Colorado security guard charged in woman's murder allegedly had her severed hand in his pocket when arrested
Fox News
A security guard for a local business in Colorado is behind bars on a first-degree murder charge in connection with the body of a dismembered woman found in a creek.
Martinez was arrested on Jan. 11 at a local security company where he worked after police were informed about the woman's body in the creek and his alleged involvement, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by The Pueblo Chieftain.
The document stated that Martinez's roommate ran into him at a car wash at around 5 a.m. on Jan. 9 and noticed he had dirt on his clothing and blood on his hands, which he washed off with a pressure washer hose. The roommate told police that Martinez asked him to dig a 10-foot hole for him.
