A bizarre murder weapon

Stefan Andersson, a Swedish-born biochemist who became a U.S. citizen, worked at the University of Houston, where his research contributed to advances in reproductive health and prostate cancer. Though known as kind and helpful, Andersson struggled with alcoholism and relapsed in 2012 after a stint in rehab. Around that time, he began dating Ana Trujillo, a Mexican-born massage therapist and artist with her own history of alcohol abuse and prior DUIs. Their relationship was turbulent, and on June 9, 2013, after a day of heavy drinking, an argument escalated in Andersson’s Houston apartment. Trujillo fatally attacked him with her stiletto heel, stabbing him 25 times in the head. She claimed self-defense, alleging Andersson was abusive, but prosecutors argued the evidence showed otherwise, noting Andersson had defensive wounds while she had no injuries. At her 2014 trial, Trujillo gave erratic testimony that undermined her defense, and the jury quickly convicted her of murder. She was sentenced to life in prison, with parole eligibility in 2042, and remains incarcerated in Texas.
