Hernandez note for ‘boyfriend’

Aaron Hernandez may have murdered Odin Lloyd to keep his own bisexuality a secret, according to a report yesterday which also said one of his suicide notes was addressed to a gay jailhouse lover.

Hernandez allegedly left behind three suicide notes before he took his life in a prison cell.

The former NFL star addressed notes to his fiancee, Shayanna Jenkins-Hernandez, and their 4-yearold daughter, Avielle, the Boston Herald reported.

Now another article claims Hernandez's third letter addressed to a prison inmate reveals the truth behind his suicide.

“One of the notes left by Hernandez was to his prison boyfriend, who is now on 24/7 suicide watch, multiple law enforcement sources confirm,” Newsweek reported.

Hernandez's sexuality had also played a role in the murder for which the disgraced New England Patriots tight end was serving life without parole in the Souza Baranowski Correctional Centre, the report said.

Hernandez may have fatally shot his old freind, Lloyd, in 2013 because Lloyd had been taunting him about his bisexuality, the report said.

It claims at the time, Hernandez had been carrying on a long-time affair with a male former high school classmate, a man who was forced to testify in front of a grand jury in the Lloyd murder.

The letters to his fiancee and daughter were found next to a Bible opened to John 3:16, the same verse that Hernandez had scrawled on his forehead in marker.

That verse reads: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

Hernandez, 27, killed himself five days after being acquitted in a 2012 double slaying that prosecutors said was fuelled by an argument over a spilled drink.

Prison officials told WBZ Boston “Hernandez hanged himself utilising a bed sheet that he attached to his cell window” in the correctional centre. — news.com.au
