Nigerian Immigrant and U.S. CitizenMicheal Shoots his Wife, A Nurse, 7 times, Outside Minnesota Nursing Home, Claims She Told Him Their Child Wasn’t His
Michael Collins Iheme, a Nigerian immigrant and U.S. citizen, born on September 22, 1957, and Anthonia Eberechi Iheme(age 28 at death), also Nigerian, married in 2003. It was Iheme’s third marriage. He later said he had been reluctant to marry Anthonia because of their age difference and his suspicion that she wanted U.S. permanent residency.
The couple had two children, a son born in 2005 and a daughter born in 2006. After they moved to the United States, Anthonia became a legal permanent resident in April 2006. They separated in August 2007, and Iheme filed for divorce the following month. At the time of the shooting, they were disputing custody of their children.
