Two Spring teens are still in the Montgomery County Jail after investigators spent more than 16 hours at the location where they are accused of dumping the dead body of 17-year-old Eugene Posana Villaruel, near Magnolia Nov. 2.
Just after 8:30 a.m. a jogger made the gruesome discovery in the 28200 block of Ascot Farms Road off Dobbin Huffsmith Road. Villaruel had been beaten, stabbed and dumped 20 yards off the roadway in a wooded area.
Capt. B. Zenor of the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division said the location was termed an “obvious homicide scene” because of evidence and interviews with suspects.
“There was enough evidence to indicate how he was killed and what was used,” he said. “The body had been drugged as well.”
Edgar Arturo Sazo, 17, and Edson H. Olvera-Garza, 18, friends and seniors at Westfield High School in the Spring Independent School District, confessed to the stabbing death. Both are being held in a Montgomery County jail on first degree murder charges, according to Lt. Bill Bucks with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes Unit.
Bucks confirmed that Villaruel had multiple stab wounds to the chest and neck. He said, Villaruel’s family told detectives that the three teens left together to attend a quinceañera. In a press released issued by Bucks, an involvement with Sazo’s 14-year-old sister was cited as the reason for the killing.
“The homicide allegedly occurred because the victim was dating Sazo’s sister,” he said.
Bond is set at $150,000 for Sazo and $250,000 for Olvera-Garza. The two were still in Montgomery County jail as of Nov. 7. All three of the teenaged boys attended Westfield.
