Spurned colleague ‘murders’ woman

Miami Beach man whose repeated romantic advances to a restaurant co-worker were rejected killed the woman outside her apartment, authorities said.

Agustin Lucas Mariani, 20, faces second-degree murder charges for the stabbing death of Delfina Pan, 28, who refused to date him, the Miami Herald reported.

A neighbor and friend of Pan’s said that last Monday night, Mariani “arrived at the victim’s apartment, uninvited, and waited for the victim,” according to a Miami Beach Police report.

When Pan came home, Mariani requested to speak to her inside her apartment, but she refused — prompting an enraged Mariani to kill her, authorities allege.

He “produced a knife and without being provoked began to stab the victim,” according to police. That knife was reportedly missing from the restaurant where the victim and suspect worked.

Mariani then stabbed himself in the chest, giving himself a nonfatal wound, according to the Miami Herald.

He was found lying on top of Pan outside her apartment, according to multiple reports.

Both were rushed to Jackson Memorial Hospital, where Pan was pronounced dead and Mariani was charged with second-degree murder.

The pair worked at the Kansas Bar & Grill in Miami Beach, where Mariani mostly kept to himself, according to Today in 24.

“He worked with us. A super strange boy, and nobody knew anything about his life. He went to work and did not say hello to anyone,” Pan’s friend told the outlet.

Pan graduated from the University of Buenos Aires in 2016 and had worked as a graphic designer in her home country, Argentina.

She moved to the United States two years ago.
