Authorities say Kevin Motykie brutally tortured and sexually assaulted his longtime girlfriend, Katherine Torbick, for hours inside their Illinois home before allegedly strangling her to death, an attack prosecutors claim was partially recorded. Torbick, a hardworking nurse and mother of a 12-year-old son, had previously accused Motykie of violence and reportedly feared he would one day kill her, with a pending warrant already out for his arrest in connection to an earlier alleged assault.

He needs to experience every single thing that she experienced by his hands leading up to her death as part of his punishment.

I think someone being tortured to death should qualify for death penalty.

The fact that he recorded himself doing this is so sadistic. Hopefully her family is able to get some justice.

She is so far out of his league it doesn’t even seem real.

1. Plan your exit carefully and in private. 2. Leave when it’s safe to do so, all at once, with one final communication. 3. Tell trusted people what’s happening so you’re not isolated and have support. 4. Cut off all contact, no excuses. if contact is necessary (children, legal matters), keep it between lawyers. 5. Seek professional support, such as domestic violence hotlines or counselors, who can help with planning and risk assessment. 6. Have lethal means available. Mentally and situationally prepare yourself to protect yourself by whatever means necessary if they ever try to interact with you or are on your property.

The brutality is horrifying. This monster subjected her to hours of pain before finally taking her life, stealing her future and robbing a child of a loving Mother.
