Ladies, if you ever come across this man, flee!

He derives joy in killing women he has successfully married.

He is a 57 year old former California lawyer, Lonnie L. Kocontes who was indicted in 2013 for the cruise ship murder of his second wife. He is now accused of trying to arrange the death of his third wife while in jail.

According to the NY Daily Times:

Investigators believe Kocontes strangled his on-again, off-again wife fatally and then tossed her overboard from the MS Island Escape the night after they toured Messina on the Sicilian coast. Her body appeared two days later, floating in the waters near Paola, prosecutors say.

Kocontes attempted to hire the inmates to convince his ex-wife to say she told the truth in front of a 2006 federal grand jury but switched her story after county prosecutors pressured her to lie in 2013, according to the D.A. He allegedly promised them a bigger payday if they killed her after she signed the document.

But one of the inmates’ attorneys later alerted law enforcement officials to the plan, the officials say.
