A sadistic serial killer yesterday pleaded guilty in New York to killing a Sangre Grande woman and seven others from in and around the American city.

Rex Heuermann, a hulking, six-foot, four-inch-tall Manhattan architect, husband and father of two, lived a double life as a torturer and killer of women for three decades before he was arrested in 2023.

Sandra Costilla, previously Sandra Rajkumar, was 28 when she was tortured and killed by Heuermann. Her body was discovered by two hunters in the North Sea area of Long Island, NY on November 20, 1993. She is believed to be his earliest victim.
