A Bronx building superintendent accused of murdering a 35-year-old tenant whose skeletal remains were found upstate last week, three years after she vanished, pleaded guilty in a separate case Wednesday to beating his wife and was sentenced to four years behind bars.

Nasean Bonie, 29, brutally attacked his wife with a tray table, belt buckle and his fists, punching her in the face and kicking her in the back until she was knocked unconscious, according to a criminal complaint. The woman ended up with a broken orbital bone and had to go to the hospital.

Bonie was also due in court for a procedural hearing in his murder trial for the death of Ramona Moore, the Bronx mother who disappeared from her apartment in July 2012.

There was no trace of Moore, who has four children in Queens, according to the Daily News, until Friday, when utility workers cutting trees near State Route 208 and Captain Carpenter Road in Orange County's Blooming Grove stumbled upon her remains, authorities said. A preliminary match using dental records was made during an autopsy Monday.

In court Wednesday, prosecutors asked for a month before the next hearing in the Moore case so the medical examiner could try to determine how she died. In the meantime, Bonie is remanded, 

Court records indicate Bonie and Moore argued about rent and fought in the days before she vanished.

Bonie would have been the first person to face a murder trial in the Bronx where there was no body. He has pleaded not guilty to murder and manslaughter charges in her death.
