Victor Oquendo: Essex woman to marry US killer she met via penpal scheme
A WOMAN from Essex is set to marry a US killer who shot two men after meeting via a prison penpal scheme. Naomi Wise had been training as a counsellor before Covid hit last year, forcing her to find other means to improve her skills. The 26-year-old woman from Chelmsford joined the scheme which connects people with prison inmates that want pen pals where she met Victor Oquendo in June last year. The 30-year-old, known as "Animal" is serving a 24-year sentence after being convicted for shooting two people in a gangland hit. He also took part in three armed robberies.
