Buthcher/Cannibal Omaima Nelson Wants Out Of Prison

She once was a part-time model and a nanny in Egypt.

But not that many years later, Omaima Aree Nelson was being compared by a Costa Mesa police detective to real-life serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer and fictional cannibal Hannibal Lecter.

That's because sometime during Thanksgiving weekend 1991, when she was 24, Omaima bludgeoned her much-older newlywed husband to death, skinned his torso, cooked his decapitated head, fried his severed hands in cooking oil and placed his body parts in trash bags.

She was arrested by Costa Mesa police, convicted by an Orange County jury of second-degree murder in 1993 and sentenced to 27 years to life in state prison. She has been behind bars ever since.
[...]

She is scheduled for her second parole hearing next Wednesday at a women's prison in central California. She was rejected in her first bid for parole in 2006.

Slender with olive skin and doe-like eyes, Omaima was a part-time model when pilot William Nelson romanced and married her after just a few weeks in 1991.

Bill Nelson, who weighed 230 pounds and stood 6 feet 4 inches, brought her to live with him in Costa Mesa in 1991.

She was 24. He was 56.

Omaima Nelson later told psychiatrists and her attorney that she had been the victim of horrendous abuse as a child in Egypt when she was molested, beaten and forced to undergo a circumcision, a mutilation of the female genitalia.

She admitted that she went through a series of dysfunctional relationships with other men in the United States before she met Bill Nelson.

The couple married within days of the first meeting, she said, and honeymooned with Nelson's family in the southwest before returning to Nelson's apartment in Costa Mesa.

It didn't take long for the romance to sour, she claimed.

She told a story that her new husband raped and beat her several times, including once when she threatened to leave him. She said she felt isolated with no one to turn to when on Thanksgiving weekend in 1991 during a particularly brutal assault she fought back and killed him with a pair of scissors and an iron.

But Orange County Deputy District Attorney Randy Pawloski argued to the jury in 1993 that it was Omaima who was the predator. He contended that the exotic beauty established a pattern of seducing older men, tying them up during sex acts and robbing them.

Omaima, the prosecutor said, went after Bill Nelson for his money.

Pawloski argued to jurors that Omaima shackled her husband to a bed during a sex-play ruse sometime during Thanksgiving weekend in 1991, and then murdered him in cold blood with the scissors before she systematically dissected his body.

Neighbors said the garbage disposal inside the Costa Mesa apartment seemed to run continuously for the next two days. She was arrested the day after the bloody Thanksgiving weekend while driving Bill Nelson's red Corvette. She had been going from one ex-boyfriend's house to another, seeking their help in disposing of bags of body parts.

When the coroner's office weighed the accumulated body parts during the autopsy, 80 pounds of Bill Nelson was missing.

Even more troubling, according to Pawloski, was evidence that she told a psychiatrist that she dipped her husband's ribs in barbeque sauce and tasted them.
[...]

The Orange County District Attorney's office is opposing Nelson's parole application, contending among other things that she has not taken advantage of self-help programs in prison, has not admitted problems with drugs or alcohol and continues to pose a high risk of dangers to others if released.
[...]

"This was one of the most gruesome and notorious crimes ever committed in Orange County," he wrote to the parole board in September. "The victim ... was abused, defiled and mutilated during and after the offense. ... His murder was carried out ... in a manner which demonstrates an exceptionally callous disregard for human life."

Omaima Nelson, Pawloski warned the parole board, "is very crafty, criminally sophisticated and an enterprising individual. ... Make no mistake – she will tell you anything you wish to hear for her own personal gain.

"Inmate Nelson lacks total insight into her life-commitment offense and has no remorse," Pawloski added. "She should be kept in prison for the maximum denial period."

Omaima Aree Nelson, a former model who was convicted of killing her husband and eating his remains in the early 90s, is now seeking parole, say authorities.

Nelson, who immigrated to the United States from Egypt in 1986, was convicted of second-degree murder and received a sentence of 28 years for killing William E. Nelson,56, in their Costa Mesa apartment, reports CBS affiliate KYTX.

Prosecutors say Nelson killed her husband of less than a month, on Thanksgiving Day. She cooked his head and his hands. She then attempted to get some of her ex-boyfriends to help dispose of the rest of the body parts.

