New Developments in Fatal Stabbing Case of Lacramioara “Mirela” Beldie

CHICAGO — Recent updates have shed light on the tragic events surrounding the fatal stabbing of Lacramioara “Mirela” Beldie on the Northwest Side by her estranged husband, Constantin Beldie, who was later found dead. These developments include the determination of Constantin Beldie’s cause of death by the Cook County Medical Examiner and a concerning trend in the detention of domestic violence defendants since a controversial court ruling.

Lacramioara “Mirela” Beldie, aged 54, was brutally attacked by her husband in the 5600 block of West Leland on November 19. An off-duty Chicago police officer intervened during the assault, resulting in shots fired at Constantin Beldie, who fled the scene. Tragically, the officer also sustained a gunshot wound to his leg, although details surrounding the injury remain unclear.

Approximately three hours after the attack, Constantin Beldie was discovered deceased inside his vehicle near his residence, just a block away from the crime scene. Initial reports suggested a gunshot wound to his shoulder, but subsequent investigations revealed that Beldie died from intentional inhalation of his car’s exhaust, ruling his death a suicide.

Prior to the fatal incident, Constantin Beldie had recently pleaded not guilty to charges of aggravated domestic battery by strangulation and attempted kidnapping related to a violent altercation with Mirela in October. During his court appearance, prosecutors highlighted the severity of the offenses and requested his detention, citing safety and flight risks. However, Judge Thomas Nowinski denied the petition and released Beldie with a GPS monitor, a decision that sparked controversy.

Following public outcry and anonymous threats directed at Judge Nowinski, Cook County Chief Judge Timothy Evans reassigned his duties to exclude handling domestic violence cases. Subsequent data analysis revealed a significant increase in the approval rate of detention petitions for domestic violence defendants since the change in judicial responsibilities.

Notably, judges Torrie Corbin, Sabra Ebersole, and Elizabeth Ryan have each granted over 60% of detention petitions presented to them, reflecting a more cautious approach towards ensuring the safety of potential victims. This shift in judicial response underscores the importance of prioritizing the protection of individuals vulnerable to domestic violence and the need for consistent and effective legal measures.
