New footage shows Courtney Clenney covered in blood as she pleaded with police to let her see her boyfriend as he lay bleeding from a stab wound.
Former OnlyFans model Clenney has been charged by police for fatally stabbing her cryptocurrency trader boyfriend Christian Obumseli.
Police have charged the 27-year-old with second-degree murder for the incident that occurred on April 3, 2022, at their Miami apartment.

Clenney has pleaded not guilty to the charge and her attorneys have argued that she acted in self-defence.
New footage of the moment police discovered the body of Obumseli bleeding at their home has been released and obtained by WPLG.
You can watch the upsetting video below:
In the footage, Clenney is found holding up Obumseli and is covered head to toe in his blood.
As police attempt to remove her, she can be heard saying 'baby, baby, baby, wake up' and 'no, no, no,'
“I can't let this happen, it wasn't me," she said as police pulled her hands behind her back and cuffed her.
As paramedics and police attended to Obumseli, a police officer guarded Clenney and his body cam footage shows the OnlyFans model telling the officer 'I'm terrified for him' and 'I was so scared'.
“I am covered in his blood because I was trying to save him... I need him, he was my other half,” she added.
The model had previously told officers investigating the case that Obumseli had pushed her and thrown her to the floor.
She then alleged that she grabbed a knife and thew it at Obumseli from about ten feet away.
Medical examiners who performed the autopsy on Obumseli said his wounds could not have been caused by a knife thrown from that distance.
After the stabbing Clenney called the police and the 911 audio revealed that she said 'baby, I'm so sorry'
She did not tell the operator that she had stabbed him, but cried about how sorry she was, according to reports.
Obumseli, in the background, could be heard crying out: "I can't feel my arm."
Clenney has previously been arrested for domestic battery in Las Vegas and the police have been called to the couple’s home when they lived in Austin, Texas.
When they moved to Miami, at the beginning of 2022, staff and residents at the building reported multiple domestic disturbance complaints too.
In January Clenney's parents, Deborah, 57, and Kim Clenney, 60, were arrested and were accused of trying to conceal evidence and were taken into custody.
