Inspector Clouseau Versus The Lesbians

Marine’s former wife sentenced to nearly 11 years in prison in plot to kill him

Wife and lover concocted failed plot to collect insurance money

 

SAN DIEGO (AP) – The ex-wife of a Marine was sentenced Nov. 15 to nearly 11 years in prison for a bungled plot with her lover to kill him to collect life insurance money.

 

Astrid K. Tepatti, 22, pleaded guilty in August to attempted murder, admitting she sneaked into her husband’s home on the Camp Pendleton Marine Corps base in January and fired a revolver at him.

 

The bullet lodged in the sofa where Sgt. Stephen Tepatti was sleeping. He was unhurt.

 

Tepatti’s lover, Ebony Wood, admitted making a makeshift silencer from a potato and driving Astrid Tepatti to the base.

 

Wood, 21, also pleaded guilty to attempted murder, saying she had been promised proceeds from the husband’s life insurance policy. She is scheduled to be sentenced in December.

 

It was not the only effort by the women to kill the Marine, authorities said.

 

The same day as the shooting, the women were arrested on a highway about 150 miles east of San Diego, and a bag of ricin was found in the car.

 

The women had made the deadly poison from castor beans with the idea of killing Tepatti, according to court documents and authorities.

 

In late 2003, according to the FBI, the women tried to kill Tepatti by luring him to the beach and stabbing him in the neck.

I'm surprised the Marine didn't realize, oh, say after the second attempt on his life, that he needed to get as far away from that crazy woman as possible.
