. A typical man has problems when another woman is taking his place but he goes on about his business at the same time this fool is totally unstable. Unfortunately he just couldn't handle what may have been the truth that his girlfriend Castro just told him that she didnt love him and on top of everything else that it was woman. Many men just cant handle thier role but unfortunatley this teen loses her life trying to experience love with an adult. My prayers goes out to the teen and her family.

Where is all the experts, when you leave Jesus Christ and experiment with sex and drugs in the name of fun and orgasms. Fools usually die young or go to prison,society sets people up for failures, Americans are amazingly stupid, that is a genetic problem, one generation to another.Go back to work and pay your bills on time.

Who the hell are you to blame the victim here? A 17 year old young woman is dead because a man thought his ownership of another woman was more important than a young woman's life.
Don't blame the lesbian. Blame the patriarchy that shaped the killer. Place the responsibility in that man's lap.
There. Is. No. Excuse.

Why are you stating Americans are stupid? How many Americans do you honestly have associations with and just how much do you know about Americans? I am an American and I am definitely not stupid nor are millions of others. Also, where were you born? Are you stating everyone from your part of the world are extremely intelligent or are they genuises?
Are you a genius yourself?
If you don't like Americans leave the country. Remember this is the United States of America.
