MANAGUA, Nicaragua - A pregnant Nicaraguan teenager allegedly shot her 53-year-old American lover and enlisted her siblings to help dismember the body, police said Tuesday.
The 17-year-old girl, who is eight months pregnant, told human rights officials in Esteli that she shot her live-in boyfriend, Kenneth A. Kinzel, on May 12 because he threatened to kill her, said Lt. Abel Herrera.
The girl said her 14-year-old sister and 19-year-old brother helped her cut up the body to put the pieces in plastic bags. They then drove outside the city and buried the bags in two different places in northern Nicaragua, Herrera said.
Police located the remains and were conducting DNA tests to confirm their identity.
The U.S. Embassy confirmed the man's death and his name, but did not immediately have any information about his hometown.
Also on Tuesday, the embassy confirmed that an American woman, Lemon E. Groves, 49, had died of injuries suffered when she was attacked in her home in the Nicaraguan city of Grenada last week.
Embassy officials had no further information on that death.
