Model's horrifying statement after killing, castrating and cooking her husband
A California model, Omaiama Nelson, tied the knot with Bill Nelson, a pilot 33 years her senior, just three days after they met.
However, Omaiama Nelson, who had emigrated from Egypt to the US and worked as a nanny and model, described their union as far from blissful.
She accused her husband of revealing his violent streak almost immediately after their marriage and alleged that he regularly subjected her to physical and sexual abuse.
Driven to extreme traumatic distress by her husband's behaviour, Omaiama Nelson committed an appallingly savage murder. She gruesomely castrated Bill, clubbed him to death with a clothes iron, fried his hands, and consumed one of his fingers, later saying "I'm glad I lived".
Omaiama made her way from Egypt to the States five years prior to the chilling events that would culminate in Bill's grisly demise and result in her incarceration for his murder. After settling in California in pursuit of work as a nanny and model, she encountered Bill in a bar where they were playing pool in 1991, reports the Mirror US.
The abuse reportedly commenced soon after they exchanged vows, a claim supported when a psychological evaluation disclosed that Omaiama was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The conflict peaked on Thanksgiving Day in 1991 when Bill purportedly sexually assaulted his wife, prompting her to retaliate.
Omaiama Nelson alleged that her husband sexually assaulted her while she was bound during a bondage session. She informed the police that she managed to break free from her restraints, struck him with a lamp, stabbed him with scissors and bludgeoned him to death with a clothes iron.
He succumbed to his stab wounds.
During the assault, the former Egyptian model was dressed in a red dress, a red hat and red boots, according to investigators. However, this was merely the start of Bill's horrific end.
After Bill's demise, Omaiama Nelson embarked on the grisly task of dismembering her husband. It is believed that she castrated him as retaliation 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 mixture into the waste disposal.
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 spending time with family in the Southern US - this footage was presented as evidence to the jury before Omaima's parole was denied in 2011 by Orange County prosecutors.
Following the murder, Omaima Nelson was spotted driving her husband's red Corvette, which CBS2 reported contained black rubbish bags on the front seat with body parts inside. A video captured just after police arrived at the scene shows an investigator shocked to discover organs in one of the bags.
The trail of evidence led detectives to a gruesome scene at the couple's flat, where it is said that Omaima Nelson had bound her husband to the bed and dismembered him.
Two crucial pieces of evidence in the investigation were a wooden knife and a cleaver. Neighbours reported to the police hearing the waste disposal unit running non-stop for two days.
Additional body parts were discovered in a brown suitcase and in the freezer.
During her trial for the murder of her husband, Omaiama Nelson told the court: "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 confessed to a psychiatrist that she seasoned his ribs with barbecue sauce and tasted them, although she has since retracted these claims.
She was unable to persuade the jury that she was a victim of her husband's abuse, despite a previous psychiatric evaluation and a complaint she made to a nurse in the Orange County Jail. The note stated: "I am ready to lose it and go off on someone. Anyone. I can't sleep at night. I am extremely depressed."

