A man is being held after apparently gunning down his wife and posting a gruesome picture of her body on Facebook.

Derek Medina, 31, was being quizzed by detectives in Miami, in the US state of Florida, after turning himself in following the death of wife Jennifer Alfonso, 26.

He just said that his wife picked up a knife on him, and they had a big fight, and he shot her

In a macabre twist, Medina apparently posted pictures showing his slain wife's blood-soaked body on Facebook earlier that day, under the caption "RIP Jennifer Alfonso".

In a status update posted just before the photo was uploaded, Medina revealed: "You will see me in the news."

"Im going to prison or death sentence for killing my wife love you guys miss you guys takecare Facebook people you will see me in the news.

"My wife was punching me and I am not going to stand anymore with the abuse so I did what I did I hope u understand me."
