Michigan Woman Beat Friend To Death After Fighting Over A Man They Were In Throuple With

A Michigan woman is facing murder charges after allegedly killing her ‘best friend’ over a man.

According to Daily Mail, Raquelle Casillas, 44, had allegedly ‘shared’ the same man with a 44-year-old woman, who is yet to be identified.

Raquelle shared a photo captioned ‘My best friend’ on Facebook in the week prior to the death. Both women were all smiles with black eyes, cuts, and bruises in the snap.

One user commented on the pic, asking why both women were heavily bruised and scratched up, Raquelle responded: ‘We were fighting. I took her boyfriend.’

The two ladies had been fighting over a 44-year-old man for several days. He ended up reporting an assault in his home, and when police arrived they found one of the women unconscious.

The woman was taken to McLaren Hospital where doctors said she suffered a head trauma. Two days later she passed away. Raquelle’s father spoke with the site and said he believed the beating had been ‘booze fueled’.

‘They’d been binge drinking for a while and I think that probably had something to do with it. It was definitely the alcohol,’ Carlos Casillas, 67, told DailyMail.com of the deadly love triangle.

‘When she’s not drinking she’s a different person but she started drinking the past few years – well before the relationship started.’ ‘They probably got along because they were all alcoholics,’ he added.  Raquelle has been charged with one count of open murder.
