She was accused of killing her common law husband, and 42 year old Mexican Annabell Kumul pleaded guilty to manslaughter today. 

In a confession, Kumul told police that she stabbed 28 year old Felix Alamailla because he had gone on a drinking spree. Kumul, who is a Mexican had just returned from Chetumal to find him at a friend’s house, sleeping on the couch.  She said she got so angry that she immediately stabbed him three times - but didn’t think it would be fatal.  Ultimately, the stab to the thigh is what caused him to bleed out and die.  

Today, after hearing a victim impact statement and a statement of remorse from Kumul’s attorney, Justice Colin Williams sentenced her to 15 years in prison for the crime.  But she’ll go home much earlier than that.  

Justice Williams explained that because she pleaded guilty she was entitled to one third off her sentence, or 10 years less. 

Also, he deducted 5 years and 6 months,  which was the time she had spent on remand. 

That left the time she has remaining in prison at 4 years and 6 months. 

Kumul met Felix in 2004 in Chetumal when he was at a rehabilitation center and they got together and went to live in San Pedro.

They had 2 children together.
