Man pleads not guilty in strangulation of ex-girlfriend
|
In a hearing at the Vista branch of San Diego County Superior Court, Michael David Robles pleaded not guilty to charges of kidnapping and first-degree murder in the death of Kathleen Cary Scharbarth, 34, of Carlsbad.
According to prosecutors, Robles allegedly strangled Scharbarth in her home Nov. 23 minutes after she walked a new boyfriend to his car. Scharbarth's 13-year-old daughter was asleep in the home.
Robles then cleaned up evidenc of the struggle and took Scharbarth's body to a remote canyon and buried it in a shallow grave, prosecutors said.
Scharbarth's family reported her missing the next day, and her body was found Saturday. Hours after, Robles was arrested.
Days before her murder, Scharbarth filed a domestic violence claim against Robles and received a restraining order against him.
Robles is being held without bail. He is facing charges of murder by lying in wait, which mean he could possibly get the death penalty. Robles had purchased tickets to Mexico, suggesting he planned to flee the area to avoid police, prosecutors say.
