The Tragic Death of Regina Arroyo
In a devastating turn of events, the life of Regina Arroyo was cut short last December, allegedly at the hands of her own son, Terry Lee Self Jr. The 37-year-old Columbia man is now facing murder charges in connection with his mother’s untimely demise.
The Discovery of the Body
The grim discovery of Regina Arroyo’s body was made by a passing canoer in the Edisto River on December 3. According to Lexington County Sheriff Jay Koon, detectives later confirmed that Arroyo and her son had been together at his residence before an argument ensued, leading to the tragic events that unfolded.
Details of the Crime
Lexington County Coroner Margaret Fisher identified the victim as Regina Arroyo, shedding light on the horrific manner in which she met her end. Sheriff Koon revealed that evidence pointed towards Self using a ligature to strangle his mother before callously disposing of her body in the river.
The Investigation and Arrest
Following seven months of relentless investigation, authorities were able to zero in on Terry Lee Self Jr. as the prime suspect in his mother’s murder. Self, who was already in custody at the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center in Richland County on an unrelated charge, now faces the weight of the murder allegations against him.
Seeking Closure for the Family
Sheriff Koon expressed hope that the arrest of Self would provide some semblance of closure to Regina Arroyo’s grieving family and loved ones. The diligent efforts of detectives in piecing together the events leading to Arroyo’s death culminated in the arrest and charging of Self, who was promptly denied bond by the magistrate.
Continuing the Pursuit of Justice
As the case unfolds, authorities are dedicated to ensuring that justice is served for Regina Arroyo and her loved ones. The tragic loss of a life in such a heinous manner serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of human relationships and the devastating impact of domestic disputes gone awry.
