Yesterday the court was shown the tape of defendant Lewis's confession to police.
He told investigators that he was seeing red because some guy moved into his neighborhood.
He was in the marsh-swamp area near his home and grabbed Karina as she was jogging past him.
He said she clawed at his face as he beat her five times, knocking her unconscious.
'She didn't yell,' the accused killer said in the video, with not even a flicker of emotion on his cold face.
'She was finished. I finished her off, I strangled her. She fell into the puddle and drowned. I got up and wiped off the blood. And she was calm, she was in the pool of water.'
