peter king contreras

Peter King Contreras confessed to strangling his mother-in-law to death. Earlier today, the chef from Ladyville was escorted to court and arraigned for murdering Argentina Arevalo Garcia. Contreras was intercepted as he drove a blue SUV in which he carried the body of his mother-in-law. It is believed that the victim was killed on Monday night after she left her daughter’s house in Ladyville along with Contreras who was to drive her to the highway to get transportation to return to her home in Indian Church Village. Leslie Garcia, who is Argentina’s daughter, said that she got a call from her ex who couldn’t get his story straight, but never told her he had killed her mother. She only found out that her mother was dead when she got a call from the police. According to Leslie, Contreras first told her that he had been involved in a traffic accident in which he thought he hit someone but was not sure.  He told her he was hiding from the police because he did not have a license. Later Contreras said that he had taken care of the problem and that he was at Mile thirteen. At about four o’clock in the morning, police intercepted him and found Argentina’s body inside his vehicle. He then confessed to police saying he had killed Argentina.  Argentina was at her daughter to drop off her granddaughter who she was caring for. Contreras is a businessman and owner of King’s Cuisine restaurant located outside of the International Airport. He is due back in court on December twenty-third. The number of murder victims this year now stands at a hundred and twenty-one.

    SEND HIM TO THE PRISON FARM FOR LIFE…………

    BUILD a PRISON FARM in TOLEDO………

    There HE CAN BE A CHEF, FEED HIMSELF, so we don’t have to, AND RE-PAY HIS DEBT TO SOCIETY.

    Okay DPP, you have a confession, you found him with the corpse in his possession & hopefully his blood under her nails & other injuries to her body. Can we expect a conviction soon? Since his intent was to kill his common law wife, he remains a threat. Convict him & put him to sleep.

    @Earl Grey
    Why do you keep insisting that a farm be built in Toledo, do you have something against the south or are you offering your backyard?
