They had dated since 2004, had visited England and France, and shared an Ardmore house for two years. But Nikolaus Banks said it was not until he was being questioned by detectives on Feb. 10, 2011, that he learned the full extent of girlfriend Padge Victoria Windslowe's lucrative sideline and how it had gone horribly awry.
Banks, 29, testified in Philadelphia Common Pleas Court on Friday during the second day of Windslowe's trial on third-degree murder charges in the Feb. 8, 2011, death of Claudia Aderotimi, a 20-year-old exotic dancer from London who flew to Philadelphia for a buttocks-enhancement procedure: silicone injections from Windslowe.
Banks said that on the afternoon of Feb. 7, 2011, Windslowe, 43, was driving him to work when she mentioned that "a girl she did a side job on that morning became sick and had some sort of bad reaction"... Banks said he tried to learn more about the "bad reaction" but Windslowe would not elaborate. "She said she'd keep me posted," Banks said.
