- Share via
A Costa Mesa woman accused of murdering and dismembering a man with whom she lived was charged Friday with imprisoning and attempting to rob another Orange County man. Omaima Aree Nelson, 23, also known as Omayma Aref Stainbrook, was arrested Dec. 2 in Costa Mesa and charged with the murder and dismemberment of William E. Nelson, 56. The new charges accuse Nelson of false imprisonment, attempted robbery and assault with a deadly weapon in connection with an incident in November, 1990, involving a man identified as Robert Hanson. Court documents did not list an age or address for Hanson or give any details of the incident. Nelson’s public defender, Thomas Mooney, said that Hanson lives in Huntington Beach and that Nelson lived with him for several months in 1990 and 1991.
