Ex from hell hid in wife's apartment, murdered her then did the unthinkable with her corpse
UK Daily Mail ^ | 11/24/2025 | Alex Cimino

A twisted husband hid in his ex-partner's apartment before murdering her in cold blood, burying her body, then digging it up one last time to rape her corpse.

Zarbab Ali, 28, from Hawthorne, Los Angeles, was found guilty of the murder of his estranged wife, Rachel Castillo, 25, who was the mother of their two young sons.

Ali had previously pleaded guilty to the felony charge of defilement of human remains after admitting his rabid jealousy caused him to kill Castillo.

The horrific brutality occurred on November 10, 2022. Ali picked up his sons from Castillo's Simi Valley apartment earlier that day.

He returned that night armed with a kitchen knife he bought days prior, and lay in wait.

Ali confessed to attacking Castillo as she left her bedroom, stabbing her three times.

While he initially tried to minimize the violence, he later admitted the murder was much more gruesome than he let on: 'In reality, she put up a fight. I was a brute. I pushed her down, and it was gory beyond belief.'

Castillo's family reported her missing that same day, shortly after her sister arrived at their Simi Valley apartment and discovered a large amount of blood.

Following the murder, Ali wrapped Rachel's body in a blanket, cleaned the scene, and drove to a remote desert area in Antelope Valley, where he buried her in a shallow grave.

Ali's testimony on November 17, 2024, revealed the full extent of the atrocity.

He admitted to returning the next day, digging up the body, and raping her dead corpse.

He told detectives: 'Just to confirm that I am a monster, I raped her.' He added, chillingly, 'If I didn't commit to being a monster, then she would have died for no reason.'

Not if it's in your neighborhood, and the noise at sunrise is the most offensive. It must be quieted so people can sleep.

It was a necrophilic honor killing.

Who are we to impose our culture onto him?

She was 25, with two kids with him then divorced. She must have been young when they married.

She found a boyfriend and the boyfriend is lucky he wasn’t around at the time of her ex-husband was hiding to kill her. Just another reason why it is risky to date a women with kids even for a fling.

So, if it’s necrophilia, does it increase one’s “body” count?

Asking for a friend.

He also said that women have the right to have sex with her dead husband, alarabiya.net reported.

I don't think rigor mortis applies to the sort of 'stiffy' that wife might be hoping for.

But if she's willing to wait a few years she might get a bone.

Women are told, but they will not listen.

Zarbab Ali ...

Zarbab occurs mostly in Asia, where 100 percent of Zarbab reside; 
100 percent reside in South Asia and 100 percent reside in Islamic South Asia.
