WASHINGTON — Interrogation video has been released of the confession of Venus Iraheta, then 17, to the murder of a Gaithersburg 15-year-old.

Damaris Reyes Rivas, 15, disappeared from her home in December 2016. She was killed near Lake Accotink Park, in Springfield, Virginia, Jan. 8, 2017. Ten people were ultimately arrested in her death.

Iraheta confessed to stabbing the girl several times. She was targeted because the group thought she had lured Christian Sosa Rivas, an MS-13 clique leader and Iraheta’s boyfriend, to his death earlier that month. Iraheta pleaded guilty Monday to first-degree murder, abduction and gang participation.
