(RALEIGH, N.C.) — A prosecutor said the pictures a North Carolina man posted on Facebook of his dead wife and daughter are enough proof to show he is guilty of murder. But a defense attorney for Elhadji Diop said those photos were shrines to two people he killed accidentally and loved so dearly he tried to kill himself after their deaths. Diop is charged with two counts of murder and a Wake County jury is deciding his fate after a trial this week. The bodies of Diop’s 40-year-old wife, Aminata Drame, and his 2-year-old daughter, Fatim, were found by Raleigh police in April 2016 after Diop’s niece in Senegal saw the photos of the dead mother and child in an embrace on Facebook with “Look what God did to me” written underneath, prosecutors said. Diop was arguing with his wife about money when he allegedly strangled her.
