The wife
of an Indian-origin doctor in the United States has surrendered
before authorities and will face charges of shooting to death
her millionaire husband.
Donna
Moonda, 47, surrendered on Monday, hours after a man romantically
linked to her pleaded guilty to the killing of Dr Gulam Moonda,
69, near Cleveland last year. Donna has been charged in a
federal warrant with interstate stalking that resulted in
her husband’s death. She has also been charged with aiding
and abetting.
On Thursday,
Damian Bradford, 25, admitted in an Akron (Ohio) court to
the same stalking charge as Donna and agreed to cooperate
with authorities in the case. He was to be sentenced to 17
years in prison. Prosecutors say Donna and Bradford had a
romantic relationship.
Gulam
Moonda, a highly successful urologist, was shot on May 13,
2005, when he pulled off the Ohio Turnpike south of Cleveland
to allow his wife to drive, authorities said. According to
Donna, a gunman emerged from another vehicle, shot and robbed
her husband and fled. Donna and her mother, who was also present
in the car, told authorities that they could not see the gunman.
Bradford
is suspected to have followed the Moondas as they drove out
of Pennsylvania and headed to Toledo.
According
to authorities, Donna and Bradford were having an affair and
had met at a drug rehabilitation centre. Donna was planning
to divorce her husband in the hope of getting up to $4 million
by way of settlement. From
