AUSTIN - A jury on Monday convicted a former University of Texas
student of murder in the shooting and mutilation death of a
21-year-old woman.

The body of Jennifer Cave was found in a bathtub with her head and
hands cut off.

Colton Pitonyak, 24, testified he didn’t remember killing Cave, but
that it must have been unintentional.

Prosecutors have portrayed the defendant as a drug-dealing junkie.
Pitonyak told the jury that he was under the influence of drugs and
alcohol the night Cave died in August 2005, but conceded that nobody
else could have done it.

However, the defendant said that he and Cave were close friends and
that he doesn’t believe he would have killed her on purpose.

Umm, she slipped and fell neck first on my hacksaw 132 times…..
