Contreras, the owner of Kings Cuisine Restaurant, who was charged with murdering his mother-in-law, 50 year-old Argentina Aravello, is tonight at prison awaiting a sentence after taking his plea in the Supreme Court today.

The incident occurred on December 13, 2010 in Ladyville, where Aravello went to his restaurant, located on the airport road, to visit her daughter, Leslie Contreras. Peter Contreras offered her a ride, and while they were on the way, they got into an argument.

That argument, led to a physical confrontation, where Peter Contreras punched her twice in the face. She tried to get away, but Contreras used a rope to pull her back in. He later used that rope to strangle her, and he then drove around with the body for hours.

It was not until the following day that a police mobile intercepted him, and the body was found in his trunk.

He initially claimed that he knocked her down, but he changed his story and confessed to choking her to death. He admitted guilt once again before Justice Adolph Lucas, and told the court that he was very sorry for what he did. He claimed that it was out of provocation.
