A 17-year-old teenager, Angel Sanches, who is an illegal immigrant in the United States, has been arrested for strangling his 5-year-old cousin, Katherina Gonzalez, to death after rapingher and leaving her body hanging in a closet.
Mail Online reports that Angel Sanches was arrested earlier this month after Katherina's body was found inside a vacant apartment in Lake Highlands, Dallas, but he had initially denied involvement in her death but later recanted and confessed to his sordid crimes.
At his first arrest, Angel had told detectives that a man who he identified only as 'Carlos' was responsible for her death.
According to police, Sanches told them his cousin followed him into the building after he was taken hostage 'Carlos'. He also claimed 'Carlos' forced him into the building at gunpoint before shutting him in the closet.