Nicola Sturgeon: Rapist Isla Bryson is ‘biological male'
But she claimed that when the case first emerged, she failed to say so plainly because the debate over sex and gender identity in Scotland had become so 'toxic' that 'all sense of rationality' had been lost. READ MORE 'Fenian B******': Nicola Sturgeon tells of sectarian abuse campaigning in Govan Nicola Sturgeon reveals what she thinks of the nickname that 'stuck' Nicola Sturgeon: I still miss Alex Salmond in some way While Frankly is due for official release on Thursday copies have already appeared for sale in Waterstones stores. The retailer said they had not been told by the publisher to not sell the book. A statement from Waterstones said: 'The publication date does not necessarily equal an on-sale date unless the publisher puts an embargo in place. In the case of Nicola Sturgeon's memoir no sales embargo has been arranged, which means the book can go on sale as soon as it arrives in shops.' In the book, Ms Sturgeon admits her handling of the Isla Bryson case marked a point where her 'acknowledged communication skills deserted' her, saying: 'I lost the dressing room.' Isla Bryon appearing at Glasgow High Court Bryson was found guilty of raping one woman in Clydebank in 2016 and another in Glasgow in 2019 at the High Court in Glasgow in 2023. He began identifying as a woman only after being charged, and has not legally changed gender, although they are taking hormones and requesting surgery. Despite the Scottish Court Service expecting Bryson to be transferred to Barlinnie, the Scottish Prison Service (SPS) moved him to the women's jail at Cornton Vale instead. After a public outcry, Ms Sturgeon made her opposition known to the SPS, which moved Bryson to HMP Edinburgh. The case came just weeks after MSPs passed the controversial Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill at Holyrood. Even though the Bill never became law, the SPS adopted its central premise, allowing people to self-identify as a new gender. Ms Sturgeon was asked for days whether she thought Bryson was a woman but avoided saying so. In a press conference in January 2023, she told journalists: 'She regards herself as a woman.' Asked about the comment, she said: 'What I'm saying is, Isla Bryson calls herself a woman. But what I'm trying to say is, in the context of the prison service, that is not the relevant factor here. The relevant factor is the crime that the individual has committed and has been convicted of.' Pressed again, Ms Sturgeon said: 'She regards herself as a woman. I regard the individual as a rapist.' READ MORE In the interview, broadcast on Monday night, Ms Sturgeon told ITV's Julie Etchingham: 'Isla Bryson identified as a woman. I think what I would say now is anybody who commits the most heinous male crime against women probably forfeits the right to be the gender of their choice.' She added: 'That probably was not the best phrase to use.' Pressed on why she did not simply say Bryson is a biological male, Ms Sturgeon replied: 'They are a biological male. But that's about whether… it gets back into the self-ID thing. "I should have been much more straightforward, I wasn't. But that's because of the debate. We'd lost all sense of rationality in this debate. I'm partly responsible for that.' Sturgeon in Parliament 'That was my failure,' she told ITV. 'Anything I say about in the wider world will immediately be taken and transferred to every trans person. "And if I sometimes still seem as if I'm struggling with how to define Isla Bryson, it's not out of any concern for Isla Bryson, it's out of concern for how that then affects the wider trans community and that is difficult.' Asked about the Gender Recognition Reform Bill and why it mattered so much to her, Ms Sturgeon said that when the legislation was first mooted 'it was not the divisive, toxic, controversial issue it became'. 'Trans people have always existed,' she added. 'They are amongst the most discriminated against and stigmatised groups in our society, and people can chuck as much hate and hostility at me on this issue as they choose.' Asked if she thought the debate and the botched legislation had made things worse for the lives of transgender people in Scotland, Ms Sturgeon said: 'No trans person has ever come to me and said, I really wish you hadn't tried to make life better. 'We really regret how it's all unfolded. 'I didn't, I think, anticipate as much as I should or engage as much as I should on some of the concerns that might then be triggered. 'At the point I knew it was becoming as polarised, I should have… I think I say in the book I wonder if I should have… I want to say it categorically — I should have said, 'Let's pause. Let's take a step back.' 'I fervently believe that the rights of women and the interests of trans people are not irreconcilable at all.' Scottish Conservative leader Russell Findlay accused Ms Sturgeon of 'delusional' thinking and said women would not 'swallow this drivel'. He claimed she had 'ignored all warnings that gender self-ID would be a gift to male predators like Isla Bryson' and 'ordered her SNP MSPs to vote down my attempts to block rapists and other sex criminals from being able to legally change their gender by self-declaration'. 'Her absurd ideological belief in self-ID collapses with her belated mealy-mouthed admission that this rapist is a man, but she still can't bring herself to say sorry for all the pain and misery she has caused,' he said. Mr Findlay argued that without then-Scottish secretary Alister Jack's 'common-sense decision' to block the reforms, 'every rapist in Scotland would be able to declare themselves as women with the full support of the state'. In the interview, Ms Sturgeon also spoke of being hit by a 'wave of grief' when she learned of Alex Salmond's sudden death last year, despite their acrimonious split over sexual misconduct allegations. The Alba Party leader and former first minister died of a heart attack in North Macedonia in October aged 69. Sturgeon said she still misses Salmond (Image: free) 'Even today I still miss him in some way, the person that I used to know and the relationship we used to have,' Ms Sturgeon said. 'I thought I had made my peace with it… And then I got a call to tell me that Alex Salmond had died. I started crying on the phone and I just was hit by this wave of grief. 'It was complicated because obviously we weren't just no longer friends, we were political enemies. There was no prospect I was going to be able to go to his funeral or anything like that.' She said she later found herself talking to Mr Salmond 'in my head' and dreaming they were 'still on good terms'. Ms Sturgeon also became emotional when talking about leading the Scottish Government through the Covid pandemic. She said she "just lost all perspective" and "started to believe... all the worst caricatures of myself that my political opponents would throw at me" and that she was "responsible for every death." A friend persuaded her to seek therapy. She also revealed she has had her first tattoo, which she jokingly called a 'midlife crisis alert'. The design — an infinity symbol with an arrow — stands for 'strength, resilience and continuing to move forward, even when it feels impossible'. She hinted it 'might not be my last one'. When asked about her personal life and if she could now start a relationship with a woman, after coming out as someone who has never considered her own sexuality to be 'binary,' Ms Sturgeon said: "Look, I'm just out of a marriage, so I'm not rushing into a relationship with anyone anytime soon. I'm enjoying being my own person for once."

