CHICAGO - A 43-year-old man strangled his girlfriend and repeatedly stabbed her with a knife he brought in a bag full of Christmas presents to an
Englewood home where the couple was staying for the holidays, Cook County prosecutors said Monday.
JC Moore maintained that Latoya Funches stabbed herself seven times in the neck Saturday morning, prosecutors said. Moore, who weighs 220 pounds, also said the roughly 115-pound Funches attacked him first for no reason at the residence in the 5500 block of South Halsted Street. But right after the murder, Moore admitted to his father that he may have killed Funches, 43, following an argument, prosecutors said.
