Glendale police on Saturday arrested a 16-year-old girl after she allegedly strangled her 43-year-old boyfriend to death during a during what she claimed to be a consensual sex act.
According to the police the accused, Jessica Burlew told them that she and Ash would often get involved in auto-er*tic asphyxiation games prior to having sex. She used electrical wire to garote Jason Ash but when he lost consciousness she began to cut him with a razor blade to wake him and when he failed to respond she continued to cut him to ‘relieve her own stress’.
Ash was declared dead at 5.45 pm on Saturday after emergency services were called by Burlew’s mother, Tracey Woodside to their Phoenix apartment. The mother told the police that she left her 16-year-old daughter, who suffers from schizophrenia and autism,
alone with Ash and returned when Burlew phoned her to say that the 43-year-old man had been hurt.
Glendale police Sgt. Jay O’Neill said Jason Ash was found lifeless Saturday evening with multiple cuts to his body and a cord around his neck.
O’Neill said that Burlew told police the pair was involved in a ‘consensual s*x act involving strangulation,’ but that things went wrong.
The girl, whose name was not released by police because she is a juvenile, was booked Saturday into a detention facility on suspicion of second-degree murder. She remained there Tuesday.
