An ex-Olympic boxer was convicted of kidnapping and murdering his pregnant lover and their unborn child by throwing her off of a bridge after she refused to have an abortion.
Friday in the U.S. District Court of Puerto Rico, found Felix Verdejo guilty of kidnapping resulting in death and intentionally killing an unborn child. The trial lasted 25 weeks, during which the jury of nine men and three women heard horrific allegations and details about the gruesome murder of Keishla Rodriguez in April of 2021.
Central to the case was the testimony of Verdejo-Sanchez’s alleged accomplice, Luis Antonio Cádiz. Cádiz pleaded guilty last year after securing a plea deal agreement in which he provided vital details about the violent incident.Cádiz also claims that Verdejo punched Rodriguez and injected her with what he believed to be heroin before both he and Verdejo tied Rodriguez’ limbs to a cement block and threw her off a bridge into a lagoon.
