Lily Charged For Killing Her Lady Lover
posted (December 11, 2012)
Last night we told you about the weekend murder of 34 Year Old Pamela Perez, mother of three. She was stabbed multiple times - eventually bleeding out from a massive wound to her throat.

The woman detained for the apparent crime of passion is her partner 43 year old Rosalia "Lily" Castillo. Police believe that she killed Pamela Perez, whom she had been living with for two years.

This afternoon, she was escorted to San Ignacio Magistrate's Court where she was arraigned on a single charge of murder and remanded to prison.

Friends of Castillo have said her partner was abusing her. But police found that there was no suggestion of Castillo being a victim of abuse - in fact there were statements which portrayed her as the aggressor.

Those familiar with the couple say they had a long history of violent arguments - and they'd had an argument that day - with Castillo allegedly accusing the deceased of owing her money.

Police say when they visited Castillo's house on the morning after the murder, they found her with scratches to her cheeks, an apparent cut wound to the right hand and bruises on both arms.
