HOUSTON – A blue suede stiletto heel that US prosecutors say a woman used to fatally stab her boyfriend at least 25 times in the face and head has been shown at her trial.
The shoe — a size nine platform pump with a 14cm heel — was brought out during testimony about the bloody crime scene at the trial of Ana Trujillo, who’s accused of killing 59-year-old Alf Stefan Andersson.
He was a University of Houston professor and researcher.
A prosecutor later stood on top of a table in the courtroom and straddled a dummy to demonstrate for jurors how authorities believe the shoe was used as a weapon.
Authorities allege Ms Trujillo sat on top of Mr Andersson and struck him with the shoe during an argument at his condominium last June.
Ms Trujillo’s lawyer has told jurors his client was defending herself.
Prosecutors played the emergency call Ms Trujillo made in the early-morning hours.
