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.'

Another left leaning white female put liberal tears ahead of common sense. Happens all the time in Europe and UK. Will be common place here soon.

She was probably taking those classes so she could understand why her husband was such a jerk and to understand why the hell she married him....she had the ethos of a liberated western woman trying to control a raging jealous 3rd world crazy....with the emphasis on the word “had”.
She was too stupid to carry a gun, or to poison his dumb ass using oleander or fugu toxin or hydrogen sulfide..
Don’t ya’ just love those pictures of the smiling happy family before one partner kills the other?

It’s been known to happen. Priapic post mortem erections are a thing.

Unfortunately.

She should have gone to counseling herself.

Do not marry anybody with a Jihadi name like “Ali” because in the end he will become “Ali-Achbar” with a scimitar in hand.

He should be drawn and quartered and then left as carrion in an empty field.

Perfect. Add a row of camera crews to record the award and watch the results as crime comes to a screeching halt.

I think it was the victim who was studying to be a therapist.

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

Apparently he wasn't bothered by "dead bedroom syndrome"...

I can’t believe that Zarbab Ali behaved this way.
