Back in 1991 in Costa Mesa, California, Omaima Nelson, now 43, claims that although she killed, dismembered and cooked her husband, then ate his body parts, told a parole board: "I am not a monster."
Omaima Nelson, sought parole after 20 years behind bars, but the board rejected her request and she will remain in state prison on a term of 27 years to life for second-degree murder.
Nelson claims that back in 1991 in their Costa Mesa apartment, her husband, William, was trying to strangle her when she hit him with a lamp, stabbed him with scissors and killed him.
Nelson went on to say:
"If I didn't defend my life, I would have been dead. I'm sorry it happened, but I'm glad I lived," said the one-time model from Egypt. "I'm sorry I dismembered him."
Killing someone is one thing but going as far as dismembering, cooking and then EATING him shows this lady has issues.
Although this is not a "divorce-related" blog post, it does show that one cannot get away with murder. If she thought her life was in danger, she should of called the police. She could of also taken precautions to defend herself without killing, dismembering and cooking the victim.
From an Orange County divorce lawyer's perspective, if Nelson was not happy in her marriage to William, she could of sought an Orange County divorce or perhaps even applied for a domestic violence restraining order.
