Thirty-one year old Derek Medina, of Miami posted the pictures of his wife's corpse shortly after 11 AM, Thursday, August 8th. Along with the pictures he also posted in a message to his friends, "Im going to prison or death sentence for killing my wife love you guys miss you guys takecare Facebook people you will see me in the news".
In an apparent attempt to provide a reason for his actions, Medina also wrote, "My wife was punching me and I am not going to stand anymore with the abuse so I did what I did I hope u understand me". All of this was followed with, "Rip Jennifer Alfonso", which was his wife's name.
The couple had a far from perfect marriage, Medina and his wife had divorced and remarried in the span of three months last year, after only being together for a couple of years. According to the neighbors, the murder came as a complete shock. None of the neighbors felt that Medina was a violent man, at most, they just saw him as being a little odd.
A neighbor of Medina's, 33-year-old Yoshi Dade, said Medina had approached him while he was working out at the apartment complex over a year ago. Dade said Medina told him he was part of the neighborhood watch and that he had a concealed weapons permit, claims that officials haven't been able to verify. "He would walk around here and kinda patrol the area. He was always telling me there was a lot of stuff going on around here," Dade said. While he thought the incident was strange, Dade only saw Medina a few times after that. Other neighbors only said that Medina was a very quiet person who would never say hello.
Medina was also a budding blogger and self published author. However, some of the titles of his books are a bit unusual to say the least. The title of one of his books is, "World Just Ask Yourself Why We Are Living a Life Full of Lies and How I an Emotional Writer Made All of My Professional Dreams Come True Blocking Society's Teachings", is one such example. Another of his books is, looking back, ironically titled, "How I Saved Someone's Life and Marriage and Family Problems Thru Communication". On his blog, Medina has a story on his blog about how he fought off a "demon ghost" that was trying to attack his wife. A story which surely must somehow tie into his book called, "Humans Who Are Gifted and Can See The Supernatural Spirit Ghost World We Live in Called Ghost Haunted Adventures".
Fortunately, Medina saved the police a manhunt. He turned himself in to police a few hours after he made the posts. Medina has been charged with first-degree murder and the judge has ordered him held without bond.
