A key police witness has alleged that O.J. Simpson, overwhelmed by jealousy over his ex-wife Nicole Brown moving on, hired notorious Mafia figures to murder her, according to a report by MailOnline.
Last week, this witness also placed Simpson at the scene of the brutal double murder of Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman on June 12, 1994.
Nicole was savagely attacked, suffering seven stab wounds to her neck and scalp, leading to her nearly being decapitated. Despite the severity of the crime, Simpson, backed by a high-profile legal team, was acquitted in a trial that captivated nearly 150 million TV viewers on October 3, 1995.
Following Simpson’s recent death at 76 after a cancer battle, MailOnline released a new recording in which witness John Dunton claims Simpson showed no remorse over the incident and had paid a significant sum to have his ex-wife killed. Dunton, cautious about revealing his sources, mentioned learning of Simpson’s actions from someone within his close network.

Private investigator Paul Barresi, now 75, who has worked with celebrities like Sharon Stone and Amber Heard, shared the recording of Dunton, who after decades of silence, claimed Simpson orchestrated the murder with the Gambino crime family’s assistance.
Initially cooperating with the police, Dunton later faced severe threats from mobsters, including a gun being forced into his mouth, warning him against speaking out. These threats led him to withdraw from cooperating with the investigation.
In his recorded conversation with Barresi, Dunton expressed relief at Simpson’s death, condemning his actions and the turmoil they caused. Dunton refrained from naming the mobster who threatened him, citing the individual’s continued influence and threat.
This latest revelation from Dunton comes after years of silence, marked by threats that kept him from sharing his knowledge with law enforcement, despite previous attempts to contact him regarding other high-profile cases.
