Suspect in Riverview woman's murder in court for bond hearing Monday

TAMPA, Fla. - A Tampa judge could decide Monday whether the man accused of stabbing his girlfriend's cousin to death at a Riverview home, then dumping her body in the Weedon Island Preserve, will stay behind bars until his trial.

The backstory:

According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, Arnaldo Cintron, 42, stabbed Hiojaira Velez Bonilla, 42, during an argument over bills at a home they shared on Maybrook Ave. in Riverview earlier this month.

The victim's boyfriend, who claimed to have witnessed the murder, told detectives that Cintron and his girlfriend, 37-year-old Giselle Bonilla, forced him to help clean up the crime scene and drive the victim's car to dump her body in the Weedon Island Preserve in Pinellas County.

The witness told investigators that Cintron and Giselle Bonilla threatened to kill both him and the victim's son if he didn't help cover up the crime.

Last Monday, investigators arrested Cintron and Giselle Bonilla in the 10000 block of Parsons St.

Arnaldo Cintron is currently being held without bond on the following charges:

• Second-degree murder with a weapon
• Unlawfully hold or move a dead human body in unapproved conditions
• Tampering with physical evidence
• Tampering with a witness

Giselle Bonilla is being held on $200,000 bond on the following charges:

• Tampering with physical evidence
• Unlawfully hold or move a dead human body in unapproved conditions
• Tampering with a witness
• Accessory after the fact

What's next:

Monday's bond hearing for Cintron is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m.
