Model wife castrated and cooked her husband before 'taking a bite with BBQ sauce'
A model from California thought she had found her prince charming in Bill Nelson, and after a whirlwind romance, they tied the knot within three days.
However, Omaiama Nelson's fairytale quickly turned dark as she recounted a marriage marred by violence shortly after exchanging vows.
Omaiama, who had migrated from Egypt to the States, portrayed Bill as a man who swiftly revealed his abusive nature, alleging routine physical and sexual mistreatment.
Reaching her breaking point, Omaiama Nelson committed an act of shocking brutality. She mutilated Bill, battered him to death with an iron, fried his hands, and consumed one of his fried fingers whilst declaring "I'm glad I lived".
The Egyptian-born model made her way to California half a decade before these chilling events unfolded, earning her living as a nanny and chasing her modelling dreams. Crossing paths with Bill while playing pool at a bar in 1991, she entered into a relationship with the much older pilot, reports the Mirror US.
Her ordeal began just days into the marriage, a tale corroborated by psychological assessments that later diagnosed her with PTSD. On Thanksgiving in 1991, after another alleged assault by Bill, Omaiama fought back with deadly force.
Omaiama Nelson alleged that her husband had sexually assaulted her during a bondage session, where she was tied to the bed. She informed the police that she managed to escape her bindings and attacked him with a lamp, stabbed him with scissors, and bludgeoned him to death with a clothes iron.
His cause of death was stab wounds.
During this horrific assault, the former Egyptian model was clad in a red dress, red hat, and red boots, according to investigators. However, this was merely the start of Bill's horrifying end.
After Bill's demise, Omaiama Nelson embarked on the macabre task of dismembering her spouse. It is believed she castrated him as retribution for her allegations of sexual assault.
The murderer cooked her husband's head and boiled his hands in a desperate bid to erase his fingerprints. She then combined his body parts with leftover turkey from their Thanksgiving dinner and discarded this into the waste disposal unit.
The entire gruesome act took 12 hours, with Omaiama Nelson claiming she was in a 'trance-like state'.
Just days prior, a home video showed the couple enjoying family time in the Southern US with relatives - this footage was presented to the jury before Omaima's parole was rejected in 2011 by Orange County prosecutors.
After the gruesome killing, Omaima Nelson was spotted behind the wheel of her husband's red Corvette, which was discovered with black bin bags on the front seat packed with dismembered body parts, CBS2 reported. A chilling video captured just after the police arrived reveals an officer shocked at uncovering organs in one of the bags.
The trail of evidence led detectives to an appalling scene at the couple's flat, where it was believed Omaima Nelson had restrained her husband on the bed and butchered him.
Two major pieces of proof in the case were a wooden knife and a butcher's cleaver. Neighbours had reported to the police that the sound of the waste disposal unit ran incessantly for two whole days.
More human remains were later found stashed in a brown suitcase and the freezer.
At her trial for the murder of her spouse, Omaiama Nelson confessed to the courtroom: "If I didn't defend my life, I would have been dead. I'm sorry it happened, but I'm glad I lived... I'm sorry I dismembered him."
Omaima revealed to a psychiatrist that she had seasoned his ribs with barbecue sauce and sampled them, though she has refuted these claims ever since.
Her attempt to persuade the jury that she had been the victim of her husband's abuse was unsuccessful, despite a pre-existing psychiatric evaluation and a complaint she lodged with a nurse at the Orange County Jail. The note she wrote highlighted her distress: "I am ready to lose it and go off on someone. Anyone. I can't sleep at night. I am extremely depressed."
