An Oklahoma woman killed her 33-year-old daughter by forcing a crucifix down her throat, telling cops she believed her offspring had been possessed by the devil.
Geneva Gomez's ex-boyfriend Francisco Merlos discovered her body on Saturday when he went to her mother's Oklahoma City home to check on her, according to The Oklahoman.
"Juanita stated she punched her daughter repeatedly and forced a crucifix and religious medallion down her throat until blood came out of her daughter's mouth," according to court documents obtained by the newspaper. "Juanita saw her daughter die and then placed the body in the shape of a cross."
Merlos told the newspaper that Geneva had visited him two days before and taken her belongings, at the request of her mother. Juanita Gomez wanted her daughter to dump Merlos, and had accused him of being a thief. He denies the allegation.
Merlos said when he arrived on Saturday, Juanita Gomez grabbed him, and he "hugged her and said I was sorry for what happened on Thursday," the paper reported.
"I was like 'where's my girl,' and she said 'she's in the room,'" Merlos told the paper.
"Usually, my girl is real happy. She'd say 'I'll be right out, baby,' or something like that," he continued. "But, it was just the TV going on, there was no sound or anything. And then I looked, and she was laying on her back with the cross on her chest, and you couldn't even recognize her face."
Juanita Gomez, 49, told police she believed her daughter was possessed by the devil, according to court records. She said she punched her daughter and forced a crucifix and a religious medallion down her throat.
She is facing a first-degree murder charge and is being held without bond.
Geneva had a close relationship with her mother, Merlos said.
"Today we were going to go to the courthouse and get married," he told the paper as he started crying.
