A Florida man finds himself in police custody for murder after confessing to killing his roommate and buring his body in their yard in a shallow grave.
Police were alerted last week after a neighbor said they saw blood and what appeared to be a grave. When officers arrived on scene, they found a body somewhat buried in an 18-inch deep hole and a “foot was partially exposed. Bryan Marquez was subsequently taken into custody due to a separate outstanding warrant for his arrest. While being interviewed, Marquez confessed to the killing his roommate whom he only knew as "Guanajuato."
Per Law & Crime:
"In his arrest report, Marquez said the victim threw his plate full of food on the ground and he disrespected him. He didn’t do anything immediately, he allegedly said, but after having some drinks, he decided to approach Guanajuato. [...] Marquez said he started punching him in the ribs, face and nose which knocked him to the ground, according to authorities. Once Guanajuato was on the ground, Marquez said he grabbed dirt and gravel then shoved it into his mouth"
Marquez said he realized his roommate was dead after yelling at him to get up and Guanajuato never moved. Instead of alerting the authorities, Marquez then tried buring the body in their yard which precipitated his arrest.