Tulisa claims a police officer mimed oral sex gestures at her when she was on trial for drug sting: 'It felt like I was up there for everyone's entertainment'
Tulisa Contostavlos has claimed a police officer made obscene gestures towards her while she was on trial for a drugs sting. In 2013, the singer was charged with being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs, with her trial being held the following year at Southwark Crown Court. Detailing the ordeal in her upcoming book, Judgement, she penned: she 'felt like an animal in a cage, for everyone's entertainment.' Reflecting on the time in a chat with Cosmopolitan, the magazine noted: 'A police officer even mouthed b***job signals at her, while she sat in the dock.' The impact of the trial also left Tulisa with PTSD, with the singer noting that if she had to go through all the coverage of her trial she would 'have a nervous breakdown.' She explained: 'There was, an actual, very serious [suicide] attempt. There was also this moment of real depression where I was driving in my car, hysterically crying, and there was so much trauma that I had an out of body experience. 'It was like my brain was going so nuts that I had to physically detach the two.' A Met Police spokesperson told Daily Mail: 'We are unaware of this allegation from 2016, which has not been reported to us. 'We would encourage the complainant to make a report so we can investigate.' Following the trial, Tulisa spent more than a decade out of the public eye after it was ruled the infamous Fake Sheikh had trapped her in the drug sting. Mazher Mahmood, also known as the Fake Sheik, a former journalist for the Sun on Sunday was jailed for 15 months for perverting the course of justice after he tricked Tulisa into buying cocaine for him while he posed as a film producer. Since she stood on the steps of Southwark Crown Court in 2014 vindicated and condemned the 'horrific entrapment' from Mahmood, Tulisa has remained largely out of the spotlight, save an N-Dubz tour in 2022. She made her career comeback last year with a stint on I'm A Celebrity, in which she opened up about the lasting impact of the trial. Tulisa explained: 'I lost all my endorsements… my life fell apart.' Ahead of appearing in the Jungle, she said: 'There's nothing worse in that jungle than what happened in 2013.' She said: 'Every time I think, you know, this is going to be hard, I think I've done it, I can do it. 'And then I just got to the point, well, going on television again is the most uncomfortable situation I could possibly put myself in. 'And I feel like I've been on this kind of healing cycle for the past 11 years, really, since all the crap, since X Factor, since the trial. 'And this, for me, would complete the cycle, because it's the last thing on the list is this overwhelming fear that I have or have had. I'm not feeling it today, but overall, of this fear of being on especially TV.' The case was brought against Mahmood after Tulisa was accused of arranging for him to be sold £800 of cocaine by one of her contacts following an elaborate sting for the Sun on Sunday newspaper in May 2013. The trial had heard that 'King of the Sting' Mahmood and his driver, Alan Smith conspired to suppress evidence in the N-Dubz star's trial, which was thrown out at Southwark Crown Court in July 2014. During a meeting at the Metropolitan Hotel in London, Mahmood posed as a film producer and plied the popstar with alcohol as they discussed an acting role alongside Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio. As Smith drove the former X Factor judge home to Hertfordshire, she allegedly spoke about a family member who had a drug problem. When he was interviewed by police about the journey more than a year later, Smith, of Dereham, Norfolk, recalled the conversation. But a day later, after speaking to Mahmood and emailing his draft statement, the singer's anti-drugs comments were removed, the court heard. At a pre-trial hearing, Mahmood denied being an 'agent provocateur' or that he discussed the drugs conversation with Smith. But when he was questioned at length in the trial, Mahmood appeared to concede he had talked to Smith about what Miss Contostavlos said about drugs in the car. The case was subsequently thrown out. The following 10 years were 'hell' for Tulisa who had an entire future ahead of her ruined by the sting. Speaking about the ordeal, the I Need You singer said: 'Honestly, I can't tell you. 'Sure, at times it's been horrific for me at moments in the past 10 years, but that's just not the perspective that I have now. I take it all as knowledge.' 'Knowledge Is power and ultimately a blessing because I wouldn't be where I am without it, I wouldn't change a thing. 'I don't think I would have been able to do this unless I was feeling in such a strong content place. So it could only have been now. It couldn't have been before.'

