Bridgeport, CT: Cops: Man killed girlfriend with dumbbell

BRIDGEPORT -- A city man fatally bashed his girlfriend's head in with a 10-pound dumbbell because she wouldn't let him commit robberies that would allow him to buy crack cocaine, police said.

Wilson "Junne" Cash, 42, was arraigned Tuesday on one count of murder in connection with the Sept. 27 death of Christine Jeffreys.

Superior Court Judge Earl Richard ordered Cash, who was brought back Monday from Port Chester, N.Y., held in lieu of $1 million bond.

The 46-year-old Jeffreys was found lying face down on the floor of her bedroom in her Madison Avenue apartment. Police said there was blood splatter on the walls and ceiling and a bloody dumbbell was near the body.

According to the warrant affidavit of Detective Chris Borona, a witness later told detectives that on Sept. 27 he had run into Cash, who was looking for some bleach to wash some blood off his hands.

The witness said Cash told him he had just done something "bad," police related.

The affidavit continues that another witness told them that Cash and Jeffreys had been arguing all day because Cash wanted to do robberies so he could buy crack. The witness said Cash later exclaimed: "I'm going to kill that (expletive)! I'm going to bash her (expletive) head in," the affidavit states.

Cash was later arrested in Port Chester, N.Y.
