Washington: A 31-year-old US man allegedly shot dead his wife and posted a confession and gruesome photos of her body on the social networking site Facebook before turning himself to police.
In a message that appeared on his Facebook account, Derek Medina of Miami admitted to the murder of his wife, 26-year-old Jennifer Alfonso. Medina uploaded a picture of his wife slumped on the floor of their kitchen with blood on her arm and face alongside the caption “RIP Jennifer Alfonso” on Thursday.
He went on to justify his actions by claiming that his wife had been punching him, The Miami New Times reports. “I’m going to prison or death sentence for killing my wife love you guys miss you guys take care Facebook people you will see me in the news. my wife was punching me and I am not going to stand anymore with the abuse so I did what I did I hope you understand me,” the Facebook post read.
Medina then turned himself in and said he had shot Alfonso during a domestic dispute, police said. Officers then went to the man’s South Miami home and found the woman’s body and a 10-year-old girl, who was not hurt, inside. (PTI)
