In 2019, a man from Georgia was sentenced to life imprisonment for murdering someone he had met on a dating app.
Reports from WSB-TV, 11 Alive and fox 5 atlanta had it that Fabiola Thomas who at the time of her demise is said to be just only thirty-nine years old was discovered in June 2019 by her roommate in the bathtub of her Roswell, Georgia apartment. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution also says that Antonio Wilson, then thirty-eight years old, was arrested and charged with murder months later from Roswell Police according to the information from 11 Alive.
“This didn’t happen until June 8th when one of his friends called him screaming and shouting that she’s been found dead in the tub.”—reads an excerpt from FOX 5 Atlanta and shared by 11 Alive. She did not respond to their efforts to resuscitate her, and she was pronounced dead at the hospital.
Several months after her passing, a medical examiner declared such death as homicide. During their investigation it turned out that Thomas had actually met Wilson via fating up within short period before killing took place.
“All typical things you would do if you were going out with somebody,” Assistant District Attorney Abigail Potter told WSB-TV in an interview. “She told people where she was going. They would meet at public locations.”
Wilson wasn’t able to withstand rejection when Thomas decided against continuing their relationship; prosecutors said on WSB-TV. According to authorities, in a text message sent moments before her death Thomas asked Wilson to “stop claiming” her.
“Keep your ring, I’m not your woman, never was, stop claiming me because I never claimed u,” read a text quoted by WSB-TV from the prosecutors’ statement. On messaging platform they guys use as friends but senior assistant district attorney Nalda Charles noted that this happened on the day prior she died during which she “unfriended” Wilson.
This was done on October 25, 2019, the day after Thomas’ cause of death had been established as murder, according to FOX 5 Atlanta. He was found guilty by a jury of his peers following his trial that spanned for five years and lasted thirty minutes says WSB-TV.
WSB-TV reported from a fulton county court that on tuesday july 23rd he was sentenced by judge to life in prison without the possibility of parole for malice murder.
