An Indian-American couple has been arrested for the murder of the man's former wife, also a person of Indian origin (PIO), in a Washington suburb.
Baldeo Taneja, 62, was arrested in Nashville, Tennessee, in connection with the slaying of Preeta Paul Gabba, 49, on Saturday morning in Germantown, Maryland.
Initially charged as fugitives from justice, the couple is awaiting extradition to Montgomery County, Maryland, the police said.
The police has issued warrants charging Taneja with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder.
Taneja’s wife, Raminder Kaur, 63, faces the same charges.
Gabba was found with a gunshot wound on Saturday at 7.46 am after people reported hearing gunshots in the area, a local television station reported citing the police.
Gabba was transported to a hospital where she was pronounced dead.
Several witnesses reported that a woman was seen walking by Gabba at the time of the shooting, but she left before the police arrived at the scene.
Taneja was scheduled to be in court in Montgomery County last Thursday regarding a domestic issue, but he failed to appear for the hearing.
The police also found that Taneja and Raminder were both in Montgomery County on Friday and Saturday. Both had purchased two firearms in Nashville on September 28.
