Derek Medina, the now infamous Facebook wife killer, brutally murdered his wife Jennifer Alfonso and then posted the photos of her dead body on Facebook. Medina, 31, reportedly fatally shot his wife in their home while their 10-year-old daughter was upstairs, he then surrendered to Miami-Dade police.

But before surrendering to police, Medina took to Facebook and created a shocking post. In the post, Medina claims that his wife, 26, was beating him thus he murdered her, he then revels that he has accepted his fate in prison, and says goodbye to the social media world.

"I'm going to prison or death sentence for killing my wife love you guys miss you guys take care Facebook people you will see me in the news," Medina wrote on his now deleted Facebook profile. He also added, "My wife was punching me and I am not going to stand anymore with the abuse so I did what I did I hope u understand me."

The photo of his wife's dead body was also posted to the profile. The grisly photo shows a young woman slumped over, her knees are bent awkwardly with her cheek and arm bloodied. Medina was in custody, and charges were pending, police said.

Even more shocking than the slaying of Alfonso and the Facebook posts that followed, is the discovery that Medina was an author of multiple self-help books. Medina published several e-books citing his ability to guide and save people's lives, he also maintained a website at EmotionalWriter.com.

"I gave 6 months of working on 6 books of guidance and self-help to saving people's lives and relating to problems we must overcome as one world one nation one country 'give me the opportunity to touch your spirit' give me a chance to change your world or make you understand the world we live in 'these 6 books will change your world in seconds, days, months, years," Medina wrote on his site.

The books, which have bizarrely long rambling titles, tell readers of Medina's trials and tribulations, and then provide them the guidance to overcome their own struggles.

  • How I Saved Someone's Life and Marriage and Family Problems Thru Communication
  • Humans Who Are Gifted and Can See the Supernatural Spirit Ghost World We Live in Called Ghost Haunted Adventures
  • How a Judgmental and Selfish Attitude Is Destroying the World We Live in Because the World Is Vanishing Beneath Our Eyes
  • Attention World Save Yourself
  • World Just Ask Yourself Why We Are Living a Life Full of Lies and How I an Emotional Writer Made All of My Professional Dreams Come True Blocking Society's Teachings
  • If the World Ended Today How Would You React to Saving the World or Helping the World or Would It All Be Over for You

The topics of the self-help books are quite erratic, varying between help with living a full life, changing your attitude and of course understanding your interactions with ghosts and other supernatural elements. A summary of his e-book "Humans Who Are Gifted and Can See the Supernatural Spirit Ghost World We Live in Called Ghost Haunted Adventures" reads, "The author can relate to the world of victims who have been attacked by evil spirits."

While the titles and subjects of his books are odd, his most startling is "How I Saved Someone's Life and Marriage and Family Problems Thru Communication." It seems that for Medina had been experiencing martial difficulties with his young wife, but instead of heeding his own advice and working through the problems with communication, he decided to murder his wife.

Medina and Alfonso were married for a second time in April 2012, reports said. However, Medina's father, Derek Medina Sr. admitted the couple had experienced a tumultuous relationship. "They were married for three years, and then they got divorced, and they got remarried last year," Medina Sr. said. "They always had some problems."
