NEW YORK AP – A woman distraught over losing custody of her 4-year-old daughter plotted with a relative to lure her estranged husband to a playground, where he was shot to death in front of the little girl by a gunman with a makeshift silencer, a prosecutor said Wednesday.
The prosecutor made the statement at the start of the murder and conspiracy trial of Dr. Mazoltuv Borukhova and her uncle Mikhail Mallayev. Borukhova is accused of paying Mallayev nearly $20,000 to kill Dr. Daniel Malakov, who was slain outside a Queens playground on Oct. 28, 2007.