Nicola Sturgeon claims Isla Bryson 'forfeits the right to be the gender of their choice'
The former SNP leader has waded back into one of the most controversial episodes of her political career. Nicola Sturgeon has claimed trans rapist Isla Bryson has forfeited the right "to be the gender of their choice" because of their "heinous" crimes. The former SNP leader waded back into one of the most controversial episodes of her political career during a high-profile interview with ITV News, which will be broadcast tonight. Sturgeon has previously refused to refer to Bryson - previously known as Adam Graham - as a man when challenged on the predator's sex crimes. Self-identification was at the heart of the Gender Recognition Reform (GRR) Bill, which Sturgeon championed before it was blocked from becoming law by the UK Government in 2023. Bryson was jailed in February 2023 after being convicted of raping two women while living as a man named Adam. The rapist was sent to a women's jail after identifying as female - prompting a huge uproar from opposition parties and womens' rights campaigners. They were later moved to a men's wing at HMP Edinburgh. The row was one of the last acts of Sturgeon's premiership before she announced her intention to resign as first minister, prompting a bitter SNP leadership battle to replace her. Speaking with ITV News presenter Julie Etchingham, Sturgeon admitted she should have been "been much more straightforward" on the matter. Etchingham said: "You became unstuck over the questions about the transgender prisoner, the rapist, Isla Bryson. Why couldn't you answer that question?" Sturgeon responded: "Isla Bryson identified as a woman. I think what I would say now is anybody who commits the most heinous male crime against women probably forfeits the right to be the gender of their choice." She added: "That probably was not the best phrase to use…" Pressed by Etchingham on why she doesn't simply say Isla Bryson is a biological male: Sturgeon added: "They are a biological male but that's about whether…. it gets back into the self-ID thing. I should have been much more straightforward, I wasn't, but that's because of the debate. We'd lost all sense of rationality in this debate. I'm partly responsible for that." A Scottish Labour spokesman said: 'Scottish Labour has always been clear that sexual predators and people with a history of being a danger to women should never be allowed into female prisons. "It should not have taken so long for Nicola Sturgeon and SNP ministers to realise that.' Russell Findlay, Scottish Conservatives leader, said: "Frankly, Nicola Sturgeon must be delusional if she thinks the women of Scotland will swallow this drivel. "She arrogantly ignored all warnings that gender self-ID would be a gift to male predators like Isla Bryson. And she ordered her SNP MSPs to vote down my attempts to block rapists and other sex criminals from being able to legally change their gender by self-declaration. "Her absurd ideological belief in self-ID collapses with her belated mealy-mouthed admission that this rapist is a man, but she still can't bring herself to say sorry for all the pain and misery she has caused. "Let's not forget that if it was not for Alister Jack's common-sense decision to block Sturgeon's dangerous law, every rapist in Scotland would be able to declare themselves as women with the full support of the state." The GRR Bill would have allowed Scots to change their legal gender by simply signing a statutory declaration, dropping the requirement for a formal medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria. Alister Jack, the then Scotland Secretary, made an order under the Scotland Act to prevent the legislation getting royal assent – the first time this power had been used. He argued the legislation undermined UK-wide protections for women, including the sanctity of female-only safe spaces. The Scottish Government later lost a legal challenge to the ruling.
