It was an expected sentence and it was announced on Tuesday in a Florida court. Wade Wilsonnicknamed the ‘handsome killer’ and the ‘Deadpool Killer’, 30, has been sentenced to death penalty for having murdered two women in 2019, Kristine Melton, 35 years old, and Diane Ruiz43, on the same day and in a very short period of time.
On October 7, 2019, at a bar in Cape Coral, Florida, Wade Wilson, then 25, met Kristine Melton and a friend of hers. They had a drink, liked each other, and decided to stay the night at Melton’s house. After spending some time together, Kristine’s friend decided to leave the house so that the hostess could continue the evening with Wade. Everything was going according to plan inside the house, but at one point when Kristine went to bed to sleep,Wade Wilson strangled her to death while she was sleeping.
He stole her car to go to his ex-girlfriend’s house in a fit of rage, while he was driving the vehicle he crossed paths with her Diane Ruizwho was walking down the street, stopped to ask her if there was a school nearby and invited her to get in his car. When Diane was reluctant, Wade got out, attacked her, beat her, and strangled her before pushing her out of the vehicle to run over her between 10 and 20 times to make sure he was dead because he had seen that he was still breathing. His body was not found until three days later in an abandoned field.
Wade Wilson called his father to tell him all the details of these two deaths: “I am a murderer,” He told him. He did not hesitate and called the police to tell them what had happened. The police finally arrested him on October 8, 2019 when Wilson told his father where he was and to send a taxi to pick him up.
“It has not gone unnoticed that this defendant is idolized by some people who take pride in holding fundraisers for him and holding him up as some sort of positive representation of a man, not knowing that he is nothing more than a cruel killer and the worst portrait of a person that should ever have existed,” prosecutors alleged during the trial.
This Tuesday a Florida court read the charges for which he was tried two death sentences for the murders. These include first-degree murder and burglary. His defense tried to downplay the offense by claiming he was under the influence of drugs and alcohol.
