A woman Juanita
Gomez, 49 of Oklahoma City has been arrested in the US for killing her daughter
Geneva, whom she said was possessed by evil spirit. She shoved a crucifix down
her throat until
blood gushed out, police said. Geneva, whose body was found by
authorities stretched out on the floor with a large crucifix resting on her
chest with blood everywhere, and she had suffered severe trauma around her head
and face,” said court documents filed on Monday.
Court documents also showed that Juanita cleaned her
daughter’s dead body after placing it in a cross position. She told
investigators that she believed her daughter, 33, who was living with her, had
been possessed by demons
According to investigators, she admitted to punching Geneva
multiple times “and forced a crucifix and religious medallion down her throat
until blood came out of her daughter’s mouth. Juanita saw her daughter die and
then placed her body in the shape of a cross.” Geneva Gomez’s ex-boyfriend,
Francisco Merlos, said he was the one who alerted authorities to her death.
According to reports, he and Geneva split two days before her death, and he
went by the house on Saturday hoping to get back together with her. When he
knocked, Juanita opened the door and pulled him inside. “[Geneva] was lying on
her back with the cross on her chest,” he said. “You couldn’t even recognize
her face.” Merlos tried to leave the home, but Gomez tried to lock him in the
house. “I just push her to the side, open the door and she tries to get me in a
chokehold,” he added. When Merlos got outside, he called the police. Juanita is
being held without bail.
