Confession tells of drinking victim's blood

Published: Wednesday, January 27, 1999

 

EDINBURG (AP) - A South Texas man said the devil told him to kill a teen-ager and he later drank the boy's blood, according to a videotaped confession played for jurors Tuesday.

 

Pablo Lucio Vasquez is accused of killing and mutilating David Cardenas. The 12-year-old was partying with Vasquez and others on the night of April 17-18 when he was killed.

 

His body was found five days later, scalped and dismembered under some aluminum slabs in a vacant field in Donna.

 

shl"One side of my head said, `You did wrong,' " Vasquez said on the tape, which was recorded on April 23, the day after he was arrested. "The other side said, `Keep doing it. Keep doing it."'

 

In the tape, Vasquez said he and Andy Chapa, also accused of Cardenas' murder, were both drunk that night. Vasquez told investigators he had also had cocaine and marijuana then.

 

After hitting Cardenas with a metal pipe, Vasquez recalled, he slit the boy's throat with a knife. Vasquez said he then hoisted the boy on his shoulder and drank the blood that was flowing freely from Cardenas' wound.frsChaparca Scissors-32x32.png
