| KILLER? |
Mad minister, Julio Cesar Perez paid two men $1300 to kill his wife Sonia who was found dead in her van with a bullet hole in her head, cops say.
The 40-year-old, who leads a small church in Brownsville, TX, allegedly hired a church member to rub out the 39-year-old school teacher.
Two days after an officer found her, a woman told investigators that Cesar Perez had asked her three weeks earlier about two men she hired in the past to beat and rob someone, according to authorities.
Perez allegedly told her, "someone was in his way."
One of them the robbers put him in contact with another man who killed her.
Gabriel Apolinar Escalante, 20, was also arrested and charged with capital murder. Court documents show Perez told investigators he did not have any marital problems and didn't know anyone who would want to hurt his wife.
He told them he called his wife's principal to ask about her whereabouts after she didn't pick up their oldest daughter from school.
"They never had any problems, they were always happy, always showing each other love, supporting each other and always together at church," Bertha Trevino, a teacher at Perez's church said.
Perez was arrested Sunday.
"When Gabriel came back home, he stated the pastor was having a situation with his wife," the three-page affidavit reads.
"Gabriel stated the pastor wanted him to take care of the problem."
