A British woman married to a US killer nicknamed Animal has finally met him for the first time as he serves his 24-year sentence.

Naomi Oquendo had never met her husband Victor Oquendo despite being in contact for two years

Previously called Naomi Wise, the jail mentor fell for Oquendo, 31 - nicknamed Animal - after a series of online chats.

He shot dead two rivals in a gangland hit and has served 12 years of his sentence, which also accounts for three armed robberies.

Loved-up Naomi, 27, is very open about the details of her unconventional life as a jail wife and regularly updates her social media followers.

She flew from her home in Manchester to Michigan, US over the weekend to see the double killer in the flesh for the first time on Monday.

Naomi said that her hubby grabbed her face and gave her an 'intense kiss' as soon as they saw each other.

She joked: 'You know that man has been waiting twelve years.

That kiss was a 12-year build up of no contact for this man.

'The correction officers were like, 'you can stop now'.'

The pair are not officially married yet but refer to themselves as husband and wife.

Despite being banged up, Oquendo has gifted her with an engagement ring, wedding ring and eternity ring.

Talking about her fairytale day, Naomi said: 'I got through security, I walked into the visiting room and I could just see the back of his head.

'And I was like, oh my God, he's f***ing real.

'I'm so nervous at this point, my whole body is shaking.

'And then he turns around and looks at me and as soon as I look at him, all my nerves disappear
