Tired of life with her cabinet-maker boyfriend of three years, Sibia Martinez wanted him gone.
She was even willing to pay for it -- $200.
Nearly six months after 29-year-old Jose Manuel Matute-Hernandez was found dead in his Davie apartment with two bullets in his brain, investigators arrested Martinez, saying the 21-year-old had her boyfriend killed by a bargain-rate hitman.
Police also on Thursday arrested Cesar Banegas, 24, and accused him of brokering the hit with his roommate, 22-year-old Jose Suarez, who police say shot Matute-Hernandez dead while he sat on his living room couch.
According to the trio's arrest affidavits, the plot to kill Matute-Hernandez began in late February or early March, several months after Martinez ran into Banegas, whom she hadn't seen since middle school.
Here is what Banegas told investigators, according to police affidavits filed by Detective Jeffrey Corns:
Martinez said she would pay to have her boyfriend killed, but Banegas said he would not take the job and did not know anybody who would.
Less than 24 hours later, over a game of cards and a few beers, Banegas mentioned the offer to Suarez, who said ``Tell her I'll do it,'' according to the affidavits.
Suarez wanted his identity kept a secret, so Banegas became the middle man, brokering a deal that would bring Suarez $100 up front and another $100 after he killed Hernandez.

Crimes are committed by all races. However in proportion to population Latinos commit a much higher percentage of crime.
Crime among low income whites is much higher than among middle class and upper class Latinos.
Charles Manson was a white man, just like you.
