A female gang-member belonging to the notorious street gang MS-13 told her murder victim she would 'see her in hell' as her grisly death was filmed, an FBI agent testified on Monday.
The disturbing account was given in a court in Virginia, where 17-year-old Jose Cerrato is on trial for orchestrating the murder of 15-year-old Damaris A. Reyes Rivas in a Fairfax County park.
At least 10 members of MS-13 have been arrested since the gruesome murder of Rivas, including Venus Romero Iraheta, 17, who allegedly screamed at the victim as she was filmed stabbing her 13-times.

At least 10 members of MS-13 have since been arrested following the gruesome killing of Damaris Reyes Rivas, who was ordered murdered by top ranking members of the group in El Salvador who believe she was responsible for the death of her boyfriend.
Authorities said that 18 members in total are suspects in both murder cases, which took place in Fairfax County in early January, according to The Washington Post.
The person behind the filming, 17-year-old Jose Cerrato, was allegedly the mastermind behind the revenge hit on Damaris, who the FBI testified was more than willing to provide video evidence of his devotion to the group by filming the murder.
It remains unclear if the footage was ever sent back to leaders in El Salvador.
Damaris' demise was centered on Cerrato's belief that she was ultimately responsible for her boyfriend's killing, luring him into the hands of MS-13 gang members, supposedly upset over the claim the he was a leading member of the group.
The body of 21-year-old Christian Sosa Rivas was later found along the Potomac River in Dumfries.
FBI Special Agent Fernando Uribe on Monday described the gang's ruthless internal disciplinary tactics, testifying that 'If someone dies in a clique as a result of a fellow member, the person is killed in retaliation.'

The presiding judge at the Fairfax County juvenile court overseeing Cerrato's case said Monday that the youth would face murder, abduction and gang participation charges as an adult.
Uribe testified Cerrato was close friends with Sosa Rivas and schemed to get Damaris to admit on video that she played a part in luring Sosa Rivas to the location where he was attacked, according to the Post.
After drawing Damaris to a location in Lake Accotink Park, she was interrogated, beaten and made to strip in order to 'feel the cold that Christian did,' Uribe testified.
Uribe later said that the video footage taken by Cerrato shows 17-year-old Venus Romero Iraheta, who also had a sexual relationship with Sosa Rivas, attack Damaris, saying she would see her in hell before stabbing her in the chest 13 times with a knife, according to the Post.
Another MS-13 gang member than struck Damaris in the neck with a wooden stake.
