A Nicaraguan judge sentenced a man to 30 years in prison for the murder of a young nursing student in upstate New York on Friday.
Former nursing student Orlando Tercero, 23, was found guilty of killing 22-year-old Haley Anderson in March 2018 by reportedly strangling her in his off-campus residence in Binghamton, New York.
Haley Anderson voluntarily visited Orlando Tercero’s apartment on Binghamton’s West Side early March 8, 2018 after parting ways with her friends. Fueled by jealousy and a sense of rejection, he strangled her.
Tercero was convicted of Femicide, a Nicaraguan law that covers domestic or sexually motivated murders of women.
The trial for Tercero, who is a dual citizen of the US and Nicaragua, was an increasingly rare one that saw the defendant prosecuted under Nicaragua’s legal system for a murder that happened on American soil.
Authorities said that Tercero fled to the Nicaraguan capital Managua after the murder and the trial was subsequently held there because Central American nation’s laws forbid the extradition of citizens.

Witnesses at the trial said Tercero had a romantic relationship with Anderson, but he became enraged when she rejected his demands for a more serious relationship and began dating other people.
Anderson’s friends and supporters reportedly watched the courtroom proceedings on a grainy livestream from a wood-paneled viewing room.
