US wife who killed, cooked husband seeks parole

SANTA ANA, California (AP) — A woman who killed her newlywed husband and chopped and cooked his body parts over in 1991 is seeking release from a California prison.

Omaima Nelson, an Egyptian-born former model and nanny, is set to appear before parole commissioners Wednesday at the Central California Women's Facility in Chowchilla where she has been serving a life sentence.

Nelson was convicted of murdering her 56-year-old husband William Nelson in a grisly killing that authorities likened to the fictional slayings of Hannibal Lecter.

Prosecutors said the then-23-year-old killed Nelson and likely plotted to steal from him as she had done with other middle-aged men she had seduced in the past. Authorities said she tied up her husband of less than a month, killed him and dismembered the body, churning his parts through a garbage disposal that neighbors said ran nonstop in the hours after the murder.

Authorities found some of Nelson's body parts stuffed in garbage bags and mixed with leftover turkey. His hands had been fried in oil and his head boiled and stuffed in freezer, said Randy Pawloski, a senior deputy district attorney in Orange County who prosecuted the case and will argue against her release.

"She's tremendously dangerous," said Pawloski, adding that Nelson sought help from two different boyfriends to try to remove her husband's teeth and dispose of his remains to cover her tracks.

During the highly publicized trial, Nelson took the stand and said she stabbed her husband — a former pilot and convicted drug smuggler — with scissors while he sexually assaulted her. A psychiatrist testified that she confessed to cooking her husband's ribs barbecue-style and tasting them but later denied engaging in cannibalism. He said he believed she was psychotic when she killed Nelson.

Defense attorney Thomas Mooney argued his client was circumcised as a child growing up in a squalid section of Cairo, which made sex extremely painful, and was repeatedly raped and abused by her husband in the weeks after the couple wed.

Jurors found Nelson not guilty of first-degree murder, citing insufficient evidence of premeditation, but convicted her of second-degree murder. They also found Nelson guilty of assaulting a former boyfriend with a gun.

She is serving a prison sentence of 25 years to life.

Nelson appealed but lost in 1995. In 2006, she sought parole claiming she had found salvation as a born-again Christian and married an older man, who has since died. But parole was denied by commissioners who found her unpredictable and a serious threat to public safety.

Nelson told the parole board she had been living in the fast lane, hopping from man to man and drinking and using drugs. She told a prison-appointed psychologist that she had thought about killing Nelson before carrying out the murder.

"I felt that I was doing the right thing by exercising this judgment as I was killing him," she said during her 2006 parole hearing. "I'm not denying that I did what I did and I'm very sorry for the ... family..."

Terrence Scott, who represented Nelson on appeal, said he doubted she would be released except perhaps to a mental institution. He said she had chopped up her husband in an effort to avoid meeting him in the afterlife in accordance with Egyptian mythology.

Mooney, who represented Nelson during her trial, said prisoners serving life sentences aren't often released but hoped she might be.

"It was a question not of whodunit but what is it," Mooney said this week. "Based on the totality of the circumstances, the fact I think she was abused, and killed in response to that, she should get paroled."

She should get paroled 'coz she killed 'coz she was abused? Really? What's stopping her from killing again?!

What a bozo.

Yeah, that's what abused people do all the time.

That explains:

You know, a bullet to the head would have had the same result.

she pinched that from a short story!!! cool! I read that story years ago in a horror short story book and the woman kills and cooks her husbands and when the cops come over feeds it to them to dispose of evidence, course she never got caught... should of read it all lady... lol

[your sister]

man when I was 17 I found these forensics type magazines in an op shop of all places , anyways some of the stories in there are gut retching. One couple, adopted a girl from india (they were indian themselves) the guy was a doctor, anyways, sometime went passed and the neighbors could smell foul odors. Turns out, the girl was brought over from india to be resident slave for the family , cheap labor , anyways they got mad with her, killed her, cut her up, buried her in get this POT PLANTS AROUND THE HOME!! the rest of her was discovered by another doctor (a coworker with the doctor who murdered her), he found her in jars, the guy was slowly trying to dissolve her remains in jars. Anyways there was other horrible stories I can't remember but that one stuck in my head , the level of evil some people will go to.

^very gut wrenching (retching? Lol)

I wouldn't call the dismembering of body parts evil, that's more like a crazy way to try and destroy the evidence; most of the evil is in the killing itself. But it makes me really wonder about what is going through a person's mind when cutting someone up and, for goodness sake, frying a hand? SubhanAllah I still feel sick thinking about that.

It's like the person is in such a state of shock over having just killed someone that they'll do anything to get rid of the evidence, even if it means dismembering the corpse. But tasting the ribs man that is just.......I can't even think of a word to describe what it is, it needs a new word, disgusting/horrific/crazy/unbelievable none of those words cut it.

I remember reading a case study back in VCE about a couple of hitmen who would kill people, dismember their bodies then throw the parts into a log fire or something and sit there the whole night watching everything burn then take the ashes out somewhere (sometimes they'd give the ashes to the person who paid for the victim's murder). *shudder*

[your sister]

shurup you and spell check auto lol and im not gona even fix that (now you know how far I got into forensics). you wouldn't call dismembering a body evil ?

[At-Ta'if]

Reminds me of Snowtown...

[Ummi_Abdulmalik]

If she can chop up her hubby sexually assaulted or not she should stay in jail because obviously she'll do it again and may say oh i did it again this time because he assaulted me too

[Sister.]

you wouldn't call dismembering a body evil ?

no, not really, because killing another innocent human is something I consider evil but dismembering a body doesn't cause harm or pain to the person so it's not like the killer or whatever would be thinking "now I'll cut them up to inflict more pain muahaha" I'd assume they're more lkely thinking "crap, better get rid of the evidence what to do? What to do? I'll cut them up and burn/dissolve in jars/bury their parts"

not sure it that makes sense...basically what I mean is that the thought processes likely wouldn't be 'evil' when wanting to dismember person (unless it's to make the victims family suffer or something) but I would call it psychotic depending on the reason why someone would do it. Tasting a person's dead flesh is something I consider psychotic no matter what the reason (unless some other freak is coercing them to do it or th'll il them or something).

[Sister.]

or they'll kill them* (last sentence in brackets)

[ninja_sista]
