Six months after Deandrea Funchess’s mom was told that her daughter had died from an overdose, her boyfriend Mayzio Arnold was arrested and charged with murder. According to the report, Arnold allegedly beat Funchess “so severely, she was “internally decapitated.”
Page Six has details;
A statement from Cincinnati Police confirms Mayzio Arnold, 25, was arrested and charged with murder on Wednesday.
Investigators allege he caused the injuries that led to the death of 24-year-old Deandrea Funchess. She was found unresponsive on Feb. 15 in a Hartwell home.
According to court records obtained by WXIX, the alleged attack on Funchess, Arnold’s live-in girlfriend, was so intense, it caused the ligaments of her spinal column to be separated from the base of her skull — an injury known as atlanto-occipital dislocation.
It is alleged in the court filings that Arnold told authorities and Funchess’ family she had died from a drug overdose.
Still, the investigation into the death of Funchess, a nursing home worker, continued. Eventually, medical examiners determined the cause of her death was homicidal violence.
Arnold is being held on $750,000 bail. He has not entered a plea to the single charge against him, and it was unclear Friday who his attorney might be.
Bernadette Davis, Funchess’ mother, told WXIX she and Arnold had continued speaking after her daughter’s death. She had no idea he was a suspect until she learned of his arrest.
“It’s really a shocker right now to find out that he’s responsible for this,” Davis said, adding Arnold’s suggestion Funchess died of a drug overdose “never sat right with me.”
“From day one, it never made sense to me,” she added.
Never trust what the cops tell you. It is likely a lie and we have seen this time and time again. They will lie on police reports and in this case the manner of someone’s death. It is truly said and pathetic.
