A Michigan woman charged in a deadly strangulation was sentenced to life in prison, Chief Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Jeff Williams confirmed Wednesday.
A jury found Iyanna Maria Colon guilty of first-degree murder in the death of 25-year-old Maan Alblowi in January 2022, Williams confirmed.
The two began to fight over loud music when Alblowi began to choke Colon, investigators said.
Colon claimed it was a life or death situation that caused her to in turn choke Alblowi, who stopped breathing, documents show.
Colon told police once she realized he was dead, she spent an hour and a half sitting next to him crying and praying before she covered him with a robe and dragged him into a closet.
Before leaving the apartment, Colon told police she slept on the man’s living room mattress for several hours then took a walk in the apartment complex’s parking lot because she was, “tired of looking at him.”
Colon also cleaned the apartment after the incident with cleaning products, which were later found by investigators, according to court records.
She reportedly told family that she had cleaned the apartment in an effort to conceal her fingerprints, police said.
