Obiamaka Aduba, 26, was allegedly strangled by her husband, Anthony Lopez, 31, who police believe wheeled her lifeless body down a Mariners Harbor street on a metal dolly on Friday.
He was allegedly seen rolling the body along 42 Post Lane on Staten Island at 7.10am, on Friday.
When Lopez was questioned by a plain clothed detective he abandoned the body.
The topless body of Aduba, was wrapped in a sheet and had bruising on her body, but it wasn't immediately clear if the marks had anything to do with her death. The city medical examiner will determine the cause of death.
The detective said he recognized Lopez because he had arrested him before. He has an extensive criminal history involving 52 previous arrests for drugs, grand larceny and criminal contempt.
His wife had been arrested 19 times.
Neighbors said they were familiar with the couple who they claimed had a tumultuous relationship. .
When arraigned in Richmond County Supreme Court on Sunday, Lopez pleaded not guilty to second degree murder.
Published reports say Lopez beat Aduba in the past and had her work as a prostitute. Her mother tried to help her, reports say, to no avail. Lopez was apprehended on Saturday, following a manhunt using helicopters and dogs. He had shaved his head to disguise his appearance.
*OMG!...Death via domestic Violence should stop!,,what is going on in the world today?
Another woman gone down...
ReplyDeleteMay she RIP
Sad. The guy is almost insane sef.
DeleteRIP to the lady.
Oh no! Not again. RIP.
DeleteBut when people marry abroad even for papers, they should carefully choose because it can make or destroy their lives. Someone I know married a naija girl now American citizen, just for papers, the girl has brought him into so much debt, 12 years after, no papers because she keeps giving wrong answers on purpose in court, all she knows is partying and hemp, dumping her child from her other boyfriend on him.
DeleteThis is what you get when you associate your self with a junkie!...
ReplyDeleteRIP!...
I just don't know why some ladies tend to love crazy pple bikonu?
DeleteWhen you end up with a crackhead .. Just because I need a man have a man in my life!!
DeleteSorry to say this, but the girl was probably a junkie herself. Only drug addiction can make one stay in such toxic environment.
DeleteMay she rip.
Yeah. But the said chick herself must have had some sort of issue to be associated with a junkie.
DeleteMen who smoke ordinary ciggie kinda put me off.
So why go near what u can't stand?
I wish she had walked away. Addiction to any substance ain't easy.but is totally beatable if one puts his or her mind to it. Her mom must be in pain right now. Kai.
Hope she is at peace now.
Hmmmmm.na God hand we de.
ReplyDeleteGod have mercy
DeleteLord please help us, RIP to her
ReplyDelete*Larry was here*
She has been arrested 19 times and the person she is with has bin arrested 52 times. Then her mum tried to help her but she refused. She is a hardened criminal herself. RIP
ReplyDeleteYou are 100& correct. Just what I pictured.
DeleteDo not judge so that you will not be judged. Judgment is of the Lord.
DeleteThe victim was also as messed up as her husband,...I won't call her case domestic violence
DeleteQueen haddash dere are some forms of domestic violence dt if u hear d full details u wld just b weak. It is on dis blog I saw a comment and sum1 said she gets turned on if her partner beats her b4 sex. This type of ladies purposely provoke deir spouses to beat dem so dt he wld beg dem and afterwards hv crazy makeup sex. What if d man now hits her in a wrong place and she dies, ppl wld say its domestic violence and d man used to beat her, and dey won't knw d dynamics dt work in dt home. Abeg men, if ur spouse pushes u to hit her,I take God beg u,leave her alone,divorce her or break up with her. B4 u carry gbese u can't pay....,
DeleteWhy on earth is domestic violence on the rise? This is becoming scary
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's on the rise, just more awareness and media coverage.
DeleteChai women can love foolishly.
ReplyDeleteSee how Aduba ended her life in this goat hands.
I know now that they will just give him 12 years but the woman is gone for ever.
Please lets speak up if you are in any domestic violence.
This case reminds me of the young lady that was killed by her American husband recently. The one whose father is kinda visually impaired and is seeking justice but has no means of going to the U.S. I wonder what's up with that case.
DeleteDem dey hear, dem no dey ever hear na, all his criminal records nd she was arrested 19times nd she still never left...death was sha calling her. RIP to her
ReplyDeleteAs in ehhh! The thing tire me.
DeleteIgbo girls can like to go and marry beasts abroad. Sotey she follow join dey do criminal acts cos of money.
ReplyDeletePlease take your stupidity away from here.
DeleteReally sad case. Obviously he had put her on drugs, which is like a remote control enabling him to control her. What can I say? Nigerian women should steer clear of A.A men. They are not worth the trouble. Also, it's likely she was raised the American way and didn't know any better. What a waste.
ReplyDeleteI don't support divorce before but now with all these hubby killing wife n wife killing hubby got 2 stop
ReplyDeleteIf you guys don't love each other anymore please part ways
And it's another one from the stable of domestic violence.
ReplyDeleteWalk the fuck away if you can't take the heat and this is to both parties. Nothing is a do or die affair.
Omg!!!
ReplyDeleteLooking at this man,is not obvious that he is a mental case? The type that can never respect a woman? Ladies please open your eyes ooo, look for the one that adores you with or without money.
ReplyDeleteMore cases still springing up, women leave if you can't bear it, ur life is important than that marriage ooo
ReplyDeleteAnoda sad DV story... *sad sigh*
ReplyDeleteRest in peace lady,Igbos see how your sister lost her life because she wan marry oyinbo.kikikikiki Yorubas are dirty but they don't have ant eye.

DeleteLol when a post is against d Igbo you people always remember to Preach!!! Kai Nigerians need love and Brain.
DeleteMiss E.
Fab Mum, I'll take you serious you reprimand James, Linda and their band of hopeless imps. Leave the anonymous alone.
DeleteAnon 09:45 onuku odeku, yhu made u a judge? Y involve tribe here? Okpo ngaji.
DeleteThis comment is wrong no doubt but yes, reprimand the usual suspects first. Don't notive it now just because this is against your tribe this time. If you can't eat it don't dish it or encourage it to be dished.
DeleteSunshine thank you. This tribalistic comment thing has bin on for a long time and always directed to the Yoruba's but dey never cautioned them. Sum1 has decided to gv it back and dey are now complaining. Pls caution James,queen of blog,fan Emmanuel and other tribalistic commenters from ur region on this blog then every1 wld respect them selves. Stella I can see ur new method is to simply cut out vile comments dt wld derail a post. Much much better. Also stop enabling tribalistic comments. U refused to post my insult to fan Emmanuel that said buhari's supporters wld hv no peace. Kontinu!!! Sha pls post dis comment, thank you.
DeleteShe had bn arrested 19 times,her hubby had bn arrested for criminal offense in the past.
ReplyDeleteTorh!they both have comma,they fit each other.
RIP darling but you obviously could smell death around you in that home and stayed on.Its heart breaking as I don't just understand how hard it is to run, run so fast that it don't matter if you gat clothes on your back.Run even with no destination in mind!!!!!
