A 50-year-old man in New York, Damon Foy, pleads guilty to second-degree murder for killing and dismembering his ex-girlfriend, Alberta Dale, 44. According to reports, the killing occurs shortly after the two break up, and prosecutors say he carried out the attack and disposed of her body.
Multiple outlets report that Foy frames the crime as revenge. He tells the court he is motivated by anger after Dale ends the relationship, using language suggesting she “played him like a sucker” after dumping him. The reports also describe unusual details from the aftermath, including claims that Dale’s head is kept in a suitcase along with a small item or trinket. The outlets describe the case as a guilty plea, rather than a trial, and focus on the timeline of the breakup and the manner in which the victim’s remains are handled.
