Thomas Bergstrom, a 42-year-old man, has been sentenced to life in prison after pleading guilty to the second-degree murder of Jennifer Vazquez-Rivera in her Worcester apartment.
Witness statements and cell phone evidence directly linked Bergstrom to the stabbing, which occurred on October 2, 2019, in which Vazquez-Rivera was found fatally injured.
The Worcester County District Attorney's office stated that the guilty plea was supported by Vazquez-Rivera's family to spare her two minor children from the trauma of a trial.
District Attorney Joseph Early expressed hope that the plea would help Jennifer's family move forward from their tragedy, despite the irreparable loss they have suffered.
