FOTIS Dulos was convinced there was a secret conspiracy to see him convicted, his suicide note has revealed.
Dulos died last week two days after attempting suicide at his Connecticut home while awaiting trial for the murder of estranged wife Jennifer Dulos.
Dulos, 52, was locked in an acrimonious custody battle with Jennifer, 50, when she disappeared in May last year.
He was arrested and charged with murder, felony murder, and kidnapping before being released on a $6 million bond.
Dulos was found unresponsive in an exhaust-filled car at his home on January 28 after failing to appear at court for a hearing.
He was rushed to hospital by paramedics and underwent specialist oxygen therapy but died two days later.
In a suicide note, Dulos referred to the case against him as “a story fabricated by the Law Enforcement” and claimed that “the State will not rest until I rot in jail.”
He also wrote: “I refuse to spend even an hour more in jail for something I had NOTHING to do with.
“Enough is enough. If it takes my head to end this, so be it.”
Dulos’s arrest warrant said police believed he had been “lying in wait” for Jennifer to return from dropping their children at home.
A friend had also told detectives that Dulos had asked to borrow and ask around a month before, saying he needed to chop some wood.
On the morning of Jennifer’s disappearance, security cameras captured a man thought to be Dulos dumping garbage bags in public bins from which police later retrieved clothing with Jennifer’s blood on them.
He had pleaded not guilty to the charges against him.
Dulos suicide note also said: “Please let my children know that I love them, I would do anything to be with them, but unfortunately we all have our limits.
“My attorney can explain what happened with the bags on Albany Avenue.
“I want to thank all my family and friends that stood by me the difficult time.”
Dulos’s attorney, Norm Pattis, has said he will carry on fighting the case, though it is not clear whether the state will allow him to do so.
