as posted by the channelIn this episode of Crime Watch Daily Updates: Prom is one of those quintessential experiences that kids dream of for years. “Promposals” have become all the rage and asking someone to prom has become more elaborate than ever.
But in Milford, Connecticut, one student’s prom date request turned deadly.
Christopher Plaskon invited his 16-year-old ex, Maren Sanchez, to attend Jonathan Law High School’s junior prom with him, but she turned him down. On April 24, 2015, the day of the dance, Christopher attacked Maren in a stairwell and stabbed her several times with a steak knife. She was transported to a nearby hospital but died from her wounds.
He even told the police, “I did it. Just arrest me.”
Christopher pleaded no contest to murder in 2016 and was sentenced to 25 years in prison.
Let’s take a look back at the tragic killing of a promising student who was murdered on the day of the event she looked forward to the most.
