A woman in Texas is trouble with the law after she allegedly stabbed her boyfriend to death with a stiletto heel.

45-year-old Ana Trujillo is said to have attacked her boyfriend, Alf Stefan Andersson and stabbed him with the sharp heel of a shoe at least 25 times.

The accused has maintained that she attacked her boyfriend in self-defense and that the killing was not premeditated murder as insinuated.

Trujillo said that Andersson, a professor and researcher from Sweden, had tried to suffocate her in his apartment and she was protecting herself.

However, one Rosemary Gomez, a cab driver who dropped them off testified that the suspect had been acting violently towards the deceased before his death.
