Man, 26, murdered lover, 73, and buried him in bathtub full of concrete

A man has been sentenced to life in prison after murdering his lover and burying him in a bathtub full of concrete. Juan Baron, 26, killed Gary Ruby, 73, some time between January 19, 2022, and March 7, 2022. This week, he pleaded guilty to killing Ruby after he had revealed an HIV-positive diagnosis.In the arrest warrant brutal details were revealed of how Baron conducted the crime, including how the killer used a belt to murder Ruby before dragging him into a bathtub in an attempt to frame it as a suicide. He later confessed to officers that, after finding bags of concrete in his garage, he covered the 73-year-old's body in the bathtub. Then, he explained that he covered the concrete with coffee grounds to mask the smell of the corpse. After the murder, Baron fled Hawaii with a friend, before being arrested in California. He was found inside a bus on its way to Mexico, hiding in a crawl space. The timeline of events still remains unclear, but according to the police, Baron lived in the victim's impressive $1.2 million home after his death and drove around in his Audi A6. He later admitted to the police that his plans were to forge documents that would allow him to fraudulently acquire the home.Judge Cathy Remigo sentenced Baron to two counts of theft and a count of identity theft as a result of stealing from Ruby, Island News reported. It was decided by the Hawaii Paroling Authority that Baron should serve the mandatory minimum before he can be considered for parole.The family members of Ruby were in attendance at the sentencing hearing, where they shared details about his love for literature, plays and fine art. They also reflected on his harrowing final moments with Baron.Ruby's niece shared: “The medical examiner found particles of cement in my uncle’s lungs. I have to live knowing that he was still breathing when you poured cement on him. You have to live with that too, Mr Barone. What a horrific way to die.”Lorne Ruby, the victim's brother, said to Baron in court: "You buried him alive. It was not enough for you to murder him. You inflicted horrible, unnecessary suffering upon him. How cold, how cruel, how inhumane, how evil such an act."
