TRUJILLO, ANA: Women Who Kill TV -
After a night out Ana and Stefan had an argument … ‘I hit him with my shoe [x25] and now he’s bleeding.’ Women Who Kill I, Ana’s 911 call, Channel 4 2017
Ana Trujillo murdered her boyfriend by stabbing him 25 times with her stiletto shoe. Formerly an exec at Coca Cola and a mother of two, the 45-year-old’s life plummeted and she found herself homeless. In 2009 she moved to Houston where she started to use men for money. She soon met 59-year-old Stefan Andersson and moved in with him.
She tells us that he had a foot fetish and liked her wearing high heels. Then, in 2013, Ana and Stefan had an argument in the back of a taxi after which she desperately called the police, telling them that she had been attacked. A jury later found her guilty of killing her boyfriend using a blue stiletto with a five-and-a-half inch heel, likening it to ‘an ice pick’. Refinery 29 online article
