Christian Obumseli’s death on April 3 at the couple’s Miami condominium was described by Fernandez Rundle as the climax of their “tempestuous and acrimonious relationship,” which began in November 2020.
Based on the findings of the autopsy, the county medical examiner concluded that Obumseli, a cryptocurrency trader, died as a result of a sharp object being shoved downward into his chest at a force sufficient to pierce a major artery.
Clenney allegedly admitted to killing Obumseli, but claimed self-defense when she was arrested.
She said that after being pushed and thrown to the ground by Obumseli, she retrieved a knife and hurled it at him from a distance of around 10 feet (3 metres). From that distance, a knife could not have harmed Obumseli, according to the medical examiner.
When arguing self-defense in court, Clenney’s attorney in Miami, Frank Prieto, argued the medical examiner’s opinions won’t hold up to scientific scrutiny. He admitted there was tension between Clenney and Obumseli, but he cast Obumseli as the principal aggressor.
Obumseli “was the abuser, the worst type of abuser,” Prieto said in a statement. When no one was looking, he would take advantage of Courtney emotionally and physically.

Obumseli and Clenney, according to Rundle, have been in a “very turbulent adversarial relationship” since November 2020.

According to Rundle, residents had called the building manager the day of the stabbing to report a commotion. Next, the manager dialled emergency services.
Clenney dialled 911 eleven minutes later to report that Obumseli had been stabbed and required medical attention, according to Rundle.
