JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA — A Jacksonville man is now awaiting sentencing after murdering his wife with a metal pipe in May of 2021.
33-year-old Samijo Hemans was found guilty on September 16, 2025, of second-degree murder for the incident that unfolded at the Kings Crossing Apartments on Old Kings Road.
According to a police report, Hemans admitted to officers that he had hit Catherine, 33, in the head from behind around 45 minutes after she and their baby arrived at the apartment. Officials said they fought over the weapon after the initial hit, but she ultimately died after several more.
Hemans told investigators that they had not been in any sort of argument to provoke the attack, but that she had been performing “voodoo” on him for years.