Nelson told authorities that she was under severe stress and her husband often physically and sexually abused her. She was found to have post-traumatic stress disorder in a psychological evaluation.

She will face a parole board in Chowchilla State Prison next Wednesday.

A former model convicted of killing her husband and cooking and eating his body parts wants to get out of prison early.

Omaima Aree Nelson is set to appear before a parole board in California next week in a longshot bid for an early release from her 27 years-to-life sentence, KTLA-TV reported.

It's her second time before the parole board.

Nelson was in her 20s when she moved to the U.S. in 1986 after working as a model and nanny in Egypt. She married 56-year-old William Nelson in October 1991, and the marriage lasted a month before she murdered him over Thanksgiving weekend.

"It was the most gruesome case I saw," Former Costa Mesa Police Sgt. Bob Phillips told the Los Angeles Times. "She did not seem like a person that was coherent."

During her trial, she claimed that she had been a victim of domestic violence and her husband had pushed her over the edge when he raped her the night before, the Times reported.

After murdering him, Nelson cooked her husband's head on the stove, skinned his torso and fried his hands in oil, the Daily Pilot reported.

At one point, she admitted to dipping his body in barbecue sauce - which she now denies remembering.

"Of course, she says that [she doesn't remember] because the parole board doesn't want to let a cannibal out," Senior Deputy District Attorney Randy Pawloski told the Pilot newspaper.

Cops say she put the rest of his body parts in several garbage bags and asked some ex-boyfriends to help her get rid of them.

Model Who Killed, Cooked And Ate Husband Denied Parole

CHOWCHILLA (CBS) — Parole was denied Wednesday for a Costa Mesa woman convicted in the gruesome of murder of her husband.

Omaima Nelson stabbed, dismembered and consumed bits of her husband, William Nelson, 18 years ago, according to Orange County prosecutors.

In the days preceding the murder and dismemberment back in 1991, home video depicts William and Omaima spending family time in the South, where Nelson’s relatives lived. It was a piece of evidence shown to the jury before the conviction.

CBS2 News obtained exclusive access to evidence used in the notorious trial — boxes of exhibits used in the proceedings.

The exhibits included disturbing autopsy photos, the iron investigators said Omaima used to bludgeon her husband to death, and video tapes of the scene minutes after her arrest.

Good, she needs to stay there. What if she were let out, got pissy & hungry once again, then wwhat?

But on a serious note. What she did was the most vile and bizarre shit ever. This wasn't a simple killing out of rage or being abused, what ever bs story she used. She dismembered this man, cooked him, and nibbled on his ribs. I have nibbled on my hubby's ear, but that doesn't mean I want to make him a meal. She is right where she needs to be.

Orange County Senior Deputy Dist. Atty. Randolph J. Pawloski said he will never forget the day in 1991 when he visited the Costa Mesa apartment Nelson shared with her new husband, William.

"There were suitcases and plastic bags soaked with dark liquid from his body parts. In the fry cooker there sat Mr. Nelson's hands, and when we opened the refrigerator there was Mr. Nelson's head with stab wounds," Palowski said. "She had his entrails in his Corvette, and she was trying to get an ex-boyfriend to yank out the dentures from the head so she could dump it in the [Newport Beach] Back Bay."

In court, a psychiatrist testified that Nelson put on red shoes, a red hat and red lipstick before spending hours chopping up her husband's body.

" 'I did his ribs just like in a restaurant,' " the psychiatrist quoted Nelson as saying.

Nelson revealed that she sat at the kitchen table with her husband's cooked remains and said out loud: " 'It's so sweet, it's so delicious.... I like mine tender,' " the doctor recalled.

On the witness stand, Nelson vividly described stabbing and beating her husband to death to stop him from attempting to rape her.

She said afterward she "freaked out," fell into a trance-like state, and spent 12 hours hacking up his body to simplify its disposal. She admitted carving and cooking her husband before mixing up his body parts with leftover Thanksgiving Day turkey in bags.

"It was the most gruesome case I saw," said former Costa Mesa Police Sgt. Bob Phillips, who was the lead detective on the case. "She was up for many, many days trying to complete this crime and it might have been sleep deprivation and general fatigue from dismembering a body."
