Kentucky doctor pays undercover agent $7K to kill ex-husband: feds

A Kentucky physician is accused of hiring a hitman to kill her ex-husband, federal officers say.

Stephanie Russell, 52, who's a pediatrician in Louisville, allegedly agreed to pay an undercover FBI agent $7,000 to whack her former partner final Sunday, in line with US prosecutors.

On Wednesday, Russell left $3,500 in money in a drop field exterior her workplace to settle half the faux hitman’s invoice, the feds say.

She had allegedly instructed the agent she would pay him the opposite half after he completed the job.

The typical pediatrician in Louisville earns $199,300 per 12 months, in line with Wage.com.

Russell was charged with utilizing interstate commerce amenities within the fee of murder-for-hire and faces ten years behind bars, authorities mentioned.

Her on-line bio on Norton Youngsters’s Medical Group had been disabled Friday evening.
