GUILTY NY - Cheyenne Patricio, 21, Inwood, NYC, 22 Sept 2005

[mysteriew]

Two days before she died, a 21-year-old Washington Heights woman tried to break up with the man now accused of killing her, the victim's sister said yesterday.
Sheyenne Patricio was found fatally stabbed and beaten in her Sickles St. apartment Thursday night.

Cops caught her 26-year-old beau, Roger (Jason) Crique, hiding on the roof covered in blood and charged him with second-degree murder.

Cheyenne Patricio’s mother came home to find her pretty daughter dying on the floor of their Inwood, Manhattan, apartment – stabbed and bludgeoned with a baseball bat so brutally, the criminal complaint notes she suffered “a damaged skull with pieces of wood stuck in it”...

Meanwhile, prosecutors released Crique’s police confession, spoken and written statements that – in a genre not known even for passable grammar and spelling – are remarkable for their depraved, self-conscious fluency.

“My head was headed towards combustion,” Crique, 26, writes, claiming he retaliated in self-defense after Patricio, 21, attacked him with a knife as he accused her of dating other men... “For the last 1½ years, she has been fooling with my head and heart, with my ego and self-esteem, vigorously!” he gripes.
