San Antonio woman dismembers cousin and cooks his severed limbs in a barbecue over botched drug deal
A San Antonio woman who admitted to participating in the murder of her cousin by severing his limbs has been sentenced to 30 years behind bars by a judge. The 39-year-old woman, Candie Dominguez, was involved in the brutal September 2014 murder of her cousin Jose Luis Menchaca who was severely beaten and then dismembered. His charred remains were found by investigators in a barbecue pit.
Also found guilty in the murder was 32-year-old Daniel Moreno Lopez, her boyfriend at the time. Lopez was convicted by a jury last June and was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole. A third person involved in the killing, Lopez's cousin Gabriel Moreno, was acquitted during a retrial in December after a judge declared the first to be a mistrial because the jury could not come to a decision.
