Former Broadway Dancer Admits to Murdering Boyfriend

According to the New York Daily News, Marcus Bellamy, a former Broadway ensemble member of Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark and Disney's Tarzan, admitted via two disturbing Facebook posts that he had killed his boyfriend. The first reads, "Forgive me. I did it because I love you. I love you all. I love you also. He told me love and hate are the same emotion. Forgive me. I know not what I do. I did it for love. For god. On high," while the second reads "I am god. I give life and can take it away. So let it be. #therapture"

Police discovered the boyfriend, Bernardo Almonte, lying face-down in the apartment in a pool of blood, following Bellamy's confession to a neighbor that he had killed Almonte. Police have not revealed what the couple were arguing about, but Bellamy has been charged with beating Almonte to death during the altercation.

This is Bellamy's fourth arrest since 2007, but the first violence-related charge.
