A psychologist has died after her flatmate strangled her during hard-core sex.
Juan Javier Jonathan Ruiz Torres, 32, alleged that 23-year-old Tania Trinidad Paredes had asked him to strangle her with a cable and to slap her during sex.
She was found dead in Ruiz Torres’ house in Mexico City and he is now in police custody.
The suspect claimed the victim was his flatmate and that they were sharing a house together with his friend Jose Luis Arzate Martinez.
The three had reportedly started drinking together one night and Tania suggested a threesome.
But when Arzate Martinez refused and went to bed, the young psychologist reportedly asked for a hard-core sex session with Ruiz Torres which involved strangling her with a cable and slapping her.
Ruiz Torres said: ‘During the act, she asked me to squeeze her neck and slap her because she liked violent sex.’
He said he used a cable he found at the side of the bed and accidentally killed the woman by strangling her too hard.
Doctors said the cause of death was asphyxiation and that her neck bones had been broken.
According to local reports, after first claiming his innocence the man caved under pressure and confessed to the apparent sex accident to police.
The investigation is still ongoing.
