Maputo, Dec 14 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Former TV chef host Juan-Carlos Cruz has been sentenced to nine years in jail for hiring two men to kill his wife.
However before the two men could harm the wife, the police were able to foil the plot. The behavior of Cruz has shocked his neighbors who saw Cruz as being a devout Christian and a devoted husband.
His wife - Jennifer Campbell is said to be suicidal because she couldn’t have a baby. Police believe that Cruz tried to kill the wife out of mercy for her because suicide is seen in the religion of Campbell as being a grievous sin.
The sentencing was carried out at the Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday. Reports say Cruz is a member of the Knights of Columbus as well as a volunteer at the Love on 4 Paws.
According to the investigators, Cruz offered the two men $1,000 to kill his wife. He reportedly tore the $100 notes into two and gave the supposed solicitors half with an arrangement to deliver the other half once the task was carried out.
The solicitors cooperated with the police and Cruz was subsequently arrested and jailed.
