The suspect’s father told DailyMail.com that he believed the beating had been booze fueled.

‘They’d been binge drinking for a while and I think that probably had something to do with it. It was definitely the alcohol,’ Carlos Casillas, 67, told DailyMail.com.

‘When she’s not drinking she’s a different person but she started drinking the past few years well before the relationship started,’ Raquelle’s father explained. 

He noted that he did not know the woman who died nor the man the pair shared.

‘They probably got along because they were all alcoholics,’ he added. 

Deputies were alerted to home on Tuesday at about 4am after the love triangle appeared to completely collapse.

Deputies were called to find Casillas' friend lying unconscious in the bathroom of the home, but she was still breathing. She was taken to hospital but died two days later
