Texas woman convicted of killing husband with stiletto shoe

By

HOUSTON (NEWS1130) – A woman who fatally stabbed her boyfriend with a stiletto heel of her shoe has been found guilty of murder.

Prosecutors said Ana Trujillo used her 5.5-inch high heel shoe to kill 59-year-old Alf Stefan Andersson during an argument at his Houston condominium in June, hitting him in the head 25 times.

Trujillo’s attorney had argued the 45-year-old woman was defending herself during an attack by Andersson, a University of Houston professor and researcher.

Trujillo, who faces up to life in prison, showed little emotional reaction when the jury verdict was read. She had been out of jail on bond but was taken into custody after the guilty verdict. The jury will now begin hearing evidence for sentencing.

Jack Carroll, Trujillo’s attorney, says she is disappointed with the verdict. “I’m hoping that they will be merciful in the punishment.” Carroll says he will be asking for a prison sentence of two years.

During the trial, prosecutors told jurors that after a night of drinking, the couple began arguing and during the confrontation, Andersson was injured and fell on his back. Trujillo sat on Andersson, preventing him from getting up and repeatedly struck him in the face and head with her shoe.
