This 46-year-old man has told cops he murdered his 21-years-younger lover before skinning and dismembering her corpse and flushing some of the parts like her intestines down the toilet.

The killing took place in an apartment in the municipality of Gustavo A. Madero in the Mexican capital of Mexico City in the State of Mexico.

According to local media, the incident happened after an argument between the man, Erik Francisco Robledo, and his younger lover Ingrid Escamilla Vargas, 25.

Reports said neighbours called the Citizen Safety Secretary (SSC) when they saw the man coming out of the building where he lived covered in blood.

The footage shows Erik Francisco in a car with his head bandages and blood on his chest while he reportedly talks to a policeman.

In the clip he says: “We started to argue and we fought. She said she wanted to kill me and I said do it.”

He added: “She took a knife and I said do it at once. She stabbed me once and I said do it stronger. And she tried two more times”

When he is asked why he dismembered the woman’s dead body he answered: “I did not want anyone to know.”

He added: “I used the same knife she attacked me with to stab her in her throat. I threw pieces of her dead body to the drainage system because I felt ashamed.”

Reports claim the alleged murderer then used a kitchen knife to skin the dead body and remove parts of flesh and the guts from the woman’s dead body before throwing them down the toilet and into the sewer.

The police reportedly found the kitchen knife used to dismember the woman as well as parts of the dead body. There was also blood in the apartment.

Local media reported that the police also found a plastic bag with the guts a few blocks away from the apartment where the alleged crime happened.

The authorities are investigating the case and are also trying to find the woman’s family who are believed to live in another city.
