(IBEXNews) - A cold-blooded Pennsylvania man who filmed himself beating his girlfriend to death this week brought the unconscious victim to the hospital in an Uber and then falsely claimed she had been attacked by three women, authorities said.
The heinous attack happened in the hours following a Super Bowl party the couple attended Sunday night in Montgomery County. Nicholas Forman, who now faces murder charges, beat the 22-year-old woman over a text message she received from an ex-boyfriend, the local district attorney’s office said in a news release Thursday.
Police said the jealous boyfriend even filmed parts of the attack on his cellphone.
“This is what a cheating liar gets," a man police believe to be Forman was heard saying in the footage, which shows the young woman lying on a lawn.

The victim, Sabrina Harooni, died Monday after he brought her to a hospital in Pottstown with severe head trauma, according to an arrest warrant obtained Thursday by The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Forman, 23, told the driver and hospital staff that three women had jumped her during a fight Sunday night and that she was severely injured but seemed OK, authorities said. He then told them her condition worsened and he decided to bring her to the hospital Monday morning, the warrant reportedly states.
Police said the suspect made up that story and that the woman was “ice cold” when he dropped her off at the hospital, where doctors were unable to save her.

A Facebook user who described Harooni as his classmate said he was heartbroken.
“You and I weren't close, but damnit you didn't deserve this Sabrina Harooni,” Trey Yarnall wrote in a post Thursday. “We all love you so much. Rest in paradise.”
An Uber driver who drove the couple from the Super Bowl party to the suspect’s Perkiomen Township home told police Forman became aggressive after she refused to show him a message from her ex.
After dropping them off, the driver said he continued watching them as they kept arguing in the driveway, according to the release.
Forman on Thursday told a local TV crew he did not kill his girlfriend. As he was escorted into a police cruiser, the man cursed and made an obscene gesture at the reporter.
The suspect was charged with first-degree murder and is being held without bail at the Montgomery County Correctional Facility. He’s scheduled to appear in court Wednesday for a preliminary hearing.
