Wife accused of hiring four hitmen
BROOKSVILLE (AP) – Police say a Hernando County wife hired four hitmen to kill her husband of 24 years.
Jacqucia Francois was arrested Saturday on suspicion of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder. She’s being held with no bail.
Authorities say the Brooksville woman planned an early morning home invasion as part of a plot to kill her husband, but the plan fell through. They say she lied about knowing the suspects. They also found her cashing a certificate of deposit worth more than $57,000, splitting the amount into two cashier’s checks.
Two other suspects have been arrested. A warrant was issued for a third person. A fourth suspect remains at large.
