New video shows a social media model being questioned by police shortly after she allegedly stabbed her boyfriend to death in their luxury Miami condo. The 4-hour interrogation video shows Courtney Clenney soaked in blood and visibly upset hours after the April 3 stabbing of boyfriend Christian Obumseli.
Watch NBC6 free wherever you are. In the video, obtained Wednesday through a records request with the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office, Clenney gives her version of what happened inside the couple's Edgewater high-rise unit. Clenney said she threw a knife at Obumseli as he attacked her, but prosecutors said evidence revealed a close contact stab wound, not a knife being thrown at the victim.
That would be insane. Anyway he comes at me and I just flung it," Clenney told detectives. In parts of the video, Clenney said she wants to go to the hospital to see Obumseli, unaware that he's died from the stab wound.
Oh my God," a shocked Clenney replies. Christian died? Clenney said she wants to hug her mom, and the detectives tell her they've contacted her parents, who are trying to get to Miami. Clenney then talks about what happened after the stabbing as they waited for rescue workers to respond.
Clenney, 26, was arrested and charged in August with second-degree murder in the killing of Obumseli, who was Miami-Dade prosecutors have said that Obumseli was the victim of domestic violence, but Clenney's attorneys have said she was the victim of an abusive relationship and that she stabbed him in self-defense. A video released by prosecutors showed Clenney attacking Obumseli in their building's elevator months before the stabbing.
