Murder in the Apartment | Bakersfield News

A 45-year-old man, Jaime Regalado-Avalos, just received a 15-year-to-life sentence for second-degree murder after fatally assaulting his girlfriend, Claudia Morales Vazquez, in their apartment. His wife, Noralina Vasquez-Hernandez, also pleaded no contest as an accessory, admitting she cleaned up the scene with bleach. The confrontation erupted when Claudia asked personal questions, prompting Jaime to smash her phone and order his wife to lock herself in the bedroom. Moments later, she heard screams, found Claudia dead on the floor with Jaime standing over her, foot on her neck, and watched as he carried her body out. A chilling reminder of how quickly violence can spiral into tragedy. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
