The wife of banker Stephen Sherman, 47, who was shot in the head outside his home last Friday night, has reportedly been arrested for conspiring to murder her husband.
Renae Sherman, wife of the Palmdale CIBC assistant manager who was gunned down outside his Yamacraw home last Friday, is being questioned for her alleged involvement in a conspiracy to murder her husband.
A local website reports that a male suspect who was questioned in relation to Mr Sherman’s death has implicated the banker’s wife, who allegedly took out a substantial life insurance policy on her husband last summer.
The unidentified male suspect took Mr Sherman’s phone after shooting the victim, in what BahamasB2B intially reported as a staged robbery.
Indeed, it appears that the robber’s real goal was to kill Mr Sherman, whether the victim gave up his phone and money, or not.
Shermans’ neighbors remember seeing the suspect’s car, a silver Honda, on and off throughout the day on Friday, parked in different positions, as if laying in wait for Mr Sherman to arrive home.
When the banker pulled up to his house, with his niece at around 8:00pm, he was confronted by an armed man who shot him point blank in the head. The neice was not harmed.
To make the incident appear like a robbery the gunman took Mr Sherman’s cellphone, which was later used to track down the shooter who was stupid enough to use the phone after he murdered Sherman.
The 21-year-old suspect, who was was taken into custody Sunday evening, told police that Mr Sherman’s wife was involved in the planning of the murder.
Police also issued wanted bulletins for two other men.
Jamal Smith, 21, alias “Slick”, of Churchill Subdivision, has a dark brown complexion, is 5ft 7in tall with a slim build. Kenneth Neely, 21, alias “Swamper”, of Resurrection Boulevard, has a similar complexion and physique with a height of 5ft 10ins.
According to police sources, just days before his death, Sherman warned family members that he had begun to feel unsafe around his wife. He told family me mbers that if anything happened to him, they should look at his wife.
Further investigation revealed that at least one insurance policy had recently been taken out on Mr Sherman, with his wife as sole benificiary.
