Ex model who cooked husband seeks parole
COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA (BDCi) – A former model convicted of killing her husband, then cooking his body parts and eating his remains, wants to get out of prison early.
Omaima Aree Nelson is seeking early release from her 27-years-to-life sentence for murdering William E. Nelson, 56, over Thanksgiving weekend in 1991.
Nelson is scheduled to appear at a parole board hearing next Wednesday in Chowchilla State Prison in Central California.
Her first bid at parole was rejected in 2006.
Nelson, who worked as a parttime model and nanny in Egypt, immigrated to the U.S in 1986.
She was in her 20’s when she killed her husband and then dismembered and cooked parts of his body in their Costa Mesa apartment.
The couple had been married for about a month.
