Talk about a clusterfawk… An abusive hubby with murder on the mind took the old cliché ‘if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again,’ to a violent level – and now he’s paying for it. Richard Boyd tied to persuade his handyman to kill his wife – and then asked another man to kill the pair of them when the handyman refused. Elizabeth Aaron, of Rockville, Maryland, said her husband Boyd’s history of abuse began shortly after their wedding in 2001. The brutality continued for several years, often leaving Miss Aaron bruised and battered. Beating his wife is bad enough but what Boyd cooked up next was downright evil… While they were separated, Boyd formulated a plan to make his wife pay. He called up his handyman, whom he also sold drugs to, and asked him to kill his wife – or find someone who could – for $10,000 and some Oxycontin pills. Instead of carrying out the plot, however, the handyman went to the police, and helped set up a sting operation that led to Boyd’s arrest. Boyd was arrested and charged with one count of solicitation of murder and one count of distribution of a controlled substance. While questioned, Boyd swore up and down that he had nothing to do with a murder-for-hire plot targeting his wife. But as he awaited his day in court, he arranged another hit on Miss Aaron, this time asking a fellow inmate to kill her – AND the double-crossing handyman. Under normal circumstances, Boyd would have spent four to nine years in jail, but after he planned a second heinous plot, the judge decided to throw the book at him. Boyd was slapped with a life sentence with a minimum of 20 years in jail. What an a$$hole this guy is…SMH Source
