Prosecutors have agreed to drop their case against Peter Mathes, who was accused of helping Genesis Silva conceal the murder of Silva's girlfriend, Brittany Battagalia, in return for Mathes' testimony against Silva, court records show.

Genesis Silva was to go on trial next week, accused of concealing the death of his girlfriend, who was repeatedly stabbed and nearly decapitated last summer. Her body was allegedly found stuffed in a duffle bag in Silva’s apartment after she was reported missing.
