Fox News
A woman was brutally slaughtered and set on fire by a man who thought she was his ex-girlfriend who had ended their relationship a month earlier, according to prosecutors.
He "quite literally went for the jugular," prosecutors said during the trial as they alluded to Abacay's autopsy that detailed 10 stab wounds and blunt-force trauma injuries on her face, head and neck, before Montano set the apartment on fire.

"As Commonwealth's Attorney, I've seen considerable crime scenes and photos, but the photos from this case stood out in terms of the victims' injuries," Fairfax County Commonwealth Attorney Steve Descano said. "This case exhibited some of the most disturbing crime scenes I’ve ever encountered."
