An enraged man living in Boston, Massachusetts, got arrested after he got nabbed trying to hire a contract killer to kill his wife and loverboy. His estranged wife left him to be with her boyfriend, which made the 46-year-old man very angry enough to have them fixed permanently.
Man Engages in Contract To Kill Estranged Wife, Her Boyfriend
The wife leaves her husband for her boyfriend was enough to drive him to extremes. Based on details disclosed on November 2022, the man, identified as Mohammed Chowdhury, reached out to someone to help him kill his wife, who later approached the police.
Information from the US Attorney's office for the District of Massachusetts reveals that the man had already paid for the job. But the man did not carry out the murder was not done because he only took the money and did not carry out the job. The report said that Chowdhury wanted the targets to be dead as soon as possible, and he even assured the payment, saying that if he had not had enough, then he was even willing to steal to get the money for it.
More disclosures from the attorney's office later added that a setup was done by federal law enforcement when the contact information of the suspect was obtained. An undercover agent completed the sting by acting as the hitman, per Yahoo.
Between December 2022 and January 2023, remarks from the Attorney's Office stated that the suspect saw the agents pretending to be contract killers and associates in a plot to have his estranged spouse and her boyfriend killed for what they did.
Chowdhury claimed that she kept him from seeing their kids, so he wanted his wife and her boyfriend to be robbed and beaten to prevent him from being named as the suspect. He also asked how they could make the bodies disappear to hide the murder.
Details about the hit on the man's spouse show a cost of $4,000 for each target, but a $500 deposit was agreed on. Chowdhury then provided information about his estranged wife and her boyfriend, including their home and workplaces.
On Tuesday, January 17, the attorney's office informed the Boston man met with undercover agents to receive his initial deposit. He got arrested at that same meeting by the undercover feds.
Suspect Charged with Murder-for-Hire
Authorities charged Chowdhury with a murder-for-hire with a court date set on January 20. Comments from the attorney's office said the suspect, if proven guilty, could spend ten years in prison, with three years of supervised release and a fine of $250,000.
An abuse prevention order was issued in October 2019 to stop abusing the separated wife, stop any contact, and mostly to prevent Chowdhury from getting physically close to her.
Later on, according to the Attorney's office, the suspect pleaded to sufficient evidence with a continuance with no findings. An enraged man from Boston got caught trying to hire a contract killer to target his wife and her boyfriend in a murder plot.
