A copycat killer in Costa Rica, known only by his surname, Macotelo, is accused of killing his girlfriend Melissa Zuniga. After a heated argument, he apparently strangled his girlfriend to death, took a picture of her body, and sent it to her sister via Whatsapp.

Sound familiar? This comes just one week after a Florida man killed his wife and posted the photo on Facebook, admitting to his crime.

Macotelo confessed to the crime on Whatsapp, and then advised Melissa’s family of his whereabouts. Police found and arrested him.

Will murderers continue using social media as a way to clear their consciences?
