RIVERSIDE (CNS) – A convicted domestic abuser who allegedly killed his live-in girlfriend more than 20 years ago and then fled to Mexico, where he was apprehended earlier this year and returned to the United States, pleaded not guilty Tuesday to murder and other charges. Lorenzo Castellanos, 72, is accused of fatally stabbing Maria Robles in 2001. Along with murder, Castellanos is charged with child endangerment and a sentence-enhancing allegation of using a deadly weapon in the commission of a felony.
