No Bond for Man Charged in Girlfriend's Murder in Wynwood

A man accused of stabbing to death his girlfriend in a Wynwood home was ordered held without bond during a court appearance Friday.

Carlos Enriquez-Polledo, 58, is facing a first-degree murder charge in the killing of 28-year-old Cylkia Gerena Maldonado.

Wearing a suicide prevention vest, Enriquez-Polledo was represented by a public defender at Friday's court hearing.

The defender argued unsuccessfully for a lesser charge of manslaughter.

According to an arrest report, Enriquez-Polledo walked into Miami Police headquarters and told an officer he had killed his girlfriend.

He led investigators to the home in the 3400 block of Northwest 1st Avenue where they found the body of Maldonado with a stab wound to her neck, the report said.

Enriquez-Polledo later admitted to stabbing Maldonado during a lovers quarrel, the report said.

Maldonado's family said she leaves behind her 8-year-old daughter.
