This Guy Can't Stop Trying to Kill His Wives
Cops say a man can’t stop trying to kill his wives—and they can’t stop marrying him!
Lonnie L. Kocontes, 57, was already reportedly behind bars for ordering the death of one ex-wife when he tried to order a hit on a second, cops say. Via the NYDN:
Investigators believe Kocontes strangled his on-again, off-again wife fatally and then tossed her overboard from the MS Island Escape the night after they toured Messina on the Sicilian coast. Her body appeared two days later, floating in the waters near Paola, prosecutors say.
Kocontes attempted to hire the inmates to convince his ex-wife to say she told the truth in front of a 2006 federal grand jury but switched her story after county prosecutors pressured her to lie in 2013, according to the D.A. He allegedly promised them a bigger payday if they killed her after she signed the document.
But one of the inmates’ attorneys later alerted law enforcement officials to the plan, the officials say.
He’s facing an additional 11 years for his failed attempt at his failed annulment, prosecutors say. Ladies stop marrying this man!!!!
