ATLANTA, GEORGIA: ‘Hitman’ Faron Newbold is out of prison after he was allegedly ‘hired for kill’ by a Georgian woman named Lindsay Shiver. As per prosecutors, the former cheerleader is going through an ugly custodial battle with her stranged husband Robert Shiver and was involved in plotting his death.
The 29-year-old Bahamian walked out of his smart, new-build home in Abaco islands on Saturday morning, August 5. He held a green bottle and rode off in a $50,000 Mercedes SUV. However, he stopped on the side of the road to give a statement to reporters. “I’ve told you guys, I’ll speak to you when my lawyer says it’s OK.”
Will Lindsay Shiver escape prison sentence?
Lindsay Shiver, a Georgian mother-of-two, was arrested for conspiring to kill her estranged husband Robert Shiver amid an ongoing custodial battle for their children. She is now out on bail after being granted bond in the Bahamas. The 36-year-old was taken into custody after police found the unreleased evidence where along with her alleged lover, she shared Whatsapp messages and shared the picture of his former partner to the ‘hitman.’
Daily Mail earlier reported that she allegedly confessed during police interrogation that she forwarded the picture of Robert with the message ‘Kill him.’ If found guilty, she could be jailed from 30 to 60 years behind bars. However, experts believe, since the attempt to murder was never made, and Robert is safely back in Thomasville, Georgia with the pair’s three young sons, they will likely argue that she was ‘simply letting off steam.’
'It’s common knowledge that they are dating'
The insurance executive treated Lindsay badly and she was subjected to physical, mental, and emotional torture, as per documents filed in court. Lindsay is said to be dating her childhood friend Bethel Terrane Adrien Bethel -who was also released from prison for his involvement in conspiration. “It’s common knowledge that they are dating. It was like a crazy love affair between them,” a friend told.
As per the outlet, he worked as a structural engineer for a power company and is a wannabe music producer. Newbold’s father is a well-known local politician in Marsh Harbour, the principal town in Abaco.
“He has not confessed and there is little evidence that he agreed to an offer,” a source told reflecting that it will be hard to establish the crime. “There is no evidence that he objected either. But, of course, it will be up to the Crown to prove that he was genuinely prepared to kill Mr Shiver.”
