The ex-wife of a Woodland Hills doctor — who recently wept at his memorial — hired a hitman to ambush and murder him for financial gain, prosecutors say.
The ex-wife of a Woodland Hills doctor — who a few months ago wept at his memorial — hired a hitman to ambush and murder him for financial gain, prosecutors say. Ahang Kelk, 53, is charged with one felony count of murder and one felony count of assault with a deadly weapon in the slaying of Hamid Mirshojae, the L.A. County district attorney's office announced Monday.
Both men are charged with one felony count of murder and one felony count of assault with a deadly weapon. Hardman, arrested in Texas, was awaiting extradition to Los Angeles, prosecutors said. Ashley Rose Sweeting, 40, of Reseda, is accused of driving Hardman away from the scene of the killing. She is charged with being an accessory to murder and has pleaded not guilty. “The depth of the deceit and violence involved in this case is chilling,' said Dist. Atty. Nathan Hochman in a statement.
