Arizona, September 7: In a chilling case from Marana, a town near Tucson, Arizona, 29-year-old Taton Dorfman has been convicted of second-degree murder for killing his girlfriend, Hannah Rogers, 30, and her dog in June last year. Dorfman has been sentenced to 25 years in prison, according to The New York Post.

Authorities said the attack occurred inside a home on West Mosquito Drive. Following the killing, Dorfman shockingly called his ex-girlfriend on FaceTime, lying next to Rogers’ body, with blood clearly visible around her head. During the video call, he admitted, “I killed her! I did it!” His ex-girlfriend immediately captured screenshots of the call and notified police, prompting a swift response. US Horror: Man Kills and Dismembers 19-Year-Old Girl on First Date Before Scattering Remains in Milwaukee; Faces Life Term.
