Dmitry Smirnov pleaded guilty on Friday to stalking and brutally murdering a woman he dated for a few weeks because she broke up with him.
In a quiet, rambling explanation in DuPage County Court in the Chicago suburbs, the 21-year-old Canadian said that he had dated Jitka Vesel briefly after meeting while playing World of Warcraft, the Chicago Tribune reports. But when she broke it off and began seeing her previous boyfriend again, Smirnov became enraged.
More than two years later, he came back to Illinois to find her and murder her in the parking lot of her work. Vesel was shot twelve times while attempting to flee Smirnov.
