An Illinois woman with a flying saucer tattooed on her forehead was sentenced to 30 years behind bars for murdering her girlfriend.
Alexia Telles, 28, pleaded guilty to first-degree murder last week in connection to the tragic death of Annissa Ellen-Williams, 25, the Kendall County State’s Attorney’s Office announced Monday.
Telles, who has several other face tattoos, was charged in connection with the February 2023 slaying after Ellen-Williams died of a traumatic head injury at a home in Oswego – about an hour outside of Chicago.
Life-saving attempts were made on Ellen-Williams, but she died at the scene, according to prosecutors.
After her death, authorities discovered the couple, who appeared to be in a long-term relationship, had gotten into some sort of disagreement while Ellen-Williams was driving just before they arrived at the home.
Forensic and digital evidence, along with statements made to police, soon revealed Telles ‘intentionally killed’ her partner and made it look like Ellen-Williams had committed suicide, investigators concluded.
Investigators did not specify what sparked the argument and how the killing was carried out.
‘These cases can be difficult to prosecute because only two people know exactly what occurred that fateful night,’ Kendall County State’s Attorney Eric Weis said.

‘However, the investigative work done by law enforcement and the Coroner’s Office led to the successful prosecution of Telles for the murder of Ms. Ellen-Williams.’
Telles, who has remained in custody since her arrest, was ordered to serve her entire 30-year prison sentence, followed by three years of supervised release, prosecutors said.
‘This sentence ensures that justice is served, and the victim’s family does not have to endure the pain of a trial,’ Weis stated.
‘Telles has accepted responsibility for the heartless act she committed against someone she professed to care so much for.’
Daily Mail contacted Weis and Telles’ attorneys, Josh Adams and Alana De Leon, for comment.
The couple appeared to be in a relationship for years, as their first ever post on Telles’ Facebook was from 2016.

This story comes months after a 22-year-old woman was found naked and discarded in the grass after getting into a domestic dispute with her abusive boyfriend.
Nahomi Citttadini, of Miami Beach, Florida was found abandoned on the side of the highway in early December.
