Román Rengifo, 31, suspected his live-in girlfriend of cheating. Do you know what he did? He beat her, tied her with cords, locked her in a closet, choked her, and repeatedly dunked her head into a bathtub filled with water, Miami police said Sunday. He did all this for three hours late Saturday before he left the apartment. Eventually, police said Rengifo tied the woman up with cords and threw her in a closet. When he saw that she was trying to escape, he tied her to a bedpost. After he left she was able to get loose and call for help. The 38 year old victim who does not want to be identified until Rengifo is caught was taken to the hospital for injuries, which included severe bruises and a broken nose, said William Moreno a Miami police spokesman. Police are still searching for Rengifo. Below is a little of what Moreno said:

”The torture that he showed to this lady is not human, and we do need to bring this individual to justice,” Moreno said. “Right now we don’t know what his next step would be, but we do consider him extremely dangerous.”Here’s what happened, according to police:

The beating began at around 9 p.m. Saturday, after she got to the apartment in the 400 block of Northwest Fourth Street.

Rengifo, who had been drinking, confronted her about being unfaithful to him.

She said she had not been, but he began hitting her despite the denials.

”She was punched and kicked multiple times in the face,” Moreno said.

He choked her twice, at one point she lost consciousness.

”He continues to threaten that he will kill her with a knife,” Moreno said. “He says he has techniques from the military in Peru, he can make terrorists talk. He dunks her head into the bathtub several times.”

Using several cords from cell phone chargers, he tied her and bound her hands with a belt, putting her in a closet.

When he realized she was trying to escape, he removed her from the closet and tied her to a bedpost.

After midnight, Rengifo left the apartment, telling her he would return.

She was able to free herself and get help.

She will be placed in protective custody, police said.

I really hope she is ok and they catch this guy. This is really sad and should have been handled a different way. I hope she is planning on staying a way from him. Because, I do not want to see another article saying the charges were dropped and they are back together. Being drunk is no excuse because he will get drunk again and next time she might not be so lucky. So, hopefully once he is locked up she can put this pass her and move on with her life.  What’s your opinion?
