Talleda had killed Papa sometime around April 1, he had kept her body in his freezer until April 19, before he transported it in a shopping cart and dumped it in the river. His attorney attempted to convince the judge and jury that since his client lived with his wife and two daughters, it would have been impossible for them not to notice the body, and instead suggested that Papa had been killed by intruders while in Talleda's flat.
