Prosecutor says illegal immigrant who killed Mollie Tibbetts stabbed her 12 times
The trial for an illegal immigrant accused of stabbing and murdering University of Iowa student Mollie Tibbetts is ongoing, with some gruesome allegations coming out during it.
Illegal immigrant Christian Bahena Rivera allegedly stabbed Mollie Tibbetts 12 times while murdering her in 2018, according to the ongoing trial.
Rivera is accused of the crime against Tibbetts, who attended the University of Iowa.
“Dr. Dennis Klein, the medical examiner, said he definitively identified nine stab wounds on Tibbetts’ body including two on her skull, two on her neck, a stab wound on her right hand, and more stab wounds on her torso,” Breitbart reported. “Klein said he suspects there to be 12 stab wounds, total, on Tibbetts’ body.”
The illegal alien, “worked on a dairy farm using a stolen ID and Social Security card after crossing the U.S.-Mexico border at 17-years-old,” Breitbart reported.
“According to prosecutors, Bahena Rivera was the last person who saw Tibbetts jogging on the evening of July 18 in Brooklyn, Iowa. She went missing later that night,” Breitbart reported.
“Bahena Rivera allegedly stabbed Tibbetts to death, dumped her body in a cornfield, and placed corn stalks over her to prevent law enforcement from finding her. The illegal alien has been held on a $5 million bond,” the news site said.
It also reported that Rivera’s defense appeared to have argued that Tibbetts’ boyfriend may have been at fault or involved in her death.
Some commentators on the article suggested that stronger immigration policies could have prevented her death.
“If we controlled our own border then she would be alive and the illegal alien who is craven murderer would not be here to do the evil deed,” one person wrote.
“The DEMS could care less that she was murdered by an illegal. Her life means nothing to them,” another person wrote.
