Confessed Murderer Alexander Clever Sentenced After He Reportedly Cut Out His Victims’ Lung While She Still Lived


Confessed murderer Alexander Clever was charged with a crime that, even on the surface, would be unthinkable to most. The 28-year-old Pomona man was accused of brutally murdering his girlfriend in the bathroom of a budget motel. The killing was a particularly gruesome one, with Alexander Clever being accused of not just slaying his 35-year-old girlfriend Yvette Silva, but of butchering her, too.

According to law enforcement, confessed murderer Alexander Clever didn’t simply kill Silva, he murdered her in the first-degree with the special circumstances of torture and mayhem added to the already unimaginable crime.

What happened in that hotel bathroom was something so brutal that it shook even seasoned investigators to their core. As the Los Angeles Times reports, confessed murderer Alexander Clever cut the heart and a lung from his victim’s body following an argument that got out of control.

Clever pleaded no contest earlier in 2016 to the charges levied against him; specifically, first-degree murder with the added circumstances of torturing his victim, as well as “mayhem.” On Monday, the confessed murderer learned his fate.

The horrific crime in question took place on November 29, 2014. That was when Alexander Clever, his girlfriend and eventual murder victim Yvette Silva, and two others were allegedly staying in at the Pomona Motel 6. According to prosecutors and witnesses of the brutal end to Silva’s life, she and Alexander Clever had gone into the hotel room’s bathroom to argue. The nature of that argument hasn’t been made public.

According to the pair of witnesses sharing the hotel room, they got involved in the situation when they heard Silva screaming in panic. They reportedly saw Alexander Clever choking his victim and tried desperately to free her from his grasp, but were unsuccessful in their attempts. The witnesses have testified that by this time, Alexander Clever’s victim was already unconscious.

That was when the pair left the scene of the violence to try to find help for Yvette. They would ultimately be too late to spare her a torturous fate.

As the Huffington Post reports, while the witnesses attempted to get help, confessed murdered Alexander Clever began torturing his girlfriend, stabbing her and cutting her up. By the time officers from the Pomona arrived at the scene of the bloody crime, Yvette Silva’s heart and lung had been cut from her body. She was found desiccated in the budget hotel’s shower, her organs completely detached and sitting some distance away.

Following the discovery made by police, EMTs arrived at the scene of the murder and pronounced the victim of Alexander Clever dead. A subsequent autopsy of the butchered 35-year-old indicated that, at the time that her right lung was cut from her chest, she had still been alive.

Alexander Clever was not at the hotel when law enforcement arrived, having fled the scene of his torturous crime. However, he was found and arrested within two days. According to prosecutors, at the time of his arrest, he was still in possession of the knife he’d used to murder and cut up his victim. Silva’s DNA was reportedly found on the knife by forensic investigators.

Reportedly, confessed murderer Alexander Clever had just been released from prison and was supposed to be on “community supervision” when he brutally killed Yvette Silva. The Pomona Police Department has reportedly opted not to release his mug shot.

Despite pleading no charges to mayhem, torture, and first-degree murder, law enforcement has yet to discover what precisely led to the murder or what compelled Alexander Clever to mutilate the mother of one in November of 2014.

“There did not appear to be a clear motive.”

In his sentencing hearing, confessed murderer Alexander Clever learned that he would spend the rest of his life in prison and never have the possibility of parole; some small semblance of justice and comfort to the family of his victim.
