The Los Angeles community is reeling after the tragic and shocking death of June Bunyan, a Scottish-born lawyer who had recently moved to the United States to pursue a career as a defense attorney. Authorities have identified her husband, Jonathan Renteria, as the prime suspect in her death.
June, who was just weeks postpartum, was found dead earlier this month. Court records indicate that she and Renteria had been married for about a year and shared a month-old baby. According to prosecutors, the couple allegedly argued over June “failing to lose weight following her pregnancy,” with reports suggesting that she had started packing her belongings prior to the fatal incident.
SUPPORT THE FAMILY - GOD BLESS YOU
Renteria is currently in custody with $4 million bail set. Documents state that he was found in a Ventura County hotel room, bleeding from a wound to his forearm, alongside a note purportedly admitting to killing his wife. During a recorded interview, prosecutors say Renteria admitted to putting June in a rear-naked chokehold, resulting in her death.
The case has shocked both the legal and local communities, highlighting the tragic consequences of domestic violence. Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding June Bunyan’s death while supporting the family during this devastating time.
