<h6><span style="color: #000000;"> He was tried for ;first-degree murder in Lawrence, Massachusetts, just outside of Boston</span></h6>
<h6><span style="color: #000000;">The high school student then aged 15, &#8216;flew into a jealous rage because his girlfriend was talking to a classmate&#8217;</span></h6>
<h6><span style="color: #000000;">The teen stabbed Viloria-Paulino ;76 times, beheaded the boy and cut off his hands&#8217; after sending chilling text message saying ‘I think of killing someone everyday and I smirk&#8217;</span></h6>
<h6><span style="color: #000000;">Prosecutors allege that Borges killed Viloria-Paulino in November 2016 when the two went to a riverbank to smoke pot</span></h6>
<h6><span style="color: #000000;">Viloria-Paulino&#8217;s body was found a month later by a woman walking her dog</span></h6>

<h6><span style="color: #000000;">Borges, who was then 15 but was tried as an adult, faces 25 to 30 years in prison <span style="font-size: inherit;">for premeditated murder and extreme cruelty and atrocity</span></span></h6>

On the night the murder, Viloria-Paulino, 16, and Borges went to the riverbank. </span></span><span style="font-size: inherit;">Police said surveillance video captured the victim and Borges walking together toward the river.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">Borges later told police that he and Viloria-Paulino had gone to the river to smoke marijuana but they later parted ways.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">Four boys testified that they had plotted with Borges to rob the victim&#8217;s home that same night and steal his clothes, belts and PlayStation.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">Borges was chosen out of the group as the person who should lure Viloria-Paulino to the river, the court heard.<br />

Prosecutors say that Borges told other teens who were later interviewed by police: ‘I killed him. He’s dead.’<br />
Borges is allegedly seen on surveillance video walking toward the river with Viloria-Paulino on the night of his death.<br />

Prosecutors said that while Borges and Viloria-Paulino were out by the river, a group of four of Borges’ friends broke into Viloria-Paulino’s home.<br />
The teens allegedly told police that Borges planned to kill Viloria-Paulino.<br />
Prosecutors allege that a note found by investigators reveals how Borges planned to carry out the crime.<br />
‘Go chill with him in his crib alone&#8230; bring duffel bag, wear bags on shoes, wear clothes you don&#8217;t care about,’ the note allegedly read.</div>

<div>But Borges’ attorney, Ed Hayden, said the text messages and the note cited by prosecutors do not prove that his client is a killer.<br />
Hayden said that Borges broke into Viloria-Paulino’s home, but he did not kill him.<br />
&#8216;There is no murder weapon, there is no tools to dismember a body, there are no fingerprints, there is no blood, there is no DNA,&#8217; Hayden told ;<a class="class" href="https://boston.cbslocal.com/2019/04/29/lawrence-beheading-trial-mathew-borges-lee-viloria-paulino/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">WBZ-TV</a>.<br />
The text messages that prosecutors cited were ‘loaded with the f-bomb the n-word, weed and sex. That’s what that group chat was about,’ Hayden said.<br />
‘In these thousands of texts and messages there is no evidence that Matthew killed Lee.<br />
‘Anything incriminating is referring to the house break.<br />
‘There is nothing in all these messages.’<br />
