Horror in Hollywood!
She was known all over LA because her customers were among the most glamorous stars. Now the manager Angela Kukawski, known by everyone as Angie, was murdered at the age of 55.
“Angie” advised the who’s who in Hollywood, big names like the Kardashians or Kanye West were part of her vita and let her do the finances for them. The prominent neighborhood in the villa districts of the City of Angels is all the more shocked.
It’s a bloody act like something out of a horror script. The setting: Simi Valley, California, very close to Los Angeles. There, on December 23, the body of Kukawski was found in a trunk of a car, after she was last seen alive in Sherman Oaks near Hollywood and reported missing the day before.

According to the local site “Angelino News” Kukawski was stabbed, including the US portal “TMZ” claims to have found out that the murder weapon was supposed to have been a knife.
Maybe the killer has already been found. Los Angeles police released a letter stating that Kukawski’s friend Jason Barker, 49, had been arrested as an alleged perpetrator.

It is believed that Barker killed Angela in her home in Sherman Oaks and then drove her body to Simi Valley, about 30 minutes away.
In addition to murder, Barker is also accused of torture. The public prosecutor speaks of an act “with the aim of causing cruel and extreme pain as a result of revenge, extortion, persuasion and a sadistic impulse”.
A blood frenzy that could put him behind bars for life. Barker is currently in Van Nuys Prison on $ 3 million bail.
What remains is the shock to Kukawski’s former clients and colleagues. Rapper Nicki Minaj, who was also one of them, mourns on Instagram: “You don’t deserve that, Angela.”
