90s R&B Singer Arrested for Killing His Wife


Russell Neal of the 90s R&B singing group Hi Five arrested in Houston for killing his wife…

According to reports Russell Neal walked into a Harris County Sheriff's Office around 6 p.m. and told officers he killed his wife and needed a lawyer.

Neal's wife, fitness model Catherine 'Brasilia' Martinez, was found inside their apartment with multiple stab wounds and signs of blunt force trauma. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Brasilia is the mother of two boys, but it is not clear if they are Neal's sons or if they were home at the time of the incident.

Russell Neal told officers he had been arguing with his wife before the incident, but later refused to give any further information without his lawyer present.

Unfortunately this is not the first tragedy to befall members of Hi Five.

Back in 2007 Hi-Five lead singer Tony Thompson died after inhaling Freon from air conditioning units in his apartment complex [click here if you missed that].
