A Florida teenager who allegedly killed his mother in her sleep was detained in an adult facility after his chilling confession was played during a pretrial hearing.
Derek Rosa, 13, pleaded not guilty to the murder of his mother Irina García, 39, who was found with more than 40 stab wounds in mid-October.
But during a pretrial hearing Friday, Rosa appeared to make a chilling confession to detectives in a recording played for the court.
“I woke up, grabbed one of the knives from the kitchen and went to his room,” the recording revealed. After hesitating for a moment, she responded to a detective who told her it was okay to continue, adding, “I killed her,” the Miami Herald reported.
The teenager is accused of stabbing his mother with a purple-handled knife 46 times while she slept next to her newborn baby, before sending bloody photos of his mother and her hands to a friend.
