MAN ARRESTED IN MONTEREY WITH KIDNAPPED 2 YEAR OLD SON PLEADS GUILTY TO GIRLFRIENDS MURDER

RAHWAY, N.J. — A New Jersey man has pleaded guilty to charges he killed his ex-girlfriend and kidnapped their 2-year-old son.  Tyler Rios, 27, was arrested last July in Monterey, Tennessee following an AMBER Alert and a manhunt that lasted two days.  The boy was not harmed.

Rios admitted in a New Jersey court Monday to losing control of his emotions and killing his ex-girlfriend with a wrestling move by putting his forearm across her throat until she stopped breathing.

He was charged with first-degree aggravated manslaughter and second-degree desecration of human remains after police say he was found with his son and the body of 24-year-old Yasemin Uyar.  Rios faces 25 years in prison on the aggravated manslaughter charge and five more years on the desecration of human remains charge when he is sentenced in June, Union County Assistant Prosecutor Robert Grady said about the plea agreement.
