The victim was with her young daughter at the time.
During a heated row, the suspect, who presented himself as an online business expert, allegedly stabbed Renata to death.
The suspected femicide took place in Atizapán de Zaragoza near Mexico City, Mexico, last Saturday (4 Oct).
Life coach finance influencer Sandova is known online as El Wero Bisnero.
Following a report from concerned neighbours, the police arrived on the scene and found the victim’s lifeless body.
They also discovered a smashed sliding door, and the blood-stained footprints of an adult and a minor, possibly the victim’s daughter.
The suspect then went to the apartment he shares with his wife, named where they allegedly tried to burn the victim’s blood stained clothes in the oven.
Sandova then tried to flee the scene in his white pickup truck wearing only his underwear, according to reports, as reported by Need To Know.
But in a panic, the life coach crashed into the car park barrier and he had to flee on foot.
He was quickly apprehended by officers arriving on the scene.
During a hearing on Tuesday (7 Oct), the suspect was charged with femicide, a crime punishable with up to 70 years in prison.
The authorities ruled that he must be kept in custody until the trial.
His wife was also arrested for allegedly concealing evidence of the crime.
So far, the Public Prosecutor’s Office has not announced whether she will remain in custody ahead of the court case.

He also advised companies on real-time data processing and offered training courses.
He has over 62,000 followers across his platforms on TikTok, Facebook and Instagram.
The investigation continues.
