The wife of a former Puerto Rico police officer who was shot and killed at his house has been charged with masterminding the slaying.
Police said Friday that Veronica Sastre is accused of hiring three people to kill Angel Jimenez. She faces charges including first-degree murder and destruction of evidence. It was not immediately clear if Sastre had an attorney.
One of the other suspects was an employee at a nursing home that Jimenez owned.
Jimenez was killed Wednesday in the northern town of Toa Alta.
