Meet Valentina Grenader of New Berlin, Wisconsin.Ms. Grenader is currently charged with attempted first-degree intentional homicide, strangulation and suffocation, and substantial battery.
Ms. Grenader and her victim, her husband Mark Grenader, arrived together at the New Berlin Police Department, with Mr. Grenader demanding to press charges against her.
His beef?
"He said she initiated sexual contact, tying him to bed posts and blindfolding him. Then she put the plastic wrap over his mouth and nose, making it difficult for him to breathe. He began thrashing and tried to yell for help.Ms. Grenader says she wasn't trying to kill him, only trying to get him to shut up so that she could discuss her gambling problem with him after losing $800 in a casino. She went on to describe her victim as "a control freak". Mr. Grenader required several stitches to close his head wound.She told him she was going to kill him and then herself, the complaint says.
As he pleaded for his life, she hit him three or four times with a dumbbell in the head..."
What I'd like to know:
1) How did the couple get from the house to the police station? What did they talk about in the car on the way over? Who drove?
2) What conditions of bond did the judge order, other than to "not possess weapons, including dumbbells"?
3) How long have they lived in Wisconsin? Because this is a pretty lame-ass attempt at necrophilia if you ask me, and I would expect better from a native or long-time resident.
