Tuesday was the second day of sentencing submissions for a man who pleaded guilty to second degree murder of a pregnant Windsor woman.
Warning: some may find details in this case extremely disturbing.
Matthew Brush, of LaSalle, pleaded guilty to second degree murder in the death of 31-year-old Cassandra Kaake, who was seven months pregnant at the time.
Emergency crews were called to the home on Dec. 11, 2014 for a fire and discovered Kaake’s body.
In November, Brush also pled guilty to arson.
A videotaped statement was viewed again in the courtroom on Tuesday. In the statement, Brush admits to choking Kaake and slitting her throat under questioning by the investigating officer.
Brush also admitted to taking a shower in her house and taking the knife wit him when he left.
Sentencing submissions are expected to continue on Wednesday.
