Monster's ex-wife: 'Sociopath' knows right from wrong

EXCLUSIVE
Accused child-killer Levi Aron is a cold sociopath who's all too fit to stand trial, his incarcerated ex-wife told The Post yesterday.
"His soul is doomed forever," Diana Diunov, 38, said from a federal prison in Danbury, Conn., of the man she divorced in 2005. "He will have Yom Kippur forever in his life!"
Diunov, in jail for wire fraud, said Aron should not be able to claim insanity.
"Trust me, this man is sane!" she said.
Raised by overly strict parents who became religious later in life, Aron "was very lonely because he was rejected by his own community," she said.
He was ostracized because he wasn't born into religious life, and "because he was slow, low-income," he was not considered a "prospective future son-in-law."
The community was "prejudiced to people like Levi and all others with mental problems, without trying to help them," she said.
As a husband, he was "nice to me, very soft-spoken, very soft manners," she said. "He was nice to my older daughter; she was then 10 years old."
Things ultimately didn't work out between them -- which she blames in part on the stunted maturity that she said comes from postponing sex until after marriage.
But for all his arrested development, Aron is perfectly capable of telling the difference between right and wrong, she said.
"He killed an innocent child for no reason but a desire to become famous," she claimed.
"He always believed that he can become a famous singer one day. That he can write songs."
At 35, with "no prospect of any fame," and "also after the big case of Casey Anthony, he decided to try his luck," she speculated.
"For him, the meeting of this little poor boy was a chance to shine into media and make himself known," she said. "He probably believes that he can get off by work of lawyers and God knows who else."
As she awaits her pending release, Diunov said she still does feel for her ex.
"I have two girls myself and, trust me, as a parent, I am so angry with Levi," she said. "But as a friend, I grieve for him."
But again and again she repeated her disgust with the possibility that Aron won't be held responsible for his actions.
"So far, they are hammering him and saying that he may be a child molester, may be a loner, may be this, may be that," she said.
"Nobody said that he is troubled man with the sociopathic behavior, but he is -- and it is doesn't fall in the category of 'not guilty by reason of insanity.' He is sane."
