WHATSAPP TRICKS

A teenager who strangled his ex to death for dumping him posted a confession on Facebook - claiming "all is fair in love and war".

Violent Ricardo Mora, 19, went to the home of student Carolin Rojas Mendez, 18, to try and rekindle their relationship after she ended the year-long romance.

But when she refused to get back together, Mora flew into a rage and killed her, before dragging her body out of the back door and dumping it in an alleyway.

After going back into her home in San Nicolas, Costa Rica, Mora signed into Facebook, where he posted the song ‘I Love (To Hurt) You’ by Swedish metal band Lifelover and wrote: "I never thought I would do this.

"Damn. All is fair in love and war though and in love anything goes.

"Damn everything. Loving you hurts me so much, you made me crazy, Carolin.

"I will love you forever."

He then went to his aunt’s house and told her what had happened.

Horrified pal Ricardo Lanzoni, 19, said: "When I saw what he posted onto Facebook I just knew something terrible had happened.

"He was obsessed with Carolin and when she finished it a few days earlier he told me he would kill her if she didn’t get back with him.

"I thought he was just being over-emotional at the time, but then I saw that message and my heart froze."

Mora, who was arrested several hours later, confessed immediately and has beenjailed for 10 years.

Speaking to local media after hearing the sentence, the girl’s devastated mum Maria Mendez, 40, said: "I didn’t go into the court because it was too painful but I am glad this monster has been jailed, although it should have been for life."
