A shocking case has emerged in Nevada, where Anthony Newton, a 45-year-old ex-convict, is accused of killing his wife’s lover, Ulisys “Cesar” Molina, in a brutal act of revenge.
The incident happened after Newton discovered that Molina had an affair with his wife, Jami Malaperdas, while Newton was in prison. The affair resulted in Jami becoming pregnant, which reportedly led Newton to plan the attack.
What Happened?
Newton, along with his brother-in-law and another woman, allegedly lured Molina to an apartment. There, they strangled and decapitated him, even cutting off his hands.
Molina’s mutilated body was later found burned and dumped in a vacant lot near Las Vegas in 2017. His severed hands were missing. Shockingly, one of his hands was discovered two years later by a child playing near a mailbox.
Why Did This Happen?
While Newton was in prison in 2015, his wife began an affair with Molina, which resulted in her pregnancy. She later had an abortion. When Newton learned about the affair, he became enraged, leading to this horrific act of violence.
Legal Action
Newton’s first trial ended in a mistrial. Now, he faces a retrial, where prosecutors are seeking the death penalty. The trial is expected to last three weeks.
Community Shock
The gruesome nature of the crime, especially the discovery of the severed hand by a child, has deeply shocked the local community.
This case highlights the devastating consequences of violence and the ripple effects it can have on families and neighborhoods. As the trial moves forward, it continues to draw national attention.
