Aboxing coach in Houston staged his own death after discovering his wife hadhired a hit man to kill him. Ramon Sosa, 50, began working with the FBI andHouston detectives to prove that Maria “Lulu” Sosa, 43, attempted to have himkilled. She unknowingly exposed[c1] her intentions by attempting to hirea hitman, who, coincidentally[c2] , turnedout [c3] to be a friend and former boxingstudent of Ramon’s.
Inorder to prove without the shadow of a doubt[c4] that his wife had actually paid someone to have him killed, Ramonhad to make himself dead, using makeup, and lying in a shallow[c5] grave in the desert with whatappears to be a gunshotto his right temple[c6] and fake blood dripping[c7] on his face. He then had to lay low[c8] until the police nailed[c9] his wife, who apparently laughed when she saw the photo ofher dead husband.
“Unwittingly[W用10] , she had approached[W用11] a guy called Gustavo to see if hecould organize the hit[W用12] , without realizing we were friends,”Ramon said. “I knew him because I’d coached him. He’d been in trouble in thepast. At first, when he called and said he needed to see me because someone‘wanted to kill me’ I thought he was joking.”
Luluoffered Gustavo a mere[W用13] $1960 USD to murder her husband.Unfortunately for her, Gustavo had taped[W用14] a microphone under his clothes andrecorded the entire exchange. He then immediately turned[W用15] the incriminating[W用16] evidence over to HoustonPolice. In October 2016, Lulu pleaded[W用17] guilty to solicitation[W用18] of murder and was jailed [W用19] for 20 years.
