Mother orders 7-yr-old son killed so she can send body to his father as birthday gift

A sick woman who urged her boyfriend to murder her son so she could send his body to the father as a birthday present is jailed for 42 years.

Karina Sandoval and her lover Gonzalo Hernandez murdered her child.

A 26-year-old described by as an evil mother by a judge, Karina Luna Sandoval, has been sentenced to 42 years in prison after she asked her boyfriend, Gonzalo del Rio Hernandez, to kill her seven-year-old son so she can send his body to the father as a birthday present because he abandoned them.

The Mexico born Sandoval carefully and painstakingly planned the murder of her own child with her new lover, Hernandez, 23, and arranged for the boy to be stabbed to death and send the boy’s body to the father as a twisted gift on his birthday.

The murder occurred when the mother told her son, Miguel Saul, to wait in the courtyard for his father to arrive.

While the child was outside, Gonzalo attacked him with an ax. Family members heard the boy’s screams and came to his rescue.

After being chased and caught, Gonzalo admitted that he and Sandoval planned the murder and were planning to make it look like the work of a mystery attacker.

He also confessed that they planned to start a new life without the child.

The boy died two days later in hospital.

Hernandez himself received a sentence of 40 years in prison.
