Robert Baker, 61, admitted that he killed celebrity hairdresser Fabio Sementilli on Jan. 23, 2017, leaving him in a pool of blood in what was initially thought to be a home-invasion robbery gone wrong.
The man accused of brutally stabbing a hairdressing mogul to death at his Woodland Hills home in a 2017 murder fueled by an extramarital affair pleaded guilty to the crime Friday, and will spend the rest of his life in prison. He was immediately sentenced to life without parole by Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Ronald Coen after a steady stream of Sementilli's loved ones told the court how the mogul's slaying did irreparable damage to their family.
They presented evidence that she and Baker had remote access to the video security system and accused Monica of watching a live feed of the area shortly before the killing to ensure Baker had a clear path to her husband. Prosecutors alleged that she even let her 16-year-old daughter come home first and discover the crime scene. 'Monica fully intended for Fabio to be murdered,' Los Angeles County Deputy Dist. Atty. Beth Silverman told a grand jury in 2017.
